Madrid old city - history & curiosities

Our tour guide was Mel and he did a fantastic job. His stories about Madrid were captivating and also funny at times. He also gave us a bunch of tips where to go (also where not so) to best experience Madrid and and its cuisine. He made us feel very inclusive and did his best to answer all the questions. He was so engaging that we even went over time but it was absolutely worth it. Kudos to him and to the organisers of these tours as it really helps us, tourists, taste Madrid a bit. Thank you so much. Greetings from Camino sisters ????

Would recommend!

I'm really glad I took the opportunity to join this tour. It was a really interested stroll through the streets of Madrid while learning about the rich history of the city. I only wish that I wasn't suffering from jet lag and could have remembered more of what was shared.
