“I really enjoyed this tour. David was a great guide, he was funny and informative and did a good job keeping everyone organized and safe. You get the chance to see a lot of different sites while getting some exercise and feeling the energy of the city. Madrid is very hot right now but it's pretty manageable on the tour. I'd say definitely being a bottle of water with you. The physicality level is probably in between low and medium. The ground is sometimes bumpy and sometimes you're going uphill a bit so if you are not in good shape it could maybe be a little challenging for a few…”
