Alfonso was an amazing tour guide. The tour hit some major sights in Madrid over four hours and Alfonso's energy and enthusiasm never waned. We had two school aged children with us and he was excellent at keeping them involved in the tour. The only thing I would recommend for improvement is investing in better radio equipment or perhaps just procedures for the listening devices. We frequently lost audio in the Prado and on the city walk.

The 4+ hours with Luis our walking tour guide were amazing. We visited the Museo del Prado and then walked to the Real Palais… beautiful weather in Madrid in April.

Alfonso was excellent. Knowledgeable and comprehensive. He talked through the entire walk from the Prado to the Royal Palace but his great personality could not diminish this long and demanding walk.

Our tour guide for the day was David. He was amazingly knowledgeable, passionate and engaging. His in depth knowledge of the masterpieces of the Prado Museum and their ties to the history of Madrid was my favourite part of the tour. Small intimate tour group that took us to many of the major sites to see in Madrid culminating at the spectacular Royal Palace of Madrid. Thanks David, would recommend to anyone!
