Tons of great information. Perfect way to begin a week in Madrid. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate about his city.

Tuk Tuk is wonderful!

David_B, 25-09-2022

While my wife and I have visited Madrid four times, this was our first Turk Tuk experience. It was memorable! We particularly enjoyed John‘a ability to maneuver the vehicle into parts of Madrid that we had not yet experienced. Because of John I feel like we know Madrid much, much better.

Highly recommend

Very useful summary of the city

For a 1.5 hour tour we were shown the most important land marks and the historical perspective by a graduate in history. If you don’t have much time to explore or need a summary of Madrid to decide where you want to spend more time this tour will be useful
