Guide was very knowledgeable and pleasant to listen too! Just the right amount of time. Good amount of walking and time to take photos.

We are a family of 4. Two adult children and mom and dad. The tour guide spoke very slowly, and his English was challenging to understand. We’ve had several free tours throughout Europe now, and this is the only one we really did not enjoy much.

Kevin was a very nice guide. He explained everything about a lot of places. Sure we took a lot of photos.

We have done a private tour of the Madrid Monumental, 9 members of the same family and we loved it. A very good time. We have learned many curiosities about our city. The guide, Aída, a very very good professional. I recommend!

A genius Francisco! He explained very clearly, his explanations helped us better appreciate the city. It made him very cool despite the cold! I recommend it!

Good free walking mini tour, we were a small group, there was an older adult so anyone can do it. Being a short tour, there is no time to take photos, and at that time it is full of the same tours, but they are all nearby places, so I recommend going through the same places again and looking for better angles for photos. Good guide, he spoke very clearly and had a small speaker so you could hear it well, ideal to leave a tip.

Juan was an excellent guide. The explanations of the visit to El Escorial were super entertaining and interesting. He knew how to guide our group, which was quite heterogeneous, wonderfully. We will keep the visit in our memories thanks to their great work. The 2 hours flew by. Super recommended. Thanks Juan! A great professional!
