  We had an excellent experience on the tour to El Escorial and El Valle de los Caídos. Our guide, Pilar, was simply phenomenal. He demonstrated a deep knowledge of history and culture, and was able to convey it in a very enjoyable and clear way. In addition, he did an impressive job guiding the tour in both English and Spanish, making sure that all participants could fully enjoy it. The itinerary was very well organized, with just enough time at each stop and detailed explanations that really helped to understand the historical and artistic importance of both places. Pilar also showed great empathy and professionalism, answering all questions with patience and enthusiasm. In short, a highly recommended tour, especially if you are lucky enough to do so with Pilar. A top guide!

  We visited El Escorial and the Valley of the Fallen. Two very interesting sites and well explained by our guide Pilar. Excellent experience, a shame that the weather did not accompany us.

  A very interesting trip with a good guide. The only problem we found was the lack of time in Escorial. It would have been nice to stop in the town, walk around and perhaps have a cup of coffee. We almost did not have ime to use the washroom. Otherwise the time in the monastery was fascinating. We were also a bit dissapointed that we did not visit the library. I think that it would work perfectly as a whole day trip. The monastery in the morning, walk and lunch and the Valley in the afternoon.

• Overall great experience,...

  This tour is very good! I booked an English tour, but ended up on a Bilingual tour (Spanish and a little English). The sites made up for a long day with the “earbuds”! The people seem nice with this tour company, but you will want to check on the language before departing.
