Totally worth the time!
Not only is Edgard extremely knowledgeable, but he’s a great storyteller. He knew many interesting details about the sites we visited while sharing details of the areas where the people live and work. We stopped for coffee and a tortilla where we learned about his career path that led him to become a professional photographer. We felt like we were with an old friend. This tour is vale la pena!

Best Guide Around for Spain.
Edgard is like a big brother that will take care of everything you need while in the city and outside the city of excursions. I can't imagine a trip in Madrid without him. We practically spend the whole week with our family of 4. We went to Avila, Royal Palace, Prago museum, The El Buen Park, Toledo, Grand Via, La Latina cultural food tour and many more places. He has a van and takes care of everything you need.
