Merick was a fantastic guide he knew so much about Madrid, its history, places to see and where to eat in order to avoid those terrible “tourist” meals. We felt a lot more confident about finding our way around the city after the tour. Highly recommend this tour

Merrick was extremely attentive and informative throughout our tour. We were able to visit some of the biggest landmarks, buildings, and monuments located on the western side of the city and learn tons of Spanish and history along the way. Unlike other walking tours I have taken, Merrick included the royal cathedral as a stop on the tour and allowed us attendees to proceed inside for 15-20 minutes without him. It was a great interlude to the middle of the tour and allowed us attendees to see the inside of a National landmark, use the restroom, and have a rest. I also enjoyed how he included a stop at a traditional restaurant and introduced us to a traditional madrileño drink called “‘madroño” that we were then able to have a shot or “chupito” of if we desired. It was a nice, interactive and gastronomic touch to the already intriguing tour.
