Wonderful Day Trip to Guadarrama
The day trip was fun and a great experience. We had a your guide named Lola who made adjustments based on the weather. It was very rainy so she cut the beginning a little short and extended the time later on the tour so that we were able to see better scenery and enjoy the trip overall. I'd do this again and highly recommend it to others
Good experience
A very good experience, the professional guide, and although it was not good weather, we could enjoy the snow.
Find something else to do
Guide spoke very poor English; car repeatedly stalled because driver was very inexperinced with a 'stick shift' standard vehicle; 'naturalist' tour guide knew nothing about nature; tour was lillte more than a walk along a trail. After a second tour with this company my recommendation is avoid entire tour company.
Not a hike tour, more like sightseeing tour
If you are a hiker you will be disappointed because the tour is more a sightseeing than a hike, but I really enjoyed the tour with our tour guide Angel, a very knowledgeable person. He took us to really nice spots at the Guardarama National Park, and some towns close to the park and sky area .
amazing tour with more amazing guides
Maybe the most Maybe the most amazing tour I’ve ever had — and I’m not exaggerating. The tour wasn’t amazing because of the many views or special places. It was amazing because of the two guides who were with us — Andrea and Lola — who did everything to make sure we had a perfect trip with our little daughters. They adapted the tour to our pace, explained everything with great enthusiasm, and when my girls wanted to dip their feet in the river, they immediately agreed and took us to a suitable spot. Throughout the tour, they made sure to adjust everything in a comfortable way for everyone. Wow — what exceptional and special service! Without a doubt, when we return to visit Madrid, we will choose only this company for our tours. Thank you, thank you, thank you!r I’ve ever had — and I’m not exaggerating.
