Would be nice if I could find the group

I’m glad it didn’t cost much because I would be very annoyed instead of mildly irritated. I got to the Puerta del Sol at 4.50pm - 10 min early. Lots of groups there, but none that clearly identified the Viator tour. I could not find the group at all. How are people supposed to know which is their tour if there’s no sign or no exact instructions such as “in front of the Cambio”?

Excellent experience, historic walking tour of Madrid

Ricard is an excellent guide, he made the experience very pleasant and fun, while still telling the history of the entire route, both historical and of the monuments.

Very interesting tour.

The Madrid of the Bourbons tour with Silvia was really interesting. She has great knowledge of history and conveys it in a very enjoyable way. A very pleasant walk discovering beautiful places with excellent explanations.
