Fabulous

Without a doubt an amazing experience with Christian, his comedy is just gold. I could not spot laughing and somehow he made me learn so much.

You have to do this tour when in Madrid

Michel was an absolutely fantastic guide for our walking tour of Madrid. Despite the extreme heat, he was incredibly thoughtful, consistently finding shaded spots for us to rest and ensuring everyone stayed together safely. His instructions were always clear and easy to follow, making the entire experience both informative and highly comfortable.

Good experience

The instructor was very well informed about everything and even brought us glasses to watch the eclipse; we toured tourist spots with a very interesting historical context.

Totally recommended experience.

Excellent experience, rigorous and very fun. Ricard, our guide, a 10. Combining historical rigor with dramatization for better understanding was a total success. Totally recommended. Thank you Ricard.

Amazing!!! πŸ’―

My experience with Ricard was a 10. The tour was awesome. It makes you feel curious from minute 1 until the end. Looking forward to more. I will go on his other tours, without a doubt. He is fantastic, handles history perfectly, and does it in a very original way. He is a great communicator and a great professional. I had a great time. Do not hesitate to take a tour with him. You are going to laugh, you are going to be impressed, and he is going to make you interested in history. A big hug Ricard, see you next time!!! 😍✨❀️🫢🏻
