Super visite avec une Mathilde fort sympathique, très agréable et très intéressante. Nous avions peur que 2h30 soit très long et en fait c'est passé très vite. Nous retournons en visite dans 2 jours avec Mathilde pour l'autre partie de la ville. Je recommande à 100 % Translate this opinion into English.

Great visit with a very friendly, very pleasant and very interesting Mathilde. We were afraid that 2.5 hours would be very long and in fact it went by very quickly. We are returning to visit in 2 days with Mathilde for the other part of the city. I recommend 100% Opinion translated. Show original.

Nous connaissons maintenant pleins de traditions madriliennes sans compter ses bonnes adresses. Bravo à toi inatio ! Translate this opinion into English.

Our inatio guide was perfect. We appreciated his description of Madrid, the advice of a local and his sympathy. He kept us for more than 2 hours but we didn't see the time passing. We now know lots of Madrid traditions, not to mention its good addresses. Bravo to you inatio! Opinion translated. Show original.

Wonderful walking tour with Mathilde which brought the history of the old town to life. She was very knowledgeable and the tour was well paced and interesting. The tour was in English only and we liked that, as we learned more and didn’t have to wait during another language.

Ce fut une visite très agréable. Apprendre et découvrir l'histoire de Madrid tout en prenant le temps de se balader dans les ruelles, de place en place, est une excellente mise en bouche pour comprendre la racine même de cette ville. Je recommande les yeux fermés.

Belle découverte. Ou comment l’histoire a façonné Madrid. Notre guide Mathilde communique sa passion pour l’histoire, l’histoire de l’art et de l’architecture tout en n’oubliant pas de donner un bon plan de temps en temps. Très belle expérience, je recommande.

This is my first time with Free Walking Tours, and I was very impressed! Christina showed us lots of fun details, as well as the usual main sites, with enough background information to make them quite interesting. She had a great personality and her love for Madrid showed through. I would definitely do this again.

C'était la première fois que nous faisions appel à un free tour. Nous n'avons pas été déçus. Le guide nous a fait découvrir des endroits que nous n'aurions pas vu tout seuls. Très enthousiaste, il nous a fait partagé son savoir, ses bonnes adresses, son humour. Ce n'est pas facile d'intéresser un groupe et là il a su le faire. Que demander de plus? Lors d'un prochain voyage, nous ferons de nouveau appel à CIVITATIS Translate this opinion into English.

This was the first time we used a free tour. We were not disappointed. The guide showed us places that we would not have seen on our own. Very enthusiastic, he shared his knowledge, his good addresses, his humor with us. It's not easy to interest a group and he knew how to do it. What more? During a future trip, we will use CIVITATIS again Opinion translated. Show original.

La visite a été très intéressante avec beaucoup d'anecdotes, de l'histoire. Nous avons découvert beaucoup de choses que nous n'aurions pas vu par nous même. Notre guide était très sympa mais il parlait très voir trop vite. Pas facile à suivre du fait de son accent même s'il parlait très bien français du fait des nombreuses informations données. Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was very interesting with lots of anecdotes and history. We discovered many things that we would not have seen on our own. Our guide was very nice but he spoke too quickly. Not easy to follow because of his accent even though he spoke French very well because of the lot of information given. Opinion translated. Show original.

Oh my goodness - this trip had us on five free Civitatis tours. The Madrid one was by far the best. I'm pretty sure the gal we had was Matilde. She was so informative - I felt I had a great review of the wonderful city of Madrid. Thank you for such a highlight!

The tour was excellent and our guide, Cristina, was brilliant. We learned so much about the fascinating history of Spain which was presented in an interesting way. Cristina told lots of anecdotes about all the places she showed us and clearly knows her stuff! I would highly recommend this tour and Cristina in particular.

Christina gave one of the best tours we have been on, Paid or free! Can’t say enough good. So knowledgeable, so interesting. We travel quite a lot from US—except during Covid of course. We are retired at 78 & 79 years old. Love to travel and Tina did stellar job. Almost didn’t do this because you get what you pay for. That would have been a huge mistake.
