The time really flew by!

Published on Dec, 2024

Strolling the streets of with Ari felt like meeting a friend for a few hours to learn about the city. The food was a bonus! I thoroughly enjoyed our tour and the way Ari answered my questions. She was funny, knowledgeable, intentional and just an all-around great tour guide. Thank you for making my time in Madrid so memorable!

Great introduction to the city

Published on Nov, 2024

Beatriz showed us around Madrid. She showed us the most important buildings, she gave us an insight of the history of the city and gave some tips for drinks and food. Exactly what we where looking for in a kickstarter tour. Thank you, Beatriz!

Great start to our visit in Madrid

Published on Nov, 2024

We did the Kick Start tour of Madrid the first day we arrived. Great way to get a lay of the land. 90 minutes was perfect. Our guide Ariadna was wonderful. Energetic with an exuberant love of the city she has grown up in. We went by the major sights in the city center. She shared a wonderful street that is frequented by locals, which we ended up loving for dinner, or just stopping in for wine and tapas. Booking was easy and there was great communication prior to our tour. Ariadna also sent names of favorite restaurants and places to see after our tour was over. I highly recommend this tour and especially Ariadna!

Majo is terrific

Published on Oct, 2024

Majo was very flexible in tailoring the tour to my needs. She helped me get comfortable in my new neighborhood, took me to local shops and to Retiro Park. She really went above & beyond to make sure that I got what I wanted out of the tour. And afterward, she followed up with links to places we had discussed. I plan to use her again to tour a museum

Great experience

Published on Oct, 2024

Private one on one tour, fabulous ! Our guide was very informative and was able to answer any and all questions. We were me at the opera house and we started our tour. Wish we did this on day one instead of day two
