Xavi was very cooperative and coped with us because we were traveling with 1 Child and 1 baby! He shared his passion for the nature, all with smile and good humour 😊 He also suggested a restaurant which was mindblowing! Overall à great experience !!!

We enjoyed Learning about the various flora and fauna in the park. Javier was very knowledgeable about the rocks and ecosystem that exists in Guadarrama Park. We hiked around 5 km. I recommend eating lunch at Sampedro postería if you can not get a table at the restaurant recommend by Javier. 6th

I knew that when I went to Spain I wanted to get a chance to see some of the incredible natural areas in the country. I had seen Guadarrama National Park was close to Madrid and wanted to go, but I didn't know how I would easily see it without a vehicle. This tour was a great chance to see the National Park and learn more about the natural and cultural history of the area. Javi was an excellent tour guide. We saw quite a bit of the southern and central parts of the national park. The hiking was pretty moderate and I feel that it would be something that many people who go hiking with some frequency could accomplish. This was definitely a highlight of my trip.

The guide was lovely, but I feel the event could have better descriptions. The hike was strenuous with steep climbs, and sharp drops. The rocks were very slippery and better shoes would be recommended. I was expecting a leisurely hike, and it was not that. It would also be nice if they stopped at a restroom prior to lunch (4.5 hours in)

We really enjoyed this day trip out of Madrid. Javier is a knowledgeable guide and enjoyed showing us important hiking tips and telling us about the regional plants and animals. The hikes were fun and views were amazing! Our tour was on a Monday so we did not stop and the castle. I would have enjoyed even just a few minutes to take in the architecture. Regardless we had fun exploring the park with all of our senses.

Javi was a fantastic guide and we thoroughly enjoyed our day of hiking. Javi tailored the morning and afternoon hikes to our family of five's interests. We had a great time, and it was truly refreshing to get out of the city. It was a very peaceful experience and the views were incredible. Javi is very knowledgeable and personable.

Javi our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and delivered our tour both in Spanish and English beautifully. His passion for what he does shone through in everything he taught us ☺️ thankyou for a wonderful tour, especially on Labour Day when I was expecting this to not go ahead!
