A 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!!!

My 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.

The tour guide (Daniel) was fantastic. Really funny, really knowledgable and super confident at delivering this tour with energy and excitement. I would certainly recommend. His English is fantastic so not only is the story telling clear and well told, but he can engage with everyone.

A great introduction to the sites and history of the Spanish inquisition within Madrid. Beatrix did an excellent job of acting and narrating the history. Highly recommend for an introduction to the Spanish Inquisition and an alternative approach to story telling on a city tour.
