We were lucky to be guided by Diego! He managed to keep the group 3 adults and 3 kids very interested in the history and the whereabouts of the the city. Because of his humor and sophisticated personality we walked around and did a very satisfactory sightseeing without getting tired or bored! Madrid is a really really nice town and you can walk around its historical centre very easily. Our guide was also very very helpful in suggesting upcoming neighbourhoods to walk to and very nice places to dine. We followed all of his suggestions and we had a great time. Overall, this tour is really worth it, especially with such a good guide such as Diego!
Diego was an amazing tour guide! I highly recommend Diego. Our time in Madrid would have been nothing like it was because of Diego. He is extremely knowledgeable, flexible, polite and attentive. Worth every dime and more. Diego went above and beyond required by him by making suggestions, and providing other tour guide recommendations for Barcelona and restaurant recommendations throughout Spain. When we return to Madrid, we will be sure to book Diego well in advance.
What can I saw about our tour and guide, Diego, that can do proper justice? The tour was highly informative, unique, entertaining, fast-paced and we covered a lot of ground. Diego himself was prompt, very friendly, great sense of humor, super knowledgeable and quite helpful. Can't recommend enough!
Best private tour in Madrid with Diego!! As it was our first time in town we decided to get a Private tour with Madrid and You to discover the main secrets of the city. Diego offered us 3 hours walking tour to get an introduction of the city which really were 3.5 hours. Diego was amazing, very friendly and an expert guideHe made wonderful commentary and even showed us historical photos on his Ipad. He recommended us the best restaurants in town and the best cocktail bars to have a drink in Madrid. He also showed us part of their habits and their way of living in Madrid. Our family really liked him. Diego is a great representative of Madrid and he was kindly available by mail for questions on recommendations during our stay in the city..Fully enjoyed our Private tour! Highly recommend !!!
