Well, You say "tapas", and I say "raciones", because we share food between all. But let's say that you receive 3 tapas per person

"From Madrid to heaven!" - Madrid Like a Local
Forget simply checking Madrid's famous sites. I want you to experience Madrid the way I would show it to a friend visiting for the first time: beautiful historic streets, royal stories, hidden corners, local food and the places where Madrileños actually enjoy their city.

Madrid Day Trip Tours
Segovia, A Visit To A World Heritage City, Aqueduct, Suckling Pig & Much More
Segovia is my family's hometown, so it is in my heart. They have an amazing Roman aqueduct, a fortress, a Walt Disney-style castle, and a cathedral known as "The Lady of the Cathedrals," plus their speciality food: a suckling pig and lamb steak lunch. To Segovia, the best way is the high-speed train with its unbeatable price. To reach there, you will need a local like me more than in any other place, as the stations in Madrid and in Segovia aren't in the centre.

Madrid Tour Reviews

“ A Great Tour with Victor – Interesting Sights and a Comfortable Pace”
We thoroughly enjoyed our three-hour tour with Victor. He took us to several iconic landmarks as well as a couple of interesting, off-the-beaten-path locations that aren't typically included on other tours. One of the highlights was a stop at a nice local bar and restaurant, where we had the opportunity to sample some beer and a traditional local snack. It was a pleasant way to experience a bit of the local culture. My wife and I are both seniors, and we especially appreciated Victor's thoughtful pacing of the tour. He incorporated sit-down breaks along the way, making the experience comfortable and enjoyable without feeling rushed. Victor is both personable and extremely knowledgeable, and we enjoyed his insights throughout the tour. The only hiccup involved scheduling. The GoWithGuide website allowed us to book a date that conflicted with Victor's personal schedule. Fortunately, we were able to work directly with Victor to resolve the issue without any further problems.

“Paloma is a STAR! A true Spanish Gem”
We found Paloma last minute, she was flexible, greeted us with small bag of Spanish chocolate and we were immediately on our way to tour the beautiful city. She always checked in to ensure our questions were answered and to see if we wanted to in any other direction. Paloma knew everything there was to know about history, royalty, city development and more! This was a worthy add on to our trip to Madrid.

“Great Tour at the Prado Museum”
We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Enrique. He met us at our hotel and during the walk to the museum we talked about history and the current protests happening in Madrid. At the museum we focused on many artworks and learned about the artists and how technique evolved over the years. He pointed out things to look for in the art and opened our eyes to what was being portrayed. It is clear that Enrique is passionate about art history. What we learned will enhance our next museum visits. After spending 3 hours with Enrique we were able to stay at the museum and explore at our leisure. Highly recommend this Prado tour.

Private Tours in Madrid
Take on the city of Madrid with a local tour guide and gain insights into forgotten history, residential favorites and off the beaten path attractions.
Picture strolling through the bustling Mercado de San Miguel, tasting tapas recommended by your guide, and learning about their origins, from patatas bravas to jamon iberico. Later, venture into the charming neighborhoods of La Latina and Malasaña, where your guide introduces you to hidden gems, quaint cafés and boutique shops. This curated approach ensures you enjoy the best of Madrid with ease and comfort.
A private guide also maximizes your time, allowing you to see and do more without the hassle of extensive planning. Instead of spending hours researching and organizing, your guide crafts an efficient itinerary that covers both popular attractions and lesser-known sites. So after a morning exploring the iconic Plaza Mayor, you could find yourself in the peaceful El Retiro Park, perhaps even discovering the Crystal Palace. It’s all up to you.
