We had a wonderful tour with Bradley - he was extremely knowledgeable about Madrid and the history of Spain, and was very patient answering all our questions. He showed us places and details we would not have noticed on our own and we would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Madrid!

Absolute must have of a tour. Bradley makes it fun with little secrets and knows his history cold. Cannot recommend enough. Don’t miss it.

Bradley is a well informed tour guide. I only wish we had been able to go on this tour when we first arrived in Madrid instead of the last day. It was well worth the money
