Madrid

Sorry but we could not get our picture/sound sorted. It was our first tour and we are trying again tonight, 

Greatbtrip.  Most interesting  with lots of detai.  l I felt that Iwas walking along the road with guide .  Such magnificent architeture, beautiful street and delcious looking food in th shop he took us into.

Thank you, Jorge! Great visit inside the restaurant/market! Very informative!


Jorge was excellent - Great English and narrative !! Thank you Jorge !

Such an enjoyable trip, fantastic to see a bit of normal life, people enjoying the sunhine, and the food looked spectacular! Really interesting, Jorje's enthusiasm and knowledge made it all come to life. Many thanks for an excellent trip.


Jorge is well-spoken and well-informed.  I enjoyed every minute of this tour -- it had architecture, history, a bit of shopping, and a bit of nature.

The historical information was very good, but need a bit more.  Suggestions:  I would include more time/information on the Columbus monuments and less on the opening shots of the Columbus statue, Paseo de la Castellana, etc.  This would also provide more time for the glitzy parts and shops of Serrano.  

Once again your tour guide never disappoints, enjoyed the history on this tour. THANK YOU 

An informative tour of Columbus Square and an opportunity to view the Colombus memorial sculptures. The sculptures include many references to the voyage as well as symbolism. Afterwards a quick side-trip to a cafe to enjoy some local treats. A fun tour.

Wifi Signal came and went frequently which was very distracting

Excellent tour,Jorge is a  very knowledgeable tour guide 

Very interesting tour with Jorge in Madrid. Showing us the monoliths and telling us about the history and the expensive designer shops too. Thankyou so much

Infortunately we had to leave as someone came to the door but until then I was very impressed with Jorge.😉

Very knowledgeable  clear audio and photography

Jorge was very passionate about showing us points of interest around Columbus Square in  Madrid.

I look forward to seeing more of Madrid with him

Wonderful Tour. I have to watch it again 

Thank-you so much for all the stories, historical facts and wonderful walkabout the city, Jorge. My family and I hope to join you again in these interesting virtual trips! 👍📷

Interesting history of Colombus and elegant buildings of Madrid

Giving a rating of three because hard to take pics because of Pointer always in pics.  Jorge does set up postcard pics but I wish to take other pics & always get the pointer in my pics. Hard to take pics or see things sometimes because camera swings around quickly or Jorge turns camera to his face. Very sorry to leave negative comments but I've taken a couple of his trips & same issues. 

Very interesting tour. Curious how Spain is viewing colonialist history now.   Also I know this is silly but it would be fun to have a “cable girls” tour of sites they used to film. 

Jorge was fun and very clear to understand in English. His camera was excellent quality. He was one of the best tours. I got the history but it wasn't too deep, which he held my attention.

Another great tour in Madrid with Jorge.  Can't wait to join the night-time one !

Great knowledge of the city and its history. Entertaining tour guide

Exceptional English!
Very informative, great sense of humour and gave us ample opportunity for pictures. I will find Jorge again.

It’s a wonderful tour. I would enjoy to see again. It be even greater if the tour was at a tad slower pace just to have better opportunities for postcards. I would have liked to see more of the Columbus Statue and more time and closeup of all names of countries that left a time capsule 

Thank you Jorge for another fantastic tour

I enjoyed it , and the talk was clear and easy to follow.   A little hard to see at times , as darkness fell, but  I felt as if  I were back in Madrid.

Would it be possible for Jorge to do a tour of Malaga?   


  

I was really enjoying your tour but had to leave abruptly as I had to attend to one of my family.

Nice clear voice. Will look for him again

Jorge is a wonderful tour guide. His depth of knowledge and experience are immediately obvious and his enthusiasm is very contagious. Can’t wait for my next tour of Madrid!

Always a fun and interesting tour with Jorge! This was wonderful and so interesting to see it in the evening with the lights. Just wonderful. Love Jorge's humour and spirit... so fun!

Jorge makes his tours delightful. He clearly love his job and loves people.  I am learning so much about Madrid.

Very informative and entertaining.  Thanks for giving us a chance to take pictures. 

Very informative explaining historical details of monuments etc and showing life as it is for the public  during the pandemic

Another great tour.  It is so enjoyable to be in majestic Madrid with you. Thank you!

Good diction, very interesting content, I loved this tour x

Jorge is so pleasant and personable.  Really enjoyed this tour with him.  

Excellent knowledge of facades, city .. gave us a feel for elegance
Thank you so much

An interesting tour with Jorge looking at parts of Madrid that we’d not seen before. The pointer stick was a good idea. Sometimes I needed a little longer for my postcards but most were fine. Spaniards are lucky that they’re suffering the same lockdown as the Brits – shops open, no real signs of social distancing. Thanks Jorge, we look forward to the tour’s continuation. 

thank you Jorge. This has beean my first virtual trip. I have been to many countries but never got tosee Spain and may not ever get  a chance so this is lovely to walk along the streets and squares with you.  I am glad that I am starting with Madrid. Columbus Square is very beautiful and still so modern.
You brought some humour into your presentation as waell. thank you. Dianne

Wonderful information, photo stops and engaging banter

Great tour great man lots of knowledge too 

Jorge is a very good presenter but I found the material a bit dry. 

Beautiful tour, Jorge is so knowledgeable and provided great detail about what you are seeing. 

Brilliant!! Our first trip....we will look forward to the next one! Thank you!

Another great tour Jorge.  Full of information, interesting facts and anecdotes.  Thank you and VT!

A fount of knowledge t explain the wonderful sights. 

Thanks Jorge from your Mississauga fan club!  Great tour.

Great tour. Perhaps a little too long spent on the Columbus monument, interesting though it was. Otherwise, very good.

Fantastic detail to the tour 
Thank you so much it was our first tour and we would now like to do more exploring 

Jorge was a great tour guide.  Had a very enjoyable experience. Thank you

With unerring good taste and a sense of elegance, Jorge introduces us to his beautiful city in all its glory.  Any tour with him  will prove to be rewarding.

This was my very first tour. I appreciated Jorge’s knowledge and expertise. Fantastic!

Wonderful guide with great sense of humour.

I highly recommend him!  Extremely knowledgeable

Great guide with a wealth of knowledge.  It's nice that Jorge frames the views in order for us to capture the splendor of the city. 

Very good and interesting to listen to. I am a new comer to the site. Will sign up again and have a better review by then. Thank you.

This was an awesome tour, thank you very much, Jorge!! I learned so much today and loved the postcard opportunities. You are honest, knowledgeable and a pleasure to tour with. Many thanks for a wonderful tour!! I hope to return to Spain one day!!

This man deserves 10 stars. I never realized that Madrid was such a beautiful, fascinating city. I really hope that I get the chance to visit one day.

Another very enjoyable tour. I feel like I am beginning to know the city centre a little after many years. See you again soon. Nancy

The history about Columbus was very interesting.  Thank you.

Jorge is very good at explaining history, how people live now, etc. I really enjoy traveling with Jorge. He is very personable....I would like to meet him personally, but that is not possible. Next best thing is going on a tour, and seeing his photos on Instagram and Facebook. Gracias Jorge, from Green Valley Arizona. Hasta luego 


Great tour of the most elegant part of Madrid. All Jorge's tours are great and I wish he would add some more
