Tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Alcala. Sometimes a little difficult to understand the English but he was helpful to repeat. Would recommend
Short walking tour. I was the only one so David, in addition to giving a great history of the place and pointing out its highlights wasn able to answer all my questions. We did not go inside the Cathedral or University or Cervantes" birth place, but you could do all that on your own. On the whole it was a very relaxing and educational toir. Alcala de Henares is a beautiful city, loaded with a lot of history and culture. David was an excellent guide.
David was wonderful, very knowledgeable. And Alcala de Henares is absolutely beautiful, a must if you're visiting Madrid!
David was a wonderful tour guide of Alcalá de Henares! He definitely knew the history of the area. He offered our tour in English which was understood perfectly by my husband who only spoke English. We appreciated his humor and the recommendations of places to visit with more time. I wish we had done the tour on our first day in Alcalá de Henares!
Our guide, David, was great! Only his third tour in English and he did wonderfully. Very knowledgeable. Clearly loves the city of Alcalá de Henares! Would definitely recommend him as guide!
I booked it through Guru Walk and the guide Samuel was great with his explanations
Good experience with Samuel, he gave us an enjoyable tour and it is clear that he knows his city in every aspect. Totally recommended
Friendly and enjoyable guided tour
The tour is super well explained and is very complete, very very professional
Very attentive and gives you very exact details of the history of Alcalá.
Excellent explanations and a very good time.
Carmen was great! Information presented in an easily digestible way. Addressed the questions very well. Personally, I did not need any more historical information, otherwise the tour would have become too stiff for me. This kept the tour lively. Thanks for that.
Spectacular. The whole experience was absolutely magnificent. David, the guide, is charming: friendly, professional, and with a way of conveying knowledge that makes you enjoy every moment. You can see that he enjoys his work and that he is always willing to help you and tell you everything in detail. I went with my father and I had a very good time. A beautiful experience.
We were delighted with the guided tour of Alcalá, led by Samuel. Very professional guides from minute one of the first contact until the end of the activity. Without a doubt, we will count on them again in the future. Thank you!
Very pleasant and interesting, both the route and our guide's explanations. The duration of the tour is very appropriate, and it allows for completing the route through the main points of interest in the historic center.
Interesting tour with good information about Alcala University and its role in the city's history. Suitable and nice guide.
Very good experience in Alcalá de Henares
Very enjoyable and pleasant and very professional, you get a great idea of the city!!!!
Excellent experience and David was a fantastic guide, so I highly recommend his tour.
The tour was entertaining, educational, and the tour guide was nice. I enjoyed it and would also be interested in longer tours.
Very good tour! I would do it again! David's guide service was excellent ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We had a great time, we learned a lot!
The guide explained it very well...the bad thing is the company...if you don't give them the money they think you should, being a free tour...they send you WhatsApps throwing it in your face...we will not return
I recommend it! The guide was Samuel and we liked the explanation, very pleasant!
It is gratifying to meet a young person who wants to share with others what they feel about their own cultural heritage. David engagingly teaches the birth and development of the Complutense University based on the work and legacy of Cardinal Cisneros, through the Golden Age. Through his guidance, I have learned what life and the university environment were like, why the university building is as it is, what functions its different areas served, the symbolism (which conveys both the presence of religious and political power associated with it, as well as the ideological and philosophical foundations that give it meaning), among other issues. It has been almost two hours of lively conversation learning why Alcalá is a World Heritage Site, and why Cisneros is such an important figure for the city and Spain.
Well-organized tour full of interesting facts. Perfect for an introduction to the city.
Good experience with David. Very professional, attentive, very knowledgeable. The experience was very positive. The negative part was that the couple who shared the tour was very stingy regarding the tip. It was ugly, uncomfortable, and very unfair
Awesome, David!!!! He gave us a very pleasant tour of Alcalá de Henares.
I loved the experience. Samuel made the tour very pleasant and interesting. Totally recommendable.
Samuel, our guide, being from Alcalá, knows every corner of Alcalá perfectly and explains it in detail. He makes the visit very interesting and enjoyable!
Super interesting! Samuel told us for an hour and a half a lot about the history of Alcalá de Henares, making it very enjoyable and fun.
The visit was very good, with a lot of historical information, curiosity, and good vibes.
It is truly worth having professionals like Samuel explain Alcalá de Henares to you.
Excellent experience, 100% recommended. Do not hesitate to book this guided tour with David.
Very pleasant and the use of humor for historical explanations
Fantastic free tour of Alcala de Henares with David. An Alcalaino who explained in a very pleasant way the whole tour giving us even the most unimaginable details of that wonderful city. 100% recommended.
The visit has been very enriching thanks to Samuel, our guide
A good visit with David, very enjoyable, with a good mix of history and popular wisdom. Highly recommended
A personalized tour very well organized by the guide Samuel. It is very appreciated that the tour was carried out with only one person Highly recommended.
Very interesting and fun.
Samuel has been a very interesting guide. I recommend this tour very nice!!!
Samuel explained everything great and was very kind. We have learned many things! Thank you.
Entertaining tomorrow knowing a little more about the history of Alcalá de Henares and its illustrious characters. Samuel explained a lot about it.
Very interesting visit. Thanks to Samuel we have learned the history and curiosities of Alcala de Henares.
Very nice visit, I would definitely recommend it. Thank you David 😊
It was a very good experience, I loved it and I will repeat. . David has explained everything phenomenal and mastering the themes throughout. That was super nice.
Magnificent tour that is very worth doing. Great and enjoys the attention and instructive and commendable knowledge of David. I encourage you to take the tour
It has been a great experience about a city known for other topics, but which, at the same time, was a great stranger to us. And David did a magnificent job in that regard. He discovered in a way the remarkable points (that are not few) of the historical city, touring them, and doing it in a very sympathetic way, and answering at all times the questions that arose.
The tour with David was very enjoyable. A great connoisseur of Alcalá’s history transmits it with passion, which makes you enjoy the visit. Highly recommended.
