5.00We had an absolutely amazing time on the “Spanish Inquisition and Legends of Madrid” tour! Our guide, Daniel, was simply outstanding : lively, passionate, and incredibly engaging. He drew us into the stories from start to finish, and time flew by without us even noticing. Despite the dark theme, the tour was fascinating, informative, and even fun, thanks to his clear explanations, great anecdotes, and fantastic storytelling. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to discover Madrid in a unique and memorable way. A must-do! Thanks again Daniel ! :)

5.00A really enjoyable night tour in Madrid, getting to see a night-time view of many corners of the city, which “feels” and looks quite different at night than during the day. Well worth the experience, coupled with stories of the dark times of the Inquisition and other legends both frightening and comical. For our tour guide, Eneida, it was first time tour and she did a wonderful job of spell-binding us with her engaging storytelling. We were quite the international group of participants from NYC, Netherlands, Australia, Israel and the UK with a wide age range from teen ager to 70 year olds, and it appeared that ALL had a really good time. WELL RECOMMEND!!!

3.00My boyfriend and I were very excited to go on our tour, but we received a cancellation notice at 11 AM the same day of tour. We had no other availability to res schedule the rest of our trip. There was a bit of a back and forth with the company over email and text before they agreed to give us our money back instead of a voucher, but we did receive our refund that same evening.
Fantastic something different to do whilst in Madrid. Highly recommend
