Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Alcala. Sometimes a little difficult to understand the English but he was helpful to repeat. Would recommend
Thanks😊
Short walking tour. I was the only one so David, in addition to giving a great history of the place and pointing out its highlights wasn able to answer all my questions. We did not go inside the Cathedral or University or Cervantes" birth place, but you could do all that on your own. On the whole it was a very relaxing and educational toir. Alcala de Henares is a beautiful city, loaded with a lot of history and culture. David was an excellent guide.
Thank you very much💛
