Hola. Hemos hecho el Tour de los Austrias. Mi marido y yo hemos hecho otros Tours y decir que este ha sido el mejor de los que hemos hecho hasta la fecha. Somos de Madrid y aún así , nos ha sorprendido muchísimo todo lo nuevo que hemos aprendido de nuestra ciudad. Nuestro guía Mel, ha sido genial . Nos ha contado todo de una manera muy amena y divertida , con un montón de anécdotas . Dos horas y media de lo más agradables . Muchísimas gracias, lo hemos pasado muy bien aprendiendo. Gracias Mel ☺️
