Alcalá -El Retiro

Me encantó el tour. Martín, nuestro guía, se esmera y entrega demasiado a su grupo, repetiría con él cualquier otra ruta.

Very informative and lively tour

The tour was very good. The guide knows her stuff and is able to capture the participants' attention. She points out neat details on the sights along the tour. She also made sure that the group was complete and that people were updated on the tour. She also provided some great tips for the rest of our visit to Madrid, like good places to eat and drink. Overall a great experience. Highly recommended.

Muy recomendado

El recorrido estaba muy bien planificado y el guía, Martín, conocía mucho del tema. Fue muy dinámico y su forma de entregar el contenido era interactiva e innovadora. Vale la pena darse este tiempo durante la estadía en Madrid.
