Magical Madrid

Yulia was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G-! We met around 9:30 AM and set about on a brisk morning walk to kickstart our tour. Having hit many of the "must see" sights already, we were looking for a unique experience to fully immerse us into the local culture and 'off the beaten path' sights. Yulia 100% met our expectations and even delivered beyond. Her historical knowledge was on point, not to mention her knowledge on fun facts, neighborhoods, diversity, local customs, etc. We learned so much today of a 'behind the scenes' view. We asked many questions and Yulia indulged us each and every time. We definitely recommend the tour as you will be exposed to an experience that the locals live on a daily basis. We covered many miles in walking, so wear comfortable shoes! We really appreciated the coffee break to rest our feet and to chat comfortably over coffee, tea and beer. We did have a hiccup in our meeting point which we assume responsibility for as we should have abided by the confirmation note in WhatsApp vs. the booking details in withlocals.com. Yulia, however, was incredibly patient and accommodating and was so very kind to us not holding our hiccup against us.

Moments in Madrid

Majo (Maria Jose) was pure joy and a beautiful welcome to Madrid for our first time in the city! Her communications leading up to our meeting were timely, the meeting location was discovered with ease, and her promptness of arrival was appreciated. From the moment we met Majo, we felt like family, especially after being greeted with a warm and welcoming hug. The tour highlights were wonderful learning a lot about hot spots of the city. My husband and I soaked up the history of the Monarchy of Madrid, the gastronomy culture, and were pleasantly surprised that we were able to attend 7pm mass at The Cathedral immediately following our tour. The timing of the tour was providential to allow for mass. Majo is quite the hidden gem of Madrid and definitely worth joining on one of her many tour offerings. You will part as family.

Excellent lessons in history and art!

Majo is a born teacher! We learned so much history of the Spanish royal families and important artists that made the sites, paintings, and sculpture we saw come alive. She tells her stories with humor and love. Don't miss this!

A wonderful tour in a wonderful city

Patricia was a fantastic guide. As part of a city tour, she provided us with countless insights into the culture and history of Madrid. Patricia’s historic knowledge was stunning and her many tips for authentic restaurants and tapas bars along the way were priceless. Almost needless to say that Patricia is absolutely fluent in English. We highly recommend her to anyone who wants to discover the hidden gems and treasures of Madrid. Thank you, Patricia for being such a great host in this remarkable city.
