Valley of the Fallen - The guide was great. Took time to explain everything. El Escorial was beautiful and the art work extreme. The Valley of the Fallen and the Cross are amazing. Great tour.

El Escorial - This was a great tour. The bus was comfortable and the guide easy to understand. The cathedral was beautiful and I felt such a sense of worship there. The valley was interesting and I liked all the information the guide gave.

Shortened tour - We got 4 hours of a 5 hour tour. We were rushed through El Escorial so the guide could go home an hour early, I guess.

So disappointed. - Despite the fact we left the hotel with plenty of time , the streets around Calle Feraz were blocked and there was no access by car, and walking wouldn’t be on time. We have sent messages to the provider for rescheduling or reimbursement, and no answer yet. Really disappointing , considering what happened was out of our control.
