Highly recommend this tour!
We don't usually do guided tours, but decided we wanted the insights of a local to help us understand more about the context and impact of the civil war in Madrid and the Franco era. So glad we joined Daniel's tour! He was so informative, and so passionate about the subject matter, as well as being good fun. Daniel was happy to answer the many questions we all put to him. The 2.5 hours we spent with Daniel and the small but engaged group was a highlight of our time in Madrid.

Very enjoyable, interesting and informative
Daniel provided us both with a very enjoyable informative and interesting tour. The time fled by in his excellent company. Pity Daniel was not running any more tours till Friday ????????

Exactly what we were looking for
My daughter wanted to find a tour that would show us the Madrid of the Civil War. This tour came closer to anything else we found. It covered a lot content and a lot of Madrid in a concise 2 hours. While it covered Madrid inthe 20th century that essentially means the time leading up to the Civil War, the war and the aftermath of the war. The guide knew a lot and clearly liked talking about and sharing history. We were a small group but he was still enthusiastic.

Must do tour!
Duarte was an exceptionally good guide. He got the perfect line between lots of information and presenting them in a digestible way. I highly recommend this tour for everyone interested in the more „forgotten“ history of Spain.

super interesting
The tour was very interesting and the guide was highly motivated. He was talking for 4h instead of 2h but it was not boring though ????

Fun, well documented and educational
Very interesting information with Duarte. He is an excellent public speaker, clear and confident. I recommend his tour 100%.

How does a free tour work?
Booking costs nothing. At the end, each person gives the guide what they think is fair for the experience: it's a voluntary tip.
Suggested in this destination: €10 to €15 per person (€20+ if it was exceptional)
