This trip is a must do if...
This trip is a must do if you are in Madrid, you would have seen cathedrals and churches around Europe but this monastery and the valley of fallen is beautiful and different - reminder of the Spanish war and outstanding location . Our guide (Isabelle) did a marvellous job
A very informative tour.
Isabelle is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. This makes it a very informative tour.
Wonderful visit to EL Escorial!
The Tour Guide, Isabel, was absolutely fantastic in leading our small group while visiting El Escorial and The Valley of the Fallen. Isabel was very kind and attentive, extremely knowledgeable and well versed in Span’s history. She is also a very effective communicator, and possesses a very pleasant, engaging, and friendly personality. Thank you Isabel and Fun and Tickets for providing such a wonderful tour experience.
Well organized, great tour guide, soaked in so much for a half day outing.
The Valley of the Fallen is simply jaw-drop stunning (despite the sad history behind it) and must not be missed. If only I could check-in to the Escorial, I would not stay at the Grand Hyatt :)) Our guide Isabel is warm, friendly and a walking encyclopaedia of knowledge - ask her anything and she’s got the answer!
Escorial , Valley of Fallen
Isabelle was our guide, she was wonderful. Not only was she super knowledgeable about the place, but she also had so much trivia and facts and history about the trip. I loved this and I highly recommend everyone do this trip
