“Incredible tour !!”
What a great tour ! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and built this tour himself— so you will learn histories and see monuments you wouldn’t otherwise on a standard tour. If you enjoy history and learning about where you are, this is the perfect tour for you.

“A unique Madrid tour”
Marik's tour was highly engaging, informative and fun. His tour is intentionally different to the standard tourist offerings, meaning you get an authentic taste of the true Madrid rather than following the crowds. Having done both types I would highly recommend taking his tour for a very enjoyable 2.5 hours.
