Good tour

It was a good tour. It was just very hot. The guides were good people and waited for us since we arrived late to the tour because our flight arrived late. It's just that the explanation from the guides was short; on another tour I had taken two years ago, it was awesome and long. And stopped. It stopped in many places and even took us to the San Miguel market.

Tuk Tuk tour

It was nice highlight of the old city with history of Madrid development. We are a family of 5 individuals and were divided into two cars (we didn’t know it prior to the tour). Looking back at the itinerary, I realized we were not shown two important spots; the stadium and the temple debod. Maybe we didn’t need two hours, one is enough

Cristian was a great guide

Cristian was a great guide - nice info about the city and a great overview of what we wanted to go back to see later. Riding around in the cart is definitely nicer than walking in the hot sun!
