Took the tour with David...

Took the tour with David Cebolla, and it was an incredible experience. We learned about executioners, ghost stories of burnt churches, incest and murder, demons, and a murder mystery. David had great monologues that captured the essence of the characters he talked about in the dark macabre history of Madrid. 10/10 would highly recommend. - Chris from New York
