Worth a Look!
Great experience, worth the trip! Great tour guide Isabella, very knowledgeable about the vast history of what we were exploring
Great Experience and Informative Tour
Our half-day tour for El Escorial and the Valley of the fallen was excellent and efficiently managed as well. Very informative. Nacho, our guide, smoothly transitioned between Spanish and English and answered all questions. He also did a great job putting details in historical context for the information he gave us. Lastly, he took care of all the tour members, assisting with logistics where needed for those less mobile. The tour was the perfect length. We left Madrid on time (09:00) and returned around 14:30. Bus transport was very comfortable and the driver, Ramon, did an excellent job navigating any size road and graciously helped people on and off the bus. All in all a great experience. I would definitely book one of these tours again!
Memorable tour
It was the first time my husband and I joined a tour and it was a memorable experience. The tour was well organized, on time, the bus very comfortable, and Nacho was an excellent guide. We like his enthusiasm, patience, and his level of knowledge. I would recommend this tour group to others. Well done!
