5 Stars!
I just returned from a trip to Spain with 4 friends. We had the pleasure of touring with Sylvia and I can't say enough good things about her! We first connected in Valencia and she was able to tailor our tour based on the requests from the group. It was the perfect way to get the lay of the land so we could explore further on our own. She was also able to book us for a private olive oil tasting and gave great recommendations on where to eat after.
We had such a good experience with her, that we decided to meet up with her again in Madrid- it was like re-connecting with an old friend! She spent so much time with us, helped get dinner reservations on a busy holiday night, introduced us to her adorable daughter, etc I would highly recommend her!
Muchas gracias Sylvia! What a great experience!

I repeat with Silvia as a guide! This time the visit to the Palacio de Correos in Madrid to see the Monet exhibition. Wow! I am transported to those landscapes that Monet painted and to perceive the time of day when he painted it, what a good explanation and how much sensitivity to show every detail. I will keep repeating!

Silvia was an amazing tour guide and companion. As a first time visitor to Madrid, I wanted to get a sense of the city - not just the highlights of a “top 10” list. Silvia orchestrated two perfect days in Madrid and a day in Barcelona, interspersing important sights with history and context, and finding the right points and places to pause for tapas, a cana con Limon, or any of number of tasty treats. I’ve already referred friends planning a trip in December and can’t wait for my own next visit to Spain!

If I could give 6 stars I would. I am a repeat client and will work with Sylvia whenever I visit Spain. She does an incredible job of reading the group and taking you on a fun and memorable journey through the city (we have visited Madrid and Valencia). Her in depth knowledge equips her to answer all your questions and also be spontaneous - every day has felt tailored to our interests and exceeded all expectations. Thank you Sylvia!
Simply the BEST!

To say Silvia is the expert is the understatement of the year! She did an amazing job with our group of 50 travelers of all ages. Her personal suggestions during free time really made this trip even more special as we could experience local cuisine, bars and get aways. She knows her stuff and the detailed, insightful and fun facts she shared along the way made it engaging and interesting for even our mostly college age athletic group (with a very short attention span). Thank you, thank you, thank you, Silvia for an amazing experience. I am coming back next month and looking forward to another great tour!

I loved the way Silvia led the guided tour of the Monet exhibition. I have learned a lot about him, he has explained his painting and his style to us through his personality, his way of seeing life, and that is why I know that I will not forget him. Silvia transmits a lot of peace and enthusiasm with every word. I will repeat with her another time, she has a lot to teach me!

Silvia was amazing in enhancing our groups trip in Spain! Specifically, Silvia showed our group around Madrid and Barcelona and I learned so much about the Spanish culture, history and community. She is very passionate about teaching others about Spain and our trip would not have been as great without her.

I hired 6 guides for different groups of students who visited the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum. All of the A Friend In The City guides were excellent and the service received was of a very high quality. The previous communication with Silvia was fluid and everything was very well organized.

I was with a group of 27 players from an American team, and we were lucky to have Silvia as a private guide in both Madrid and Barcelona, we loved her way of telling the story, always with examples and details that people understood well, non-tourist places to eat and have some of the best tapas in Spain, and especially her energy and joy when giving information, also the round of questions was very wide, and Silvia managed to answer everything without any doubt, a spectacular job, highly recommended.
Very very happy and satisfied customer. Thank you very much Silvia if we return do not doubt that I will return to you.

Hola, Silvia.
We had a wonderful tour of Madrid on Friday. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and a great communicator, with the most charming British accent ever. Patty thought he was very attractive too!
Our only disappointment was that we didn’t have several more days to spend in Madrid with him.
Congratulations to you on assembling a wonderful team for us, especially with very little notice, and for making us feel so special.
Hasta la proxima vez…
Best,
SP
