Miguel is the best tour guide I’ve ever met. I went on his tour with my 10-year-old son, and instead of getting bored as expected, he learned a lot and was very entertained. I highly recommend taking any activity with Miguel — he clearly enjoys what he does, and that makes you enjoy it too.

Miguel was a wonderful guide: full of passion, with impressive historical knowledge and lots of anecdotes that made the tour enjoyable and exciting. You can tell he loves what he does, and it’s contagious. Without a doubt, one of the best free walking tours I’ve ever done. Highly recommended!

Miguel is without a doubt the best guide I had on my whole trip! The way he tells history is so captivating that you don’t want the tour to end. His knowledge is impressive, but the best part is how he delivers it: with passion, humor, and a unique style that makes you travel back in time. He even adds music to some moments to make the experience even more memorable.
