A Madrid Must Do - This was one of the best tours we have been on, in large part due to the knowledge and passion of our guide. In all honesty I went in rather anti bullfighting and just wanted to see the stadium and hear the history. By the end I wanted to buy tickets and see one. We did learn a tremendous amount of history, saw matadors in trading, took a lot of photos, saw how they were preparing the ring and what happens to the bulls after the fights. There is a small chapel there we got to see. All in all a great experience.

Even if you don't enjoy bullfighting, it's still worth the trip. - A very spectacular location, both in terms of size and impact. It is also worthwhile to go around the first level to get a sense of the arena and its vistas. The acoustics are also fantastic. Even if you don't enjoy bullfighting, it's still worth the trip.

Not for the faint of heart - Incredible experience, but not for the faint of heart. If your an over the top animal lover, you may want to skip this event.
My family & I had never been to a bullfight & really didn’t know what to expect. We found out in short order that this is pretty brutal.
The stone hard seats are very uncomfortable, so splurge on seat cushions when you go.

That’s a Scam - That show was a scam. We went to the arena and they didn’t even know that there was a reservation. We went to Madrid especially for the show and that experience ruined the whole day and left a very bad flavor in our mouth for the rest of the trip.
The workers at the arena were so empathetic and gave us a free audio device to roam the arena on our own.
