Nos encantó!!!! No conociamos esta historia cultural de Madrid, es muy interesante. Muy enriquecedora la experiencia con Roi que nos contó mucho más de lo que esperábamos, una compañía muy amable y gentil para hablar de todo y más, sabe de mucha historia y cultura en general. Estamos muy agradecidas por lo aprendido, la paciencia y lo divertido que ha sido Roi con nosotras. Volveremos a repetir seguro si estamos por Madrid. Muchas gracias!!! Natalia y Norma.
