Master class in History from a Master Tour guide! - Melissa was fun-tastic! Infotainment at its best. A former history teacher who transferred 100% of her skillset to ensure the tour group kept pace, listened well and retained information enough to pass the history quiz! She offered her knowledge in a lively, Tele-novela manner. Encapsulated the historical timeline in a “hamburger” for easier retention. Simple, analytical and very effective, One college student commented, “if only my college courses were taught this way…” More power to her and her ilk! Thank YOU!

Thank you, Flor! - During our recent tour, Flor provided an excellent foundation of the history and importance of Madrid's historic center, Plaza Mayor, and the Royal Palace; it was a perfect introduction to Madrid on our first evening in the city. We especially appreciated Flor's focus on history, sense of fun, and helpful nature.
