Enjoyable and interesting visit - We did a tour with Eva, without having any prior knowledge about bullfighting, and it was a super interesting and enjoyable visit. I was very surprised!

Unexpectedly interesting - An interesting visit even for those of us who are not bullfighters. The building is majestic and accumulates a lot of anecdotes and curious data. Our guide, Eva, is very friendly and has made the experience excellent.

A Madrid Must Do - This was one of the best tours we have been on, in large part due to the knowledge and passion of our guide. In all honesty I went in rather anti bullfighting and just wanted to see the stadium and hear the history. By the end I wanted to buy tickets and see one. We did learn a tremendous amount of history, saw matadors in trading, took a lot of photos, saw how they were preparing the ring and what happens to the bulls after the fights. There is a small chapel there we got to see. All in all a great experience.

Even if you don't enjoy bullfighting, it's still worth the trip. - A very spectacular location, both in terms of size and impact. It is also worthwhile to go around the first level to get a sense of the arena and its vistas. The acoustics are also fantastic. Even if you don't enjoy bullfighting, it's still worth the trip.
