Reviews of our Madrid history tour

Gerardo was knowledgeable and informative, mixing local legends with factual Information. Our group had kids and adults. He took his time answering questions and tailored the Madrid history tour to the groups' interests. One of the best tours I’ve ever taken because it was not only listening, but also spray painting. Would highly recommend it!

Gerzu is a true expert in Spanish history. He also knows Madrid well and had myriad anecdotes about all the various hot spots in town (Plaza Mayor, several churches, convents, etc.) His suggestions for tapas were spot on. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. My expectations for this walking tour were tempered by previous experiences, but Gerardo’s tour was fantastic!

It was great experiencing Madrid through the lens of a history lover. Although we started at Plaza Mayor, not in Puerta del Sol as booked, I appreciated being shown the touristy landmarks in a different way. It was interesting to hear the Royal Family stories, and the political situation in the country. Also loved the stencil graffiti we did, specially my 15 years old daughter. I was a little bit hesitant about a walking tour because of how hot it was, but we had a consistently nice breeze and were in the shade for a good portion of the tour. Overall, we had a great experience!
