Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Carolina was fantastic. We only had 90 minutes so it needed to be quite punchy. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. But really made an effort to make sure the tour was what we needed. And good fun, great sense of humour, down to earth. Fully recommend. "
"We booked a private tour with Dawinson and enjoyed our walk through the streets of Madrid very much. It was a relaxing tour with a mix of city and cultural highlights and recommendations on good spots for Tapas and local specialties. Very enjoyable to see the city through the eyes of a local."
"We had a experience on the Madrid tour led by Julian. His blend of humor and deep knowledge truly made the city come alive. He seamlessly shared fascinating stories and facts about the sights, all while keeping us entertained. Julian's passion for Madrid was evident and made the tour both fun and informative. Highly recommend his tours!"
"We did an excellent Prada tour with Victor. He is very knowledgeable and thoughtful about art and history. We really enjoyed our time together."
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Madrid, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Madrid spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Madrid.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Madrid, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Madrid awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Madrid, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Madrid. Get ready to explore like a local!

"My 14-year-old daughter and I did a two-hour Prado tour with Iker, and it was excellent. We were short on time and wanted to focus on the most interesting works and stories, and the tour was perfectly tailored to that. Everything ran smoothly from the start - we met easily and stored our cases at the museum without issues. We covered around 15–20 key pieces, and for each one, Iker explained the history, context, and artistic reasoning in a genuinely fascinating way. The Prado is vast and can feel overwhelming, so having such a knowledgeable guide was invaluable. We also visited the Cloister of Los Jerónimos and learned about its history and how it’s been integrated into the museum. Although my daughter was a bit tired after a wedding the night before, I’m sure she’ll remember this visit as a meaningful addition to her art studies, she’s a keen artist. Iker was open, engaging, and kind, and we’re very grateful to have had him as our guide."
"Julian was spot-on with the history and dates, but kept everything light and easy to follow. He’s got a great sense of humor and gave us a really solid overview of Madrid that made the city feel more alive. He also shared great tips on what to do after the tour, which was super helpful. Would definitely recommend a tour with him."
"I had an enthralling 3 hour walk of historical centre of Madrid with Julio Cesar. His knowledge of this beautiful city is extraordinary and he is a very friendly guy! The time flew as we time traveled the 1500 years since the Moors were running the show around these parts."
"Ari was a wonderful guide, we really enjoyed our evening with her! Her customer service leading up to our tour was top notch as well!!"
"Julio Cesar Was wonderful. He gave us a great overview of all the neighborhoods of the city and talked to us about the culture Madrid which was perfect for us as we are considering moving there. He was also really great with my children. He did a great job explaining the couple of neighborhoods we saw and gave us a good restaurant recommendation and even stayed with us longer than planned so we could have a more comprehensive tour. When we come back to Madrid in the future we will definitely reach out!"
"Iker waited like a scholar ready to help us on our artistic journey. We were lucky that the crowds were minimal on our November visit. We absolutely had the best opportunity to explore the meaning of Hieronymus Bosch‘s Garden of Earthly Delights. His presentation of El Lavatorio was unforgettable. Overall an amazing tour and well worth it"
