Wonderful first day in Madrid
We took the tour with Patricia on our first day in Madrid. It was a wonderful experience for our family’s first trip to Spain where she introduced us to the local culture and food. We enjoyed the tastings and food stops. Along we way, she showed us a nice Catholic Church San Anton. We also had engaging conversations with her. We highly recommend taking this tour with Patricia.

Totally worth the time!
Not only is Edgard extremely knowledgeable, but he’s a great storyteller. He knew many interesting details about the sites we visited while sharing details of the areas where the people live and work. We stopped for coffee and a tortilla where we learned about his career path that led him to become a professional photographer. We felt like we were with an old friend. This tour is vale la pena!
