Senor Javier Sadon Alhambra picked us up at our hotel on time and, as agreed, led us a good 3 hours on foot through historic Madrid. He brought the story closer to us in a very interesting and competent manner. Provided us with countless valuable tips about museums, bars, restaurants, curiosities, etc. It was a great, exciting and instructive tour that we can warmly recommend to everyone!

It was a great chance to try both foods and drinks that are favorites in Madrid. Wines and Vermouth. The Gildas and the shrimp were our favorites. Chocolate and churros were a great way to end the night. Our guide was very good!

Great way to experience this beautiful city in a short time and learn about its history and culture. We loved it. Highly recommend.
