Our guide was very thorough in telling stories about Madrid history.
Thank you, Lydia. Hope to see you back soon in Madrid!
Good tour. We covered a lot of ground and saw a lot of interesting things. It was mostly driving, we would have liked to make a few more stops. Guide was informative and nice. The ride is a bit scary and goes along some major corridors with a lot of traffic.
Thank you very much for your comment, Matt. We are glad that you enjoyed the experience. See you soon.

Thank you for you comments Abigail. We hope you have a good holidays
The owner seemed like a reasonable and professional person who accommodated our two kids but unfortunately, our experience with the tuk tuk driver was quite disappointing. From the start, he came across as anxious, negative, and completely unenthusiastic about giving the tour. Although it was only lightly raining, he repeatedly mentioned that he might have to stop if it picked up despite the fact that we assured him multiple times that we were perfectly fine with the light rain and actually enjoying it. Meanwhile, we saw other tuk tuks around us filled with smiling passengers and guides who seemed to be having a great time, which only highlighted how uncomfortable and joyless our own ride felt. The driver kept circling back to the rain and asking how we felt about it, even though we were clear and positive in our responses. It felt like he was trying to talk himself out of doing the tour. Despite our best efforts to stay upbeat, his energy was draining. He lacked enthusiasm, personality, and any sense of humor, which made the experience dull and awkward. Sadly, he does not seem well-suited for this kind of work.
We deeply regret that the rain may have disrupted your tuktuk trip. We'll speak with the guide, discuss her perspective, and take action. Thank you for your comment.

Pepe was an awesome guide and driver! He is a history professor and native of Madrdi and he knew his stuff. Even though we had a 20 minute rain storm we were dry and comfortable. Highly recommended.
