There's no service in Madrid for cell phones so NO Audio! NO Nothing...Nobody could help or knew anything about it....What a Total RIP OFF!!!!!!

First, let me say that the author and the people interviewed were entertaining and informative. The street of Madrid is a busy, dangerous, well used street by trucks and cars flying by. There are no sidewalks and parts of this tour could be dangerous without using a car and pulling over. Cute town where Wild Hogs was taped. Note: nearest gas station is 8 miles away.

We enjoyed wandering through the picturesque little town. We had some trouble coordinating the narrative with the locations; if we had followed directions and loaded the program onto both our devices, and used earphones with both, it probably would have worked better.
