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.

Informative and Fun
Victor did a great job of tailoring the tour to our interests. He was informative on not only local sites but culture as well, which made the tour more interesting. He asked for feedback on what we wanted to see and what we could skip. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Victor.
