"Really loved our tour with Julien! Such a great tour guide. Our city highlights tour was filled with historical and modern day details that brought the history of Spain and Madrid to life. He was patient with all of our questions and our two (2,4) young children. One of our favorite tours. Thank you so much!"

"Laura was outstanding! She was incredibly knowledgeable about art and history. She focused on certain pieces to help navigate the whole museum in two hours, but when we asked about other paintings in a given room, she knew about and had context for all of them. She's also very personable and engaging - a great experience all around! "

"Piero was awesome ! Not only is he a local very familiar with the history and traditions of Madrid, but you could tell he enjoyed hosting the tour as much as we enjoyed participating in it. On that note, the tour did involve our “participation”. It was the extra flair that Piero bring. Certainly, that made things even more interesting. "

"Ari was an outstanding guide - we got a feel Not only for the city but the culture of the people - we went to local spots full of history . The food choices and drinks could not have better . Not only would I recommend this tour , I would go on it again!!!!"

"Elena was an awesome guide at the Prado! It was a small group, just my husband and I, and she really took the time to get to know us. She was super knowledgeable about the most important works at the Prado, putting them in historical and artistic context. We couldn’t have had a better experience."

"Iker gave us (4 recently retired professors from the USA) a guided tour of the Prado Museum in January 2026. Iker was friendly and a thoughtful guide, who responded to us with flexibility and insight. Having been teachers ourselves, we noticed his effective strategy for the tour: first he told us what we would see, then he showed us those items, then he reviewed and explained what we saw. We totally responded to his guidance and insight. On top of that, after the tour, he had the added touch of emailing us all high-quality images of each of the pictures we viewed and discussed. Those now form a valuable reminder of our very successful tour with Iker. "

"Majo gave us (4 newly-retired profs from the USA) a personal tour of the Riena Sofia Museum in January 2026. She greeted us at the appointed location in a warm and friendly manner. After getting to know one another a bit, we started the tour in a rather unassuming room where some of the images looked like they were prints, not originals. It seemed a bit bewildering at first but, as the tour progressed, it became clear that she was very deliberate in her selections and their description. In fact, the theme of her tour became very clear and compelling: that the socio-politics of Spain drove the art that we were seeing. Her narrative was so convincing that when we ultimately entered the room with Picasso's Guernica, it was not only an aesthetic experience, but an emotional one as well. She gave us a powerful narrative about Spanish art that we will remember and re-visit in our minds for a long time. Thank you Majo!!!"

"I had an incredible time exploring Madrid with Carolina! She is an absolute wealth of knowledge and her pleasant personality made the day fly by. If you’re looking for a guide who is both brilliant and helpful, look no further. 10/10 recommendation!"

"For two people with very limited knowledge of Spanish history and art, Iker was spot-on! He listened to us and adjusted the itinerary perfectly. His knowledge and passion were superb. We learned so much about Goya, Velasquez and more. We recommend Iker highly. "

"Stop looking for a great tour guide and book Piero -- you will be hard pressed to find anyone better!! We were lucky enough to have Piero's lovely wife, Laura, join us as well. Piero's tour felt like a walk around the city with a good friend. His depth of knowledge about the city he loves (and the delicious food in it) is obvious, but his presentation is conversational, highly engaging and light -- all infused with a wonderful sense of humor. He even took extra time to give us a little insight into the art of bullfighting - which was quite enlightening and much appreciated (although not a part of our "official" foodie tour). Our group was not without its challenges as we were 4 meat lovers, 1 pescaterian and 1 vegetarian. Piero did not miss a beat, and we all enjoyed many delicious drinks and tapas at a nice variety of stops. Be sure to ask him about the artichokes -- as they are not to be missed!! And if you get the chance to have Laura join you, say "yes!""
