Vive Madrid Tours son los mejores para conecer los rincones de Madrid. Os lo dicen unos madrileños que a pesar de haber estado en Madrid mil veces no dejaron de sorprendernos

He hecho muchos free tours por Europa y he de decir que me sorprendió muy gratamente que José Manuel llevara una libreta con imágenes tanto del pasado como obras artísticas. Funcionaba perfectamente como una pequeña ventana al pasado, además de facilitarte el seguimiento del tour y no confundirte con las diferentes personalidades de las que hablaba. También nos encantaron sus dotes de actor y los fantásticos acentos que imitaba. Fue un tour súper entretenido ¡incluso para un adolescente de 15 años! 120% recomendable.
