REVIEWS FREE TOUR MADRID – OLD CITY

On our first day in Madrid, we chanced upon an English speaking walking tour of Madrid about to set off. We were welcomed to join by Mel, our guide, who spent the next 3 hours introducing us to some history, interesting stories and fun facts about Madrid. Entertaining and informative, I recommend Vive Madrid Tours to anyone visiting Madrid.
Warm welcome to Madrid
