Lexi’s Walking Tour was such a fantastic experience — interesting, full of fascinating information, and also so much fun. Lexi is an amazing storyteller who brings the city to life with her passion and energy. She shared not just the history and culture of Madrid, but also great local insights and tons of recommendations for restaurants, bars, and hidden gems I never would have found on my own. It was the perfect thing to do at the beginning of my trip because it helped me see Madrid with new eyes and a deeper perspective. By the end of the tour, I felt like I understood the city so much better — and had a list of great places to explore afterward. Highly recommend!

The best tour we have ever had: informative in a fun and passionate way. Lexi is an incredible storyteller: you will travel in time and will be transferred from one era to another in no time at all. You will have tears in your eyes and a knot in your chest, you will laugh and learn and will be amazed by the incredulous history of this amazing city. Lexi will show you the hidden gems and tell you the stories that are memorable and moving. If you landed here, go no further - you will thank yourself later for taking this absolutely fantastic worth every tour with Lexi.

The best walking tour! Lexi is so passionate about sharing the history of Madrid. Her deep knowledge is transferred to the group via her engaging and funny story telling. The tales weave through the first stop to the last and you get a sense (or about as much as you can get in 3 hours) of how Madrid came to be. She also shared a link afterwards that had her suggested places to eat, drink, and visit in Madrid (via a very useful Google maps format) as well as maps for a few other popular cities in Spain. Do this tour at the start of your trip to get your bearings and help plan out the time afterwards. The photo shows her favourite building in all of Madrid - a rather non-descript building but you’ll have to take the tour to find out why it’s her best! Highly recommend Lexi!

We did the walking tour with Lexi on Friday. It was the perfect start to our weekend break. Lexi really brought the history of Madrid to life and gave us so much more than expected. Highly recommended - not only that the tapas tips were spot on as well as coffee places near our hotel. And the tip to go to Toledo - it was one of my favourite places yet and so worth it! Thanks so much Lexi!

Lexi … what can I say to praise you high enough. You are a mine of information that you definitely don’t get from guide books or history teachers. You brought Madrid alive for me, it was fun and amusing too especially the statue of the noisy neighbour 😂 . It wasn’t a walking tour it was a mobile , humanly interactive stroll through the history of Madrid . Add bonus for me you come from just down the motorway from where I live. The world just got a great deal smaller. Continue as you are and your business enterprise will go from strength to strength. Following your tour I was eager to see the sight within the Palacio Real de Madrid . Thank you. Angela ( Chorley Lancashire ).
