Fue un tour muy entretenido y didáctico, el guía fue muy atento y se paró en los sitios más referentes de la historia lgtbi. Además nos recomendó sitios para comer y salir de ocio en la ciudad. Repetiría sin dudarlo

Un tour que se convirtió en experiencia. Conocer Madrid desde una visión que contemplaba la historia de su lucha por los derechos LGTBIQ+ conectó conmigo emocionalmente más de lo que hubiese podido imaginar.
