Reviews

What our customers tell us

We loved the monument and the route around it. We think it is a must if you want to get to know and understand the city and its history. Our guide gave us a very interesting and very enjoyable tour; I think that, although it is an extra expense on your holiday, it is the way to get to know these gems in greater depth and in a fairly personalised way.
Alfonso M. C.Review received by email
We were very satisfied, both with the organisation and with the guide, who was clearly very well informed and also very pleasant. And of course, seeing it on your own is not the same as going with a guide who explains everything to you as you go.
Juan P. R.Review received by email
A very interesting and entertaining tour. Everything was great and the guide was ten out of ten.
José C.Review received by email
We could not see the part they are preparing, but the rest was impressive, above all thanks to the guide’s great professionalism. Outstanding.
