    Excellent tour of the Old Town, plazas, and the Royal Palace! Fernando was very knowledgeable and gave us the exact information we needed based on our interests. Thank you Fernando!

  • James (Jim) N.5 out of 5Sep 2024

    I can’t imagine visiting the Royal Palace with anyone else. Fernando provided not only the history of the palace but also entertaining stories about every room we visited - details about the decoration and the royals who lived there. He enjoys what he does and it shows. An amazing afternoon with an engaging tour guide.

    Fernando was an excellent guide. It was like seeing Madrid with an old very knowledgeable friend. He made all of the attractions come to life, and we would recommend Fernando to anyone who wants a private tour of Madrid.
