What people are saying about Madrid

I was just a beautiful experience in the air. It was on our Bucket-list - communication was excellent and even though we booked it in Toledo and due to weather we had to switch to Segovia and what a beautiful city in Spain. The team was absolutely nice. The only recommendation to make it even a greater experience is the setting of the Brunch but other that that I’m ready for my net ride.

This tour comes with a private guide for the duration. Pablo brought us to the main city sites and provided us with informative details of the sites. Highly recommended.

Carmen is the best! Funny, enthusiastic and answers all questions! You could tell she just loves the people and is interested in their cultures too!

Beautiful landscape. Lot’s of enriched history and knowledgeable guides.

All aspects went off without any issues. We had a lovely time.
