Wonderful experience - What a great storyteller our guide Eneida was! She made us a bit scared sometimes, but also many laughs. We had a great time on the tour, saw beautiful Madrid sights and learned about legendary and dark moments. Definite recommend!

Great family tour with teenagers - We had a fantastic tour of Madrid last night with Daniel. The tour was very interesting, enough to impress our two teenagers still saying they loved it the next morning! Daniel delivered the tour amazingly. Would definitely recommend it!

Interesting tour! We... - Interesting tour! We learned some history we might not otherwise learn, and saw a lot of streets and plazas at night that were off the beaten path and other places like where the Inquisiton prisoners were held and plazas where they were tortured and killed. Guide kept it interesting and interactive. . We all had some good laughs thanks to our guide and despite the tragic subject matter.

Magnificent - Great tour for the whole family. Educational, witty and entertaining. We learned so much and still talk about it. Big thank you for not cancelling the tour although we were only 3 people and it was bitter cold. You will never look at the center of Madrid the same way. Excellent value for money.

A fun night around town - Amazing! Such fun! We were spoilt to be part of this tour tonight with Daniel. He was great fun & super informative. Our only regret is not having any cash on us for a tip - definitely worth doing if you're in Madrid!
