Hi We met at puerta del Sol (amazing place!) At 11. Lucia told us that 11 sharp means 11:15 in Spain, so no rush :) People here really don't rush, life is less stressful in here. Or maybe was just the vacation mood dunno :) Lucia took us to see the essential points of interest so the following days we knew exactly where to go and explore more. Have your camera ready and your comfy shoes, you're in for a 3h walking tour. For us 9 to 5 corporate workers it was like running the marathon, but it's worth it. We had our 6y old with us, she made it as well :) This tour was a really smart idea!

Really good guided walk
Frank was a great guide. He made sure everyone got his attention. During the walk he would ask questions, which made the walk verry interesting and everyone payd attention during the whole trip. 3 hours is maybe a bit long..
Absolutely fabulous
Frank our guide was very knowledgeable and very considerate. It was a very hot day in Madrid on the day we did the tour and he always made sure there was shade and where possible a seat. Take a tour, you'll love it!!!
