Great tour by Daniel - Daniel did a great job, spoke excellent English, and spoke loudly enough for the whole group to hear easily. The tour covered a bit on the inquisition as well as other general information about places and statues in Madrid.

Great Sightseeting with Ghost Stories! - We had a great time with Isa in Madrid for an evening walking tour and stories of the Spanish Inquisition. She was very knowledgeable and set the tone with all the stories through her expression and professional composure.

Do something else - The guide was Daniel. He was more interested in being funny / entertaining than informative. He knew very little about the subject matter, told a series of ghost stories trying to make people scared, etc. All in all it fell flat. That being said, if there was absolutely nothing else to do, and it was the only opportunity you had to walk around Madrid, then do this tour

Don’t get Issa! - All reviews we read were so e voting and true ! We got Issa - and she sounded like a robot - it was unbearable and the first tour we quit 40 minutes in on a three week tour in Spain- she said she is in Spain doing “circus” training. That might be a better fix for her.
