Super recommended - We did the freetour with a great guide! Raquel gave us a tour that lasted two hours around the city. He advised us places to go after the tour. We recommended restaurants and also bars where beer was more affordable. She gave us a tour of 10. We would certainly repeat. The only catch we had with the tour. We would have liked to see more about the facade of the royal palace and perhaps the cathedral would suppress it from the tour. Otherwise, everything was amazing
