Reviews of our Free Walking Tours Madrid

After several years without going to the Prado, I let myself be tempted by this tour and came away enchanted. Mathilde gave us a high-quality tour, both in terms of the choice of works and the explanation of the historical and artistic context of the periods. I highly recommend because it allows you to be guided for two hours and enjoy the Prado and its works!

We took Madrid's free tour of mysteries, myths, Inquisition and dark legends and it was amazing. Our guide explained everything to us into deep and enjoyed it a lot. I really recommend this tour to get to know this beautiful and mysterious city!

This is my first time to have a walking tour in any part of the World. I enjoyed it very much with Mel who was a great host. He is very friendly and nice person and explained to us so many details in the 2:30 hrs of the tour. We could have passed by the places he showed us, but knowing its history is really different and enjoyable.

Fantastic Majestic Madrid walking tour with our Guide! Full of knowledge, stories and spectacular sights. Would fully recommend. Only wished that I could have joined the morning tour if I had enough time! She showed to us everything important and explain a lot of other things even some nice tips!

This tour was really great and the tour guides all seem to be young, energetic, and filled with interesting knowledge about the city. Our guide was all of the above! We had a small group from US and UK so Javi did our tour in English. I really enjoyed the afternoon of sightseeing and fun facts and highly recommend this tour while in Madrid!

I loved this tour of the Prado with Mathilde, it was really captivating, you learn not only about historical events and their impact on art and vice versa, but also thrilling anecdotes. She manages to create a connection and a transition between each work that gives enormous meaning to the visit itself and also to the order in which it is made. It's an immersion in art history with a very competent, captivating and sympathetic guide. I had a great time and I recommend it without hesitation!

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.

“I recommend this Tour for several reasons: the guide was already great, funny, experienced, concerned, mastered the language very well, etc. ; but also because for those who love history, the visit was really interesting, there was a real clear chronology in everything we saw. Thank you for this really nice activity, it was a pleasure.”

An interesting night tour to discover several legends about Madrid that are based on real events. Very good night plan, due to the darkt atmosphere and the good explanations from the guide, which explains it greatly. We learned a lot about the Spanish Inquisition

I did the Sinister Madrid tour (in which they talk about the Inquisition, stories and legends of the city) and I found it very interesting, especially seeing the locations where executions, murders, etc. were committed. An unforgettable experience!

Ignasio was a great tour guide. He was a plethora of historical information about Madrid! Knowledgeable and animated, he made the time fly by! We were lucky enough to have great weather and a small group which made it more personal and easier to walk in the shade! : )

We had an amazing tour in the old town of Madrid with Ignacio. He gave us al lot of information in an informal and relaxed way. Madrid no longer has secrets for us now.

Our guide, was absolutely great! He was very knowledgeable, fun and answered all our questions. We saw places we would not have seen otherwise and discovered throughout the tour all sorts of interesting things about Madrid and its people. It was also a good way to meet with other travellers from around the world. We would wholeheartedly recommend going on a tour with Vive Madrid Tours!

We took part in a wonderful stroll around Madrid's city centre with Ignacio yesterday morning. We had already walked around the town with our tour guide previously BUT Ignacio had so much information to share in a fun manner and he made the history come alive for us. Fantastic tour would highly recommend this group.

We did this tour with our guide, she knows so much about the city, a lot of stories and history! Her english is really good! She made our stay in Madrid really worth it! She showed to us everything important and explain a lot of other things even some nice tips! We did another tour with a diferent company, but this one was the best!!

Maya

We strongly recommend the two tours, which provide an I excellent basis if you want to discover the city of Madrid, its history and the local culture. Ignacio is a knowledgeable guide with great entertainment skills, and sincerely cares about the participants. We definitively appreciated and enjoyed it, and value the entrepreneurial spirit of the Leaf team. Do not hesitate to try and support the company!
