Well done Matt. What an interesting and entertaining tour you gave us. In a 2.5 hour tour you showed us loads of buildings and places both famous and oddly obscure on a very interesting route through the heart of Madrid. You were entertaining, fun and really knew your stuff, and what's more your English was excellent lol (note he is English but has lived in Madrid for years). We all very much enjoyed your stories of the history, places and personalities of the city. First class presentation and route, and the time flew by. One of my most memorable Guru walks (of many!).
