I went on two tours while in Madrid with my family, and the Sandemans tour blew the other (and significantly more expensive tour) out of the water. I really appreciated how knowledgable and friendly the tour guide was (Erik was absolutely amazing), the places visited, information shared, and the pace of the tour in general. I would HIGHLY recommend this... More

Was very excited about booking the tapas tour via neweuropetours.eu – but it was bad from the start. First of all the tour guide was wearing someone else's name badge (!) – why was never explained. Secondly, the standard of tapas and the bars they took us to was atrocious – we had one vegetarian on the tour and the... More

We did the walking tour last week in Madrid. The guides were there early, and we waited ten minutes for any latecomers. The tour was comprehensive and interesting and our guide Ian was excellent, engaging, humorous and knowledgeable. The 3 hour walk also had a break for coffee, hot choc or a bite to eat and along the route there... More

We arranged to do the 4pm tour on sun 13th. we even booked although not necessary but thought it a courtesy to the organisers. We arrived at the meeting point at 3.30 & waited until 4.30 but no one showed up to take the tour. We took turns walking around the area to ensure we didn't miss the guide but... More

Dear sofia2, Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry your experience with SANDEMANs NEW Madrid Tours was so negative. There's obviously no excuse for what happened here and I will personally take the blame for this mistake. We were running our Free Tours at 11.00 am and 4.00 pm during the low season. As we started getting closer to high... More

Just did the 3 plus hour walking trip with guide Paula in English and thought it was great. For such a big city it is a great way to get an introduction and orientation to Madrid along with the history of the city. It is done at a nice pace so that you don't feel exhausted. Paula is very personable... More

We did the 1pm tour with Paula April 28th, 2012. It was great!! She knew her history and was very excited about sharing it with us. We walked at a reasonable pace and there was always time to take pictures (which I value in a tour). I learned a lot about the history of Madrid and the reasons behind some... More

We did a Madrid walking tour with Paula as our guide, and it was terrific. Right from the start she made the history of the city come alive for us. Her stories were interesting and humurous and she kept us engaged for the full time. We have done Sandemans Tours in other cities and they never disappoint. Thank you. More

We took the tour sunday, may 6th. Great stories and learned a lot of things about Madrid. Our guide (Erik) was excellent. Funny, enthousiastic and open. Maked sure everyone could understand him and checked with the group if he wasn't talking too fast. Also kept interaction with the group. Overall a great guide! Thanks Erik More
