Excellent attention from both the administrative staff and the driver, as well as Silvia, the guide. Silvia was very clear in her explanations. The tour started at the scheduled time, and the vehicle was comfortable and very clean.

After an hour long drive we reached El Escorial. A huge building of monastery, church and Pantheon. The favourite home of Philip II of Spain and many later kings. A fascinating place and Juan our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. It was a good length visit before visiting the Valley of the Fallen. A huge monument to the dead of the civil war. I was glad to find that Franco’s tomb had been removed and reburied in Madrid so this had truly become a fitting tribute to the dead of both sides.
Dear customers, Thank you for your kind review. It delight us to know that this tour met your expectations. Kind regards
Very punctual, well organized your. Really confortable bus. Carlos, our tour guide, has a deep knowledge of all we visited in the tour. Regarding the Monasterio, a real jewel, so well prerved and maintained. Regarding the valley of the fallen, it is located in a beautiful area full of green. Impresive memorial. In summary, highly recommended tour.
Dear customer, Thank you for your kind review. We hope to welcome you soon. Kind regards
Excellent experience. The Escorial Monastery, is not just a Monastery, is a Royal Palace, where Philip II spent the last days and one the Spanish Kings are buried. The Valley of the Fallen is amazing!! What a monumental work!! It is a pity that politics is trying to change history and allow a monument like this not to be properly kept.
Estimado cliente, Muchas gracias por sus amables palabras. Esperamos volver a recibirles pronto. Saludos cordiales

Estimado cliente, Mil gracias por dedicar parte de su valioso tiempo en comentar el servicio brindado. Saludos cordiales VPT TOURS
A bit rushed, but Cristina, our guide made a great job explaining in English and Spanish the paintings and buildings, their history, etc. Perhaps a longer visit (additional two hours, maybe - or a single language visit) would do the trick. I’d rather pay a little bit more, and not run so much. Despite that, highly recommendable. Certainly, much better than trying to get there by yourself.
Dear customers, Thank you very much for your feedback, which we will take into account for future service improvements. Just to clarify, our tours are shared group tours and have a set duration. If you needed more time, perhaps booking a private tour, which could better accommodate your needs, would have been a better option. In any case, thank you very much for choosing us for your excursion.
Beautiful and a great experience!
