Talking with Victor
My husband and I had a lovely time walking around the Madrid and learning the history of the buildings we were seeing. We also enjoyed sitting down with them and having a glass of cava and some jamon. A very enjoyable morning, thank you, Victor.

Perfect City Guide
We spent the day with Marianissa. She took my family of 4 around the city and interacted with my kids. She helped him find his Real Madrid items and new soccer shoes. Its like having a big sister taking you around town when you visit. We went to dinner and she recommended an awesome steak place.

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 fantastic morning exploring Nad
Exploring Madrid with Viktor is both entertaining and a learning experience. Viktor has a way of making the tour enjoyable while sharing his passion for history and deep knowledge of the city. I always find walking tours as a good opportunity of getting a good overview of any city…but touring with Viktor has gone over and beyond just an overview.
