Best guide - We got lucky experience with our guide name Enrique. He is a highly professional and experienced guide who brings a fantastic sense of humor to his tours. He skillfully blends his extensive knowledge with a lighthearted approach, making for an engaging and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re looking for informative insights or a good laugh, Enrique delivers on both fronts, ensuring that all participants feel welcomed and entertained. Overall, his ability to connect with the group while providing a wealth of information truly sets him apart as a guide.

Awesome!! - We had an amazing tour to the Royal Palace. Enrique was our extremely articulate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and amusing guide! Great anecdotes, smart, thoughtful and enthusiastic about Spanish history - gave us a great understanding and overview. I am from the US, so this was very helpful. Without Enrique we would have gotten so much less from our tour - the money was well spent. He also handled the crowds very well and was warm and wonderful to all of his guests. I highly recommend!

We had great tour guide... - We had great tour guide named Beatriz. She is a former history teacher and was so knowledgeable and kept the tour very lively and fun and interactive by using the men in our group as the kings. She told a lot of stories and was funny as well. You will be lucky to get her as your guide! She was really great!! Thank you Beatriz!!

Pay careful attention to the reservation date - Unfortunately, we made a mistake and booked the wrong date for our tour. While the tour guide tried to help us, he had a full tour and the one afterwards was full too. We contacted the customer service, as we had a flight to catch in the afternoon and therefore we would not be able to go the next day. However, they could not get us into a tour, they were not able to refund us and they would not offer any credit towards a future tour! I lost 152€! In the end, we had to wait in line and buy an audio guide tour, so we paid another €100+euros. Very disappointed with this tour company. Additionally, we had a tour the previous day and it was very nice. I had left a kind review and decided to book this other tour with them. Now I’m left with anger, as they were not able to help me in anyway with the mix up of the dates and took my money with zero compensation of any kind. Therefore, be careful with the dates when reserving!
