Chato is an incredible guide!!! the tour is super interesting and explains everything in a super fun way, I recommend 100% and when I return to madrid I will take the other tours!!!
Entertaining and fun. Our guide, Chato, was considerate of us attendees and was concerned all the time that we were well. He told us anecdotes while at the same time he was rigorous with the history. He also answered "free" questions, you can tell he was prepared. Undoubtedly, a success. 100% recommendable!
Fantastic tour with Paul. His humour added to his knowledge made the tour very enjoyable and memorable. Definitely recommended!
Martin is an excellent guide, with very good details of information about the places and tips for tourists. He explained everything very well and very clear and also added a little joke to the topics, which makes the walk more pleasant.
Chato did a great job, we loved the tour, highly recommended!
