Great art, excellent guide
Drica made us feel right at home in the fantastic atmosphere of Lavapiés. It felt like being with an old friend with wonderful communication skills and excellent English. One has to understand the cultural importance of street art in Madrid, but also specifically in Lavapiés to truly appreciate the city. A must do with Drica. It takes you places that you would not see in Madrid without this tour. Thank you so much, we loved it.

Very informative and engaging tour!
Govi was so lovely - flexible with time as we were early and so knowledgeable about the paintings and Spanish history. The 2 hours flew by and we really appreciated being in the museum with someone who understood the art history so well. Thank you, Govi 💜

Absolutely Fabulous
What a great morning with the passionate and enthusiastic Iker. Usually we wander aimlessly through museums, finding works that take our eye. But Iker took us to a really interesting selection of art that each told a unique story of history, the artist and/or subject. We didn’t realize how much we were missing until Iker enlightened us. We’d highly recommend Iker and this tour.

Victor is a passionate guide, energetic, studious, insightful, friendly, opinionated and philosophical. Through his understanding of his country's place in history, you may reflect on your own ideas of Spain. We especially enjoyed his Prado tour and highlights of Spanish classic art. In his words, we are all bastards and children of Rome. :-D Enjoy.
