I had an afternoon free before my wife joined me in Madrid, so I booked the Majestic Madrid Walking Tour. I arrived at the starting location 30 minutes early, enjoyed a casual stroll around the plaza, did some people watching, and enjoyed an ice cream. When it came time for the tour to begin, I looked for the guide wearing a red shirt and carrying a red umbrella. They were no where to be found. The plaza is large, so I began walking around searching for the tour guide. Still no luck. After 10 minutes of searching, I did what no man ever does; I asked for directions. It was only then that I realized that I was in Puerto del Sol, and the tour starting point was in Plaza Mayor. Duh! I quickly made my way to Plaza Mayor, but by the time I got there, the tour had already departed. I can't fault the guide for not waiting for me, as it wouldn't have been fair to the other guests. I actually rated this tour with 5 stars because the tour left on time, something that doesn't happen often in Spain. Helpful tip: Make sure you are at the right Plaza for your tour!
