We would have liked more explanations, more dates although in general it was good. We believe that more events could have been told and on the part of the guide that it became more interesting. Thanks.Company's response:
Hello Angela,
We do not understand your comment when asking for more explanations. Well, it is a 2 hour guided tour full of explanations, otherwise it would not have that duration.
On the other hand, you ask for more dates and events, but we want to remind you that the visit you made is the visit to Madrid, May 2, 1808 and the date is what it is: May 2, 1808 and the events that will be explained to throughout the visit. These events took place on May 2 and 3. Of course with the pertinent introduction that is made in the visit on the previous events such as the riot of Aranjuez ... which are the precedents and the triggers of May 2 in Madrid. We cannot include more events as it is a thematic visit. To learn more about 19th century Madrid, we have other guided tours that we encourage you to discover and enjoy.
Regards.
