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.

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.

Elena was fantastic and really connected with our group of 6 first time Madrid visitors. She really took at lot of time to get to know us and our preferences, and to design a tour to fit our entire group. We loved the art & architecture focus and really appreciated some special "insider" surprises she provided. We're so glad to have a new best friend in Madrid. Highly recommended!!

A fascinating evening with a friend
I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with Carmen. I have visited Madrid several times and thought I knew the city reasonably well but Carmen’s knowledge and love for her city opened my eyes to so much more. On top of this her warmth and engaging personality made me I feel as if I spent a few hours hanging out with a friend. It was a wonderful evening full of fascinating insights and lots of laughs. I would recommend Carmen whole-heartedly.
If you are thinking of booking with her … do it!
