Our tour with Majo was lovely. The stories made the palace and cathedral very interesting and come alive. Since we were hungry we diverted our tour to a tapa tour! It was fun to learn about Spanish food and to get her insights & knowledge on the menu options in Mercado de San Miguel and the tapas restaurants along the Cava Baja street. Informative & Flexible

We enjoyed our morning with Mateo. He provided us with a better understanding of the historic center of Madrid and also helped us, before we ended the tour, to plan our remaining days in the city. He knew the city well and we enjoyed his low-key and very comfortable way of relating. I would unhesitatingly recommend him. Great Intro to Madrid

Majo was an awesome guide. She loves her city and she loves the sights. My grown daughters and I enjoyed her so very much and do suggest her to anyone reading this. One thing that stood out with me. She said, when most people travel they want to go to the amusement park and ride roller coasters, this is my roller coaster." as she pointed to the art work in Madrid. It was certainly very nice. Both of my daughters are highly educated and wanted to know details, Majo delievered.Fantastic!!!

Victor weaves history and story together in a passionate presentation. As a Madrid native, his perspective is decidedly Spain-centric which will interest the curious and perhaps not align with your ideas. We really enjoyed our tour which ended with a light beverage and snack. Everywhere he goes, Victor will know someone, as if Madrid is a small town. Be sure to pause for hydration, since Madrid is a dry climate.Dedicated Historian

My wife and I had a private 3 hours walking tour of Madrid with Darwin's on, and he was very knowledgeable and fun and engaging. We were able to gain a great feeling for Madrid and a good orientation of the city at the start of our stay. Private tours are always more expensive, but we find them much more personalised and insightful. The app was easy to use, communications from Darwinson were timely and effective. We highly recommend this tour.Great tour of Madrid

We will definitely use her again if we come back to Madrid.Walking tour - Madrid and Prado Museum
