Nous avons eu Ignacio, en guide, il est vraiment gentil et drôle et nous explique très bien l'histoire de Madrid. C'était très intéressant car j'adore faire découvrir à mes enfants les capitales et leurs histoires. Nous avons adoré les anecdotes qu'il nous a racontées. Je recommande leur groupe viva Madrid!

Vivement recommandable. Un tour à travers l'histoire de la ville en explorant le centre historique de Madrid. De nombreuses anecdotes sont apportées par l'excellent guide qui en plus d'être un habitant passionné de la ville est une personne de confiance fort sympathique et parle FRANÇAIS. Il est aussi disponible et donne de bonnes adresses. La visite n'est certes pas payante en apparence, mais une participation d'au moins 4€ par personne est fortement recommandée. Un incontournable.

Highly recommended. A tour through the city's history exploring the historic center of Madrid. Many anecdotes are provided by the excellent guide who in addition to being a passionate resident of the city is a very friendly, trustworthy person and speaks FRENCH. He is also available and gives good addresses. There is certainly no charge for the visit apparently, but a contribution of at least €4 per person is strongly recommended. A must-have.

Nice tour to orient yourself with Madrid. Big plus: showing a map outlining the walking tour. Helps when you are new to a city and want to find a neighborhood/ restaurant/ shopping street later. Recommendation to guide: You speak at times too fast. It sounded like you are reading a script which is not true and you are genuinely knowledgeable. People come from different countries & may not understand the accent. I recommend practice public speaking & hope you take it in positive way.

Mel met us and took on the most amazing tour of Madrid. He was engaging, entertaining, knowledgeable, friendly and funny. He had a vast knowledge of Madrid. It’s history and it’s peoples.. He had many amusing anecdotes and kept our diverse audience group captivated throughout throughout the almost 3 hour walking tour. The fact that this was advertised as a free tour, certainly got us hooked on taking it, and hopefully he was amply rewarded for his wonderful efforts. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this!!!

I learned SO much history and about Madrid (and Spain). Our guide - Ignacio - was incredibly knowledgeable, beyond his young age it seemed! I really liked his multi-language style, and even his small bit acting parts. Brought realism to the experience! Thank you

Great fun especially as we stopped after 1,5hrs and managed to squeeze a beer and tapas in. Our guide was very knowledgeable but spoke fast however happily repeated himself when asked. Our English tour ended up being a mixture of English and Spanish which added flavour.

Ainhoa, our tour guide, was friendly and very knowledgeable. The tour was fun to do. Although a lot of tours were happening simultaneously, Ainhoa kept our group together, her voice was easy to hear, and she was great a answering questions we asked her. It was a wonderful experience.

Premièrement, j’ai vraiment apprécié pouvoir suivre un tour guidé en français. Matilde nous a fourni des informations historiques sur l’Espagne et sur Madrid intéressantes et précises sur un ton dynamique. Son discours, aidé du micro, nous permettait de bien suivre celui-ci.

Firstly, I really appreciated being able to follow a guided tour in French. Matilde provided us with interesting and accurate historical information about Spain and Madrid in a dynamic tone. His speech, aided by the microphone, allowed us to follow it well. Opinion translated. Show original.

I don’t know the name anymore from our female guide from origine from Valladoid but she was fantastic. Would love to have her again as guide. She did a fantastic job. I like the system to give a free tip and we have her 15 € a person and she was more then worth the money! Bravo!!!

We had a walking tour of Madrid. Our guide was excellent. Her English was excellent. She was knowledgeable and kind and kept a great pace. We wound up tipping her as much as we would have paid any other guide as she was even better than some of the more expensive guided tours.

I loved the tour and I am so grateful that I had my tour with Civitatis! Ainhoa was the absolute most amazing guide I have ever seen in my life! I think all guides should do what she's doing. I am very happy with the experience I had and I wholeheartedly recommend it so everyone!

This is a great walking tour, showing some of the very interesting points in Madrid. It is not too fast and you do get a chance to take photos. Our guide was very knowledgeable and portrayed her knowledge to us. I do recommend this free tour. We gave a tip at the end.
