Evening of fun and education - Daniel was both informative and entertaining. He told stories, histories and some fiction for our imagination. He engaged all of us in the walk. We all had great fun! Highly recommended.

Fantastic! - Daniel was an engaging and humorous story teller who held our attention from beginning to end! We learned a great deal about the Spanish Inquisition and legends of Madrid. It was beautiful walking through the city in the evening. This was one of my favorite activities during our visit to Madrid.

Great tour! - Our guide Bea did such a great job! We heard a lot of interesting stories and with a little imagination and Bea‘s increadible talent, she brought those stories „to life“. I‘ve learned a lot about Madrids history and visited some nice places. She also made sure, that we would pass some water fountains to fill up our water bottles. I would definitely recommend that tour!

Stepping into the Darkest of Times - History Toledo - Bea was a great story teller and historian as she took us from place to place to explain what occurred so long ago during the darkest times in Toledo. At one point we were in an area where she said people were burned to death and near by we were smelling smoke. It was weird that a nearby building was on fire.

Good tour - Enjoyed learning about the history of old Madrid. Only gripe is some of the stories didn't really have any closure or ending. Still a fun tour though
