We did the free walking tour of the old town and loved it. Tatiana spoke very good English, she was very energetic and we learnt a lot about Madrid. Tipping is not mandatory but with the quality of the tour it is definitely deserved. Loved the experience and would definitely recommend it.

I met up with my guide and expected a huge group with little personal vintagetips, but was surprised I was alone due to cancellations. We had such a good time and I couldn’t have asked for a friendlier, more engaged guide. Thank you!

Tatiana, thank you for the amazing tour. We were really lucky to get you as our guide in Madrid. In less than 3 hours we have learned so much of Madrid history, seen so many historical buildings and even visited the cellars of the oldest Madrid restaurant. Highly recommended. Alex, Oksana (Canada)
