Madrid is a city with infinite possibilities, it takes a lifetime to enjoy it, understand it and live it, but I will summarize it in 1 day and I will not leave anything apart! In addition to being and authentic local, I also have and History Degree that allows me to have even deeper knowledge of my home. The origins of Madrid date back to the Middle Ages, we will visit its narrow medieval streets full of legends, to continue visiting some of the most impressive monuments, basilicas and the busiest squares. But not only that, we'll also see some of the oldest shops, restaurants and markets in the city. Of course I keep many less known places and surprises for the tour day, that will make you fall in love with Madrid. For lunch we will stop to eat in some typical places to enjoy famous tapas! After lunch we'll continue with the tour walking near the Prado Museum: one of the most elegant areas of Madrid. Come and join me for a great experience
If you want a detailed tour with a wonderful person choose Jaime. He is not only deeply knowledgeable but he has a wonderful personality and sense of humor. I especially liked his perspective on architectural history. The best!
My husband and I did two tours with Jaime, the Prado tour and the Half day city tour. He was awesome at the Prado and we would not have learned as much or seen so many significant works without him. He is really an expert. Even if we asked about more random pieces he had something to say. He also worked hard to especially show us pieces we were interested in. The city tour was so enjoyable as we experienced both major sights and secret little known places we would never have found. We totally enjoyed our time and even had a great tapas meal with plenty of time to just talk and exchange ideas with a local. Jaime was prepared, informative, adaptable and fun. Everything you want in a terrific guide. Will recommend him to others.
Jaime is a very knowledgeable and enjoyable person. Highly recommend his tours!
Simply outstanding! Jaimie’s knowledge of both Madrid and its artists was inspiring. His “secrets” in the Prada made our tour both fascinating and memorable, and his warm personality made our walk around town magnificent. Add-in a wonderful non-touristy lunch of delicious tapas and the day was just perfect!
Jaime was one of the best guides we have ever had! Our stroll in the old town was a great introduction the the history of Madrid, with many beautiful sights along the way. We felt the commentary was just at the right level -- enough to appreciate what we were seeing but not so detailed that we lost focus. Jamie is a great storyteller and this brought the history to life. We stopped for a great afternoon snack at a local Tapas restaurant. We let Jaime order for us and everything was delicious! Fresh local flavors and not a touristy experience at all. His English is excellent and we had no difficulty understanding each other. He is very knowledgeable about art, architecture, history and how they all blend together. We were a bit jet-lagged so did not quite use the whole 6 hours, but we accomplished everything we intended to do. I highly recommend this tour.
We had a wonderful experience with Jaime Sanchez’s Walking Tour in Madrid. Jaime is a great guy, knowledgeable, personable, and a pleasure to spend time with. We took the tour our first day in Madrid. The tour is a great overview of the city sites. Jaime’ s choices were very comprehensive and his knowledge of the cities history, architecture, arts and culture are unequaled. The tour provided us with all the essential information we needed to plan and realize our stay in Madrid. We would highly recommend Jaime.
With this tour you will have the sensation of making the most of the time. -First thing I will do is present myself and the tour, to start enjoying it. I'm an expert in art and architecture, so you can ask me all you need. -I will show you some of the highlights of the city, we will begin with the impressive Royal Palace and the enormous Almudena Cathedral. -We will walk through narrow streets to the absolutely beautiful Church of San Miguel and we will pass through the Plaza Mayor, which is the heart of the Old Town. And the colorful Mercado de San Miguel. -We will stop in front of some of the oldest convents in the city, they are full of surprises and legends. -Go through the bustling Puerta del Sol Square and I will explain the elegant Puerta de Alcalá. . . and many other places and corners less known, I keep some surprises. If you travel with children do not worry, this tour is also for them, I have experience in how to keep their attention. The itinerary can be adapted to traveler's interests.
