Exploring Madrid with Viktor is both entertaining and a learning experience. Viktor has a way of making the tour enjoyable while sharing his passion for history and deep knowledge of the city. I always find walking tours as a good opportunity of getting a good overview of any city…but touring with Viktor has gone over and beyond just an overview. A fantastic morning exploring Nad

Patricia hat uns einen Überblick über die Geschichte und Traditionen Ihres Landes gegeben und dabei viele Sehenswürdigkeiten und Plätze von Madrid gezeigt. Wir konnten Orte sehen, die man in keinem Reiseführer findet. Durch kleine Geschichten aus ihrem eigenen Leben wurde die Tour persönlich und individuell, sodass wir das Gefühl bekommen haben, mit einer Freundin durch ihre Stadt zu gehen. Danke für die Erfahrung!Eine tolle Führung mit der ganzen Familie

(About local Eva)

28 July 2024

While we are flying to Madrid from San Sebastián, we noticed that Madrid was going to be around 95-100 F during our scheduled tour time. We contacted Eva early in the morning and she responded quickly and was able to change the time so that we can walk around during a cooler window of time. We also only had the afternoon in Madrid as we had a flight early next morning. Eva has a lot of positive energy which we needed as our family was tired and it was hot. Eva had a good fund of knowledge and able to show us both some of the must see (royal palace, cathedral and Mercat San Miguel) to some of the local spots that people would not have known. I would suggest that if one would choose Eva, one should ask questions. I think that she is is relatively familiar with the sites that she takes you on, but to get the most out of the tour, it is best to ask questions as well. Ambulating Through Madrid

Our group of five friends recently embarked on a 3-hour tour of Madrid with Dawinson, and it was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we met Dawinson, his passion for the city and its rich history was palpable. He greeted us with a warm smile and a friendly demeanor that instantly made us feel at ease. The tour was expertly curated, balancing historical insights with vibrant stories that brought each location to life. We started at the magnificent Royal Palace, where Dawinson's knowledge of Spanish royalty and architecture was truly impressive. He seamlessly guided us through the bustling streets of Madrid, pointing out hidden gems and must-see landmarks. What set this tour apart was Dawinson's ability to cater to our group's interests. Whether we were intrigued by art, fascinated by history, or simply looking to enjoy the local culture, he had something special for everyone. His recommendations for tapas bars and local delicacies were spot on, and we enjoyed some of the best food we've had in Spain. Dawinson's storytelling skills were remarkable. He shared fascinating anecdotes and little-known facts that kept us engaged and entertained throughout the tour. His enthusiasm was infectious, making the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. Dawinson even offered to take group photos, ensuring we had perfect memories to take home. Overall, Dawinson provided an exceptional tour of Madrid that exceeded all our expectations. His expertise, friendliness, and personalized approach made it an unforgettable experience for all of us. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore Madrid in a fun, informative, and engaging way. We felt like we left with a local friend.

Edgard was a wonderful guide. We specifically asked to tour Retiro Park and he went above and beyond. He met us at our hotel and walked us through the neighborhoods explaining the history behind each neighborhood until we reached the park. We wondered through the park and then back to Plaza Mayor with Edgard pointing out wonderful information as we went. He made great recommendations for lunch and made reservations for us.Great tour through Retiro Park and beyond

Edgard led my BF and me on a special walking tour of Madrid in April. On a personal level, he is delightful, personable and inquisitive. On a professional level, he has deep knowledge of the most significant historical and architectural gems in the city. His approach is "professorial" in style, but not pedantic. His command of the English language (and several others) is quite remarkable, and his enthusiasm for Madrid is contagious. Spending time with him was a highlight of our Spain visit and I wish we would have had more time to spend with him. Thank you for a great morning!Far exceeded expectations!

26 May 2024

We learned so much from our tour with Victor. He gave us a sense of the real melting pot that Madrid is, in an information filled, yet humorous way. You can tell he is passionate about this city. It’s easy to get caught up in his enthusiasm for the history, local culture, the theater, and what it’s like to be a Madrilene. Also, I am a very slow walker and Víctor accommodated that without saying anything. We covered a lot of ground, with stops and avoiding the bright sun as needed. It was a wonderful introduction to Madrid; we hope to cover some of his museum and restaurant suggestions into the remainder of our vacation. Victor is Madrid

Edgard was very punctual and well prepared. I had asked for some special stops and route choices which he accommodated very well. At every stop, including places we just expressed interest in, he had an interesting bit of history or anecdote. He took us into off-the-road places of interest we would have missed on our own, and gave us great recommendations for music and food. Overall, he did a great job of showing us the present day city as a product of its past.Friendly knowledgable accommodating guide

The tour guide knew next to nothing about where we were visiting. Indeed, she got lost for an hour wandering around aimlessly. I knew more about Toledo than she did She also was very unprofessional bringing one of her kids along. It was like a family excursion to see Toledo which they knew nothing about and I was paying for it. It got so bad I told her to leave me and my girlfriend and we would just get back to Madrid on our own. All of this is part of the bigger problem with WithLocals. The guides are inexperienced, unknowledgeable and unprofessional. They also are unlicensed. They take your money and pretend to know what they are doing. I’m never using them again!!! DO NOT USE WITHLOCALS - IT IS FRAUD
