Excellent tour. Our guide Luis, was very helpful in explaining in detail the history of the places we visited. it was worth it to spend the time with them. Well organized, nice bus, and good driver.

The tour was great, beautiful and amazing places and our 2 tour guides (one for English and one for Spanish) Luis Miguel and Beatriz both were great, very friendly and knowledgeable. A lot of info and history in this tour. Would recommend this tour!

Beatriz was a very good guide! We had some unexpected hickups and she managed to avoid them which was nice so we could still experience the full tour! Definitely recommend.

Rodrigo was excellent! I learned so much from him. Excellent half day tour! Highly recommend. The bus was very comfortable as well.

Our visit to the Escorial was well worth it. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the guide, Rodrigo. His explanations were clear and entertaining at the same time.

Great tour, two fabulous locations. Christine was our guide and did a great job. She conducted the tour in two languages and it worked out fine. Informative and very appreciative of seeing the two highlights. Thank you Fun & Tickets and thanks Christine.

The sites were amazing. However, the tour was very rushed. It said the tour maxed out at 24; there were 30. The tour was sold as in English and it definitely was bilingual - which is fine but the English portion was hit and miss (I speak both). The tour guide didn’t even take us through a good portion of the sites.

For a large bus tour it was very good. Christina’s presentation was knowledgeable and entertaining. The pace of the tour was good.
