Best Tour Guide in Madrid!
We had an incredible experience touring Madrid with Julio Cesar! He was knowledgeable, kind, and had a great way of connecting with both of our kids (ages 6 and 13), keeping them engaged and curious the entire time. Julio showed us places and shared insights we never would have discovered on our own. It truly felt like exploring the city with a friend who loves Madrid and wants you to love it too. We couldn’t recommend him more!

Private Tour of Cental Madrid
Julian is very friendly and knows a lot about the history of Spain and Madrid. Although 5 hours seems like a lot, it flew by with so much to see. He managed to make good use of the time including a nice tour of the Cathedral and the Crypts and the few, remaining ancient ruins. These were not included as part of the tour that I joined the next day.
