Cultural Free Walking Tours in Madrid

Marik was great. He gave us a lot of information about the history of Madrid, passing through some interesting places. His stories were well connected with the main theme of the tour and I learned a lot more things than I expected. His tone of voice and pace are excellent and I truly enjoyed the whole experience

Marik y este tour son una grata sorpresa! Lo seleccioné porque el itinerario era diferente a todos los demás tour ofertados y me encantó. Pasamos por los lugares básicos pero también nos llevó a lugares poco visitados, que nos dió una vista completa de la ciudad.

Marik is a natural born guide with the training, knowledge and passion necessary to make this tour a 6 star tour (out of 5). Perfectly designed and balanced tour. Accurate and relevant historical data with entertaining and well researched storytelling. Congratulations Marik, thanks for enriching our visit to Madrid!

Very interesting tour. I am 62 and my daughter 26 and we both thought the tour was great.Marik very informative

Very helpful and entertaining, informative and interesting guide.

My wife and I agreed that Marik was one of the best tour-guides we've ever had. He was extremely knowledgable, friendly, and fun. And he had obviously put a lot of thought and passion into crafting a tour and route that maximized our information and entertainment. We didn't have great weather at all, but it didn't matter. We covered a lot of ground without seeming rushed or exhausted, and we learned a lot while being entertained. Marik is an excellent teacher and story-teller and host.

Marik was amazing! You can see how passionate and interested he is in the history and the details of everything he tells you about Madrid.

Marik´s tour was excellent! So much interesting information explaining the context of Madrids start until modern Madrid. Marik is highly knowledgeable and shows great enthusiasm in guiding visitors around Madrid. I was on several tours during my 3 day trip to Madrid, and this tour was by far the best one! Highly recommended to go on tour with Marik.

Marik was fabulous. Very interesting and fun. I loved our local stop for a shot in the neighborhood. He was very knowledgeable and held everyone’s interest. We covered a lot of ground to wonderful places and like no other tour, he gave us a personal story about someone, or something interesting at every stop. He was very personal, professional and SMART. We do these tours everywhere and he was one of the best. Thanks for the Bee Bar tip on the way home. Great atmosphere and cool place foe a drink. Good luck to you Marik.

The best free tour, I have ever done. Well researched and well explained insides about Madrid put into the wider context of the history of Spain. Nice stories about the citizens of Madrid and a great route. Not a standard tour, Marik created it himself and you notice his passion for history and the aim to show people his city. Book this tour!

perfectoooo

Marik was a story teller, historian, and culture aficionado all rolled into one. The historical tour held our interest for 2.5 hours. He wove history, little known facts and a special taste of madrono into a fabulous experience. I highly recommend him.

Finally a comprehensive Spanish history! The tour guide was very knowledgeable in multiple languages and ensures everyone is on the same page, whether its linguistic or cultural understandings. One of the most knowledgeable I've ever had!

If you are someone who loves and appreciates history and want to learn more on Madrid from a broader Iberian peninsula perspective, you’ll be surprised with this amazing tour.

Entertaining and interesting stories!

Marik gave us a unique view of Madrid's history, past and present. He is a very easy-going guy and very knowledgeable of the history. I highly recommend this tour to everyone!

Mario wrote this tour himself, and it was perfect for anyone interested in the history of Madrid beyong the Bourbons and Hapsburgs. He went as far back as 711, explaining the history, art, and architectural styles along the way. I appreciated seeing portions of the city wall that would not have been included on other tours. His stories and anecdotes were perfect for the area. Highly recommend!

Marik was a great tour guide! He was super kind and informative and gave the group a bunch of tips and tricks for Madrid. He is very passionate about the city he lives it and sharing it with others. He was also super helpful with providing other recommendations on things to do, places to eat and see, and other tours. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone looking to see a different side of Madrid and hear about history at the same time.

Marik was excellent, knowledgeable & engaging

We thoroughly enjoyed our walk with Marik. He obviously has a real passion for history & storytelling and we learned so much about Madrid’s history. Also, his post walk recommendations were excellent. Thanks again Marik!

Wow!!! This was an extraordinary tour! The amount of information was interesting and priceless. Walked through many neighborhoods and our knowledgeable guide provided information dealing with the historic and cultural aspects of Spain as a nation.

Loved our tour with Marik. Madrid has been unforgettable and Marik's tour was well worth prioritising while here :)

Our guide, Marik, took us to many special places in Madrid. I learned a lot in three hours that I couldn’t imagine getting so much during our short trip. I highly recommend this tour! You won’t regret it,

Marik was a very knowledgeable and interesting guide. He made the city and history come alive.

Highly recommend!
