What to do and see in Madrid, Community of Madrid: The Best Sightseeing Tours
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

We had an outstanding tour with Zoran, who owns the company. The prior day we had taken a self guided tour of part of the historic old section of Madrid so Zoran took us to parts of Madrid we had not seen but are really glad to have visited. He has a lot of knowledge of the city, a great personality and a willingness to be flexible with his guests to adapt to their interests. The tuk tuk nimbly maneuvers the busy Madrid streets for a very enjoyable orientation tour.

A route through the most popular history of Madrid: its taverns. Bars with more than 100 and 200 years of age, which are the living history of the city. Some have seen the kings eat and drink there, writers and others of the lower classes also. Between us, we will discover some of the most rooted traditions of our city. The anecdotes, the way of life of the people and the innumerable things that their walls have seen. Of course, we can stop to try a wine or beer of some of them! With the oldest restaurant in the world and an unequalled tradition in the world of bars, without doubt, Madrid is a city that you must get to know from the point of view of its illustrious taverns and restaurants. *The route may vary depending on the starting time and other circumstances and you will not always enter all the venues. Although the structure of the tour is always the same, we recommend choosing 11.00 as the starting time.

Jaime is GREAT! He went through the masterpieces of the Prado Museum with us one-by-one in the 3 hour tour through the history, and ended with the Goya collection. The collections are wonderful, and Jaime especially helped bring out the historical development of artists, the civil war, and from Van Der Weyden all the way to the 19th century. Jaime knows them all. If you have one place to go, do this 3 hour tour of Prado Museum with Jaime, your body will be tired all throughout, and mind and spirit all filled to the top.

We had an amazing free walking tour today in Madrid with a guy called Gibson. He was super friendly, funny, and fluent in Spanish and English. We heard all about the city's history, the people who lived here, and the Spanish culture. In addition he gave us some tips for good restaurants/bars and other sightseeings. I would highly recommend a tour with Gibson to everyone who wants to laugh about Spanish royals anecdotes, be amazed by his comprehensive historical knowledge, and fell in love with this beautiful city. Enjoy.

We have always loved eating empanadas in Spain, especially those in Galicia, so it was thrilling to learn how to make them under the skilled instruction of Arantxa. She showed us exactly how to make an empanada, from the dough to the filling, while also discussing the interesting history of this classic Spanish food. A week later, I made my first empanada at home according to Arantxa's recipe. It was delicious and I can't wait to make another. It is going to become part of my regular rotation, as there is so much variety of what you can stuff the dough with. I recommend any cooking class with Arantxa. Even on Zoom, which is not easy, she was a very engaging teacher.
