Great teacher! (says a math teacher...😉) - Very interesting and also funny tour with Victor. He can explain a very complicated civil war in a simple way. The only thing that was a pity is that he didn't send his recommandations after the tour, but the tour was great!

Excellent - An exciting tour. A lot of history and not so much history, told with a lot of professionalism by Ricard. We learned a lot and met very interesting places in Madrid.

This probably shouldn’t be your first tour in Spain, but is it is a must do if you want to understand her. - After you fall in love with Spain (and how can you not?), do this tour to deepen your understanding of her complex history. JP was a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide and let us come to our own conclusions about what happened in the Spanish civil war. A haunting lesson for many countries around the world. Once you’ve had your fill of tapas and tinto, come do this tour. Your brain will thank you.

Highly recommended tour and immersion in the events associated with the civil war! - Our guide Chato proposes an exciting, highly pedagogical and documented immersion to better understand the time of the civil war. Through emblematic sites, he made us discover emblematic events of this period with their local and international implications, highly recommended!

Ricard, an exceptional guide. - Excellent tour commemorating the Civil War. Our guide Ricard, besides being friendly I guess we get along and excited with those sad days. His final photo of Lorca and Rosales leaves a deep mark of how political opposites can live in peace.
