Outstanding Tour, Excellent Guide - I am so glad we did this private tour of the Las Ventas bullring. Guillermo’s English was excellent and he was knowledgeable and passionate about his subject yet respectful of the wide ranges of views he must encounter in his job. We learned a ton. I had been reading what I could from English publications and through Google translate of Spanish sources to try to understand this unfamiliar and controversial spectacle, yet always came away confused. Guillermo’s tour and explanation was invaluable in furthering my understanding. And his patience for our many questions was admirable. The building is beautiful. Only disappointment was that the Bullfighting Museum was temporarily closed for about three weeks so we didn’t get to see that. The virtual reality bullfighting experience was a kick! And later getting to hold and move actual capes was a surprise: they are much heavier and more cumbersome than I imagined. I HIGHLY recommend this VIP tour.

Madrid bullring school tour - Éva, a young French-speaking guide, welcomed a group of high school students and was able to transport us into the world of bullfighters. Very pleasant moment, I recommend.

Grand visit on birthday - We loved our "VIP" visit with MATHILDE, who perfectly explained to us the habits and customs of the bullfighting environment (cultural and social), with the added bonus of a demonstration of the art of "bullfighting". Warm thanks to Mathilde. Superb entertainment on my wife's birthday Loic/Stéphanie/Laure/Mika

Great time at las ventas - Andrea was simply perfect. The guided tour of the arenas that she took with us was very clear. She is a very cheerful person who knew how to adapt to children. Thank you for this good time.

Great tour. Arrive early to have extra time to find tour😊 - Finding the meeting point wasn’t straightforward bc of the large area, so look for a person holding a roundish trip advisor sign. Not too far off from entrance…

A worthy guide! - We booked a tour of Madrid's magnificent bullring with a guide for a school group of 52 students. And we weren't disappointed in any way. Indeed Andrea was very professional, educational, patient and super friendly with our students. They have great memories of it! Thank you for participating in the success of this school trip!

Las Ventas Bull Ring tour is Awesome - The perfect experience. Tour guide was outstanding. We entered knowing nothing really about the bull ring, bulls and matadors and left with a wonderful appreciation of this art form that very much a part of the Spanish culture and community. The bull ring offers a self guided tour but I would highly recommend the guided tour. We enjoyed the experience immensely and are just sorry we won’t be here on Sunday to see an actual event. Avoided saying Bull Fight as we learned this gives a less tan accurate depiction of this very special art form.
