We had a great tour of Madrid with Maria. She has an excellent knowledge of the history and culture of Madrid, and the tour was a great orientation to a city we had not visited in several years. She was so accommodating to our group, and we enjoyed our time with her. I would highly recommend this tour and Maria as a guide!

Paid for a private tour but the tour was not private. Be careful

I paid for a private tour but it was not private. There were two other people there. Majo the guide told me that Viator should have informed me that this was going to be a group tour and that she has lots of problems due to Viator. When I contacted the tour operator the response I received is that the company runs only private tours and that they will investigate. They are now silent. I am asking for partial refund. Having said all of this the tour is good. It is actually about hidden gems. But why pay for a private if the tour is not private? This is not serious.

This was our first trip to Madrid and we wanted to get a lay of the land. Our guide took us, not only to many of the neighborhoods, but while in each, we were given a history and so many amazing stories. At first, I thought this was going to be another-- see a church tour, but it was so enveloping, that I had to take notes on my phone as I took pictures. We toured a crypt. We saw the original city. We toured the neighborhoods. We saw Hemingway's table. We bought cookies from nuns we could not see. (don't buy the cookies). We saw the first terrorist attack spot. I could go on and on. We walked and walked but it was flat and easy. I would recommend this tour for anyone who wants to hear the history of this city and also see the various neighborhoods. A great guide who spent time with us and answered all of our questions.

A Wonderful Introduction to Madrid

We did Majo's walking tour on our first day there, which turned out to be a wonderful introduction to Madrid. The experience left us with a deeper appreciation and understanding of the history, culture, and gastronomy of Madrid. We found the tour to be excellent value for money and time well spent. This tour was made even more enjoyable by her enthusiastic storytelling. We never wanted it to end. She also gave us detailed recommendations on the best places to visit, eat and relax. We highly recommend Majo's walking tour of Madrid.

Maria was really knowledgeable, helpful and spoke perfect English. The tour included a great mix of historical setting, anecdotes and hidden gems. We had a well timed stop for a coffee at the Miguel market. Maria was very kind to recommend several restaurants and shops. I wish we had asked Maria to guide us around the Prado too. It would have really added to our trip.
Fantastic!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
