Engaging tour of grandest Madrid buildings & Spanish history and

Very articulate. Learned a lot about Spanish history 1700’s to now. Great guide , plus he waited for me & my family since we were running late in Madrid traffic. He even kept my teen kids engaged in 100 degree heat. If we could give him 10 stars we would.
