The (in) Famous Spanish Inquisition - A wonderful tour with Daniel from Mysterium tours. He really brought alive a period and custom which is very integral to Spanish heritage . The Spanish Inquisition. Daniel spoke impeccable English, though born raised in Spain ( Guess his American genes ). He is truly a professional theatre and drama person, and made a 2 hour long tour very engaging with drama and storytelling. He gave lot of historical information and put the Spanish inquisition in its cultural context. While there was gore, macabre and tattle tales, he helped us understand the context and society in which the Inquisitions were happening. It was an infamous custom and till date is viewed as such, but Daniel helped us understand it better. And made it so much fun, even with all the horrible stories. I will not advise it for anyone below 12 years though. My son was the youngest in the group. It is not scary but can get overwhelming . I will also not advise it for judgemental adults You will enjoy it if you have a open mind and a strong heart :) Well done Daniel!

Highly Recommend - Beatriz was a wonderful tour guide! 1000/10 story telling skills. We walked a good portion of the city center and saw so many landmarks. My hubby and I learned so much about the Spanish Inquisition and the landmarks we stopped at. Bea and I also had a really in-depth chat after I asked her about restless spirits in these locations and Madrid in general and she was so welcoming to any questions. The only thing I think would make the tour even better is pointing out landmarks we were passing by. We passed by so many and not all were a part of the stories she told but would be nice to know a quick tidbit! Either way I highly recommend this tour for anyone who’s into learning about the spooky side of the city!
