    My day with Joanna was relaxed, insightful and creative.

    Joanna spent so much time creating an individualized experience for me that included the history of Madrid, the best of art museums, shopping and tastings of tapas and wine. I learned a ton and had an adventure that was so rewarding in a city I didn’t know. Do this if you want to spoil yourself and your loved ones. No tour buses needed!

    Ultimately the tour was not very well customized to our areas of interest... we saw very little urban art (saw lots of graffiti) and in terms of ‘off the beaten path’ shopping, we really only saw a neighborhood flea market with as many resellers as artisans

    Fabulous

    Beautiful experience, our "Friend" also spoke Italian, although the booking was only in English and Spanish. 4 pleasant hours with corners of Madrid not frequented by the tourist mass.
