If you enjoy historical figures and architecture please book

Going through the pages of history by seeing the architecture and learning more of the characters during the period which stretched from the Bourbon Dynasty through the time of Napoleon was fascinating. Our guide JP was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable as he covered loads of information during the time of the tour. He also answered several of our questions about Madrid. I highly recommend that you book this tour. You can thank me later.

From the heart of Madrid at Puerta del Sol, he guided us in a very enjoyable manner to Retiro Park, sharing fascinating stories and interesting facts that made the walk fly by.
