Add this tour to the top of your itinerary!!!! - I recently had the privilege of joining the Tio Tours Medieval Walking Tour and the best word to describe it is, WOW!!!!!! Our group was small and intimate- just a married couple from North America and myself. Nic fostered a fun learning environment for us all with his enthusiastic and friendly personality while sharing his wealth of knowledge. His passion for this city is evident and absolutely contagious. Highly informative details were provided throughout the tour in a well prepared and organized manner. This tour is not one of those dull and boring tours where the guide spits facts dryly at you while you are half listening- this is an active and engaging learning experience in which he incorporates using props, visual aids, and polling to help us learn better… a true teacher at heart! Nic is also thoughtful and considerate of others needs and sensitivities, cautioning us before showing any graphic pictures. I could not have asked for a better introduction to Madrid and consider this a MUST attend activity for anyone visiting the city!!!! Wishing you all have as wonderful of a time and experience with Tio Tours as I did!

BEST TOUR GUIDE EVER!!!! - This was the most FUN tour I have ever gone on. Nick was super informative, hilarious and kept the tour engaging. There was never a dull moment! You can tell he loves what he does and enjoys sharing the history and culture of Madrid with others. At the end of the tour, we grabbed a pint of beer together and felt like we had made a local friend. Couldn’t recommend Tío Tours enough!!!

Amazing tour, with an amazing guide ! - I saw Nic was a fellow Australian so I selected his tour for my stay in Madrid. He did not disappoint. Funny, informative and energetic, the tour made my first day in Madrid superb. Nic is a super tour guide with very good knowledge of the city, and is a very charismatic person. Highly recommend. My tour was a week ago now but I'm still looking back on it! It is also a very good to way see the main parts of the city while learning a lot about its history, without a guide this information gets lost on you.

A Unique Tour! - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip to Spain! Nick was very knowledgeable about the area and is very interactive. He involved the group in stories, trivia, and little surprises along the way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to explore, learn, and laugh all at the same time. It’s a must-do!
