Madrid Tour Reviews

Janet A., USA
This was a great tour but the only problem was the provided lunch. I decided to take this option due to the fact my Spanish is minimal. The restaurant (cant remember the name) claimed they were not expecting us, sere surly to the point of rudeness and very ungraciously served us. Thank goodness I met someone with a knowledge of the language otherwise I would have ended up with soup! going back to the tour, both guides were wonderful and very knowledgeable. I would take a tour again but perhaps without the lunch option.


Jose M., USA
These were actually 2 separate, half day tours. Both were good, but the Toledo tour was outstanding due in large part to our excellent tour guide, Magdalena. She was the best, most knowledgeable tour guide I've ever had. The lunch that we had at Museo del Jamon was excellent, but the food portions and courses were too many. I barely was able to have a forkful of the stew after having a large plate of paella.


Peter W., Australia
It was a large tour with only a handful of English speaking guests. The tour guide did a good job explaining each site but the info was proportional to the number of guests, 90:10, so for 90% of the time I had no idea what was being discussed.


Jorge Ricardo L., Argentina
Nothing special.


Francisco G., Spain
Timing good, Guide tour excellent, so kind and gentle


ENRICO P., Italy

La Shanna C., USA
I had a fabulous time, the tour guides were excellent. I enjoyed the extensive knowledge the tour guides shared. I was impressed with the English of the tour guides, they did an excellent job. I look forward to my next tour! My only criticism was the lunch, it wasn't for me but it didn't ruin my day:)


Sally W., USA
The afternoon of the tour, in Toledo, was not good. The tour felt very rushed and the guide did not give us time to enjoy the city at all. In fact, I was most annoyed when he took us to a special shop when we could have enjoyed the streets of Toledo more.


Joe R., USA
Although the tour was very interesting and our guide was quite good, the pace was too fast. We probably would have enjoyed the full day Toledo tour more. Three sites resulted in spending more time on the bus than we desired.


Robin R., United Kingdom
As tours go - with 50+ people in the coach - it went well. We were lucky to have a separate English guide at the sights so that we did not have to stand through the Spanish guiding.

Caroline R., Brazil
It is a general tour. You don't stop in the monuments, just in the Plaza de Toros and in the Hard Rock Café.


Domingos A., Brazil
Ride very good, the guide was very professional, spoke very quietly in both English and Spanish, the content of the tour was pretty good too.


LUIZ HENRIQUE SCHIAVIM A., Brazil
VERY GOOD,

Irina K., Russian Federation
Toledo was nice. Guide was awful, man without name. Date February 11, 2013 Up to the end of the trip I wanted to kill him -- no free time for buying souvenirs in Toledo, 10 phrases in Spain per 1 in English with sour face. A lot of complaining of his back. Irina Kharchenko, Moscow Russia


Louise D., Saudi Arabia
Toledo is very beautiful and interesting. I highly recommend this full-day trip. The tour operator was informative and tried hard to make this trip memorable.


Runa B., Iceland
A visit to Toledo is a thing not to miss if you are in Madrid. It's an amazing city - and make sure to book your traditional lunch if you take the tour. It's excellent!


Christopher Michael U., Philippines
It was a nice visit with a tourist guide who knows her history. She would tell us the best places to take pictures. However, the time was wasted on people who walked slowly.


Paulo P., Brazil
It was ok


Amy B., USA
It was really fun to get outside of Madrid and see a smaller town in Spain. I highly recommend it during Corpus Cristi as well- the decorations around the church were beautiful. The guide was very informed and easy to understand.


David D., USA
The tour and tour guide (Magdalena?) were wonderful. The guide was responsive, well-informed and friendly. The only negative was wet weather. Even so, the tour itself was wonderful and we highly recommend it.


Yin Kang G., Singapore
Very educational tour. Tour guide was excellent.

Franz B., Chile
Toledo is a beautiful city with nice architecture, but i like walk in travel and to take shots or to buy something. The tour was fast, where always i was delayed in tarvel. Also i couldn't buy in the city store, but the travel in Toledo finishing in a big store for a gift.... mmmm....


carlo A., Brazil
It was very nice. Pick up on sharp, and the guide had many information to pass us.


Deborah A., USA
The tour guide appeared to not like having to do the tour in two languages. One tour got a longer explanation than the tour in English.


Robert G., USA
Toledo is an interesting city and the guide took us to all the highlights. The tour gives you an insight whether or not you want to come back and see more. Toledo is easily accesable from Madrid. This tour satisfied our requirements.


Daniela I., Italy
It was ok


Marvin B., USA
We enjoyed the tour and found the tour guide quite knowledgeable.


Pamela K., USA
We liked it and recommend it

Giampietro L., Italy
We liked it and recommend it


Claire Angele B., Malta
We liked it and recommend it


maywin T., United Kingdom
We cannot take photos. It would be better if the night tour is from the open air tour bus.


Kristina Z., USA
We would have preferred an open air bus in order to take photographs.

Alexey B., Brazil
It was a very nice trip for us. We saw so much and it was very interesting. I will advise this trip. About the food, we cannot tell something, because we did not get any. The only problem of some of the passangers - in the main for the older people- was, that we were not informed, that the end of the trip was not at the Gustaf Adolfs Torg. It ended at the ship station and many of the people did not know how to get back. For us it was a good experience and the trip is absolutely advisebly. Kind regards Dalmatiner Prinz Monika Dalmatiner Ingrid


Marco P., Germany
The Tour was OK - however the forced stop at an expensive shop was not mentioned - and I do not like to be forced to go to a shop on such a tour...

EDITHA J., USA
I would think since everyone says Spain is in crisis that the tour guides should give time for a shopping even for souvenirs in the areas so to boost their economy since tourism is their main income if am not mistaken.I am speaking for myself but the guide had a monotone voice that most people are falling asleep-he give us good history but his voice is like a lullaby.


Louise D., Saudi Arabia
This was a very informative tour and it is highly recommended for those who have limited time to explore the environment. The tour guide really tried very hard to make the tour memorable. Avila and Sergovia are both well worth a visit.


Linda P., USA
The tour is a good way to see both Avila and Segovia in a day. The guide was informative and easy to understand


Marla H., USA
It was a very interesting tour, and Maria was wonderful.


Kristen B., Australia
This tour was the best of the tours we did in Spain. The scenery was very enjoyable onthe way to and from Avila and Segovia. Avila has the most well-kept medieval wall that I have seen so far in Europe. The aquaduct in Segovia was a real highlight, an amazing and beautiful creation done 2100 years ago! Our guide for this tour was really good, he spent all day talking to us and gave us a comprehensive tour of the regions we visited, which I think made a big difference. We really felt like we got our value for money on this tour, as opposed to some others where the tour guides are merely chaperones.


Deon B., Saudi Arabia
It was a good way to see some of the places and surroundings around Madrid.


Laura P., USA
I really enjoyed Segovia and would visit it again. Avila was not really worth it. The guide for the trip was very good and kept the rather large group well in check.

Enzo R., Italy
It was interesting


Francesca P., Italy
Must do - We loved it


John R., Japan
It was interesting

Kah Kay A., Singapore
This is a good short introductory tour to Madrid. It brings you on a panoramic drive to view the highlights of Madrid - Cibeles Fountain, Retiro Park, Prado Museum, Plaza de Toros, Salamanca district, Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol. The rooms in the Royal Palace are magnificent.


Eduardo R., USA
Nice tour. The time needed for the Royal Palace needed to be more but overall the tour was nice!!!


Jasmin R., Germany
We liked it and recommend it


Emilio V., Italy
royal palace very interesting, the tourist guide was perfect. good tour


Arthur H., USA
very interesting and you learn a lot about the city.

SHIRLEY C., Hong Kong
City tour on the bus was so so but the bullfighting show was so exciting if you look at it as kind of an experience of Spain culture.


Kristen B., Australia
The city tour part was not very interesting, you would be much better off going on an open top bus tour. I almost fell asleep. The bull fight was well worth doing. I would recommend this, although you have to be the kind of person that would want to see this. The good thing about the tour was that they got good seats in the shade, in the part of the stadium near the president where most of the action took place. We also had the back row seats which gave us something to lean on. The guide was not very helpful though.

Elvia L., Mexico
Es un tour muy recomendable y todo está planeado a la perfeccion, lugares, paseos, hoteles, comidas. Una sugerencia importante es que los guías pongan ciudado en el caso de personas de edad mayor, pues no todos pueden tener el mismo ritmo. Habría que prever esta situación.


EIRINI A., Greece
I would like to thank the team of Trapsatur for the very well organised excursion. We spend 4 days in Andalucia and I must say that the program was realy full. No time to loose. Our tour leader was very kind and the choise of 4 stars hotels was exellent.It was a worthvalue excursion. Thank you all!!


Esther S., USA
Well organized ... not a minute wasted. Got to see everything that was promised and some more. First class hotel accomodations. Very comfortable bus. Very friendly tour guides. The only complaint I have is that the optional evening tours should have been advertised in advance so that people could have planned on spending an additional 35 Euros almost every night on the optional tour.

Peter M., Australia
The flamenco show was great. The dancers and musicians were great. Their menu was hell expensive so eat before hand or order the food package with the show through city discovery.

Daniele D., Germany
The guide was great and the entire experience wonderful. Would do it again in a heartbeat!

Marcene E., Canada
Great Cities on the stops, but did not think the choices for tours was excellant


Sheng H., Australia
We liked it and recommend it
