Emilio is passionate about his theme and gives wonderful historical and societal backgrounds to architecture and urban planning. The guided tour of the Círculo de Bellas Artes alone is magnificent. We would never have discovered the treasures of the Gran Via, which are partly hidden inside the places of mass consumption, and how much the architecture of the city as a whole was and is always an expression of the respective political system.... a thousand thanks

I had a great time with Emilio. He provides a lot of information about the city and important historical landmarks. Great value tour (history and sightseeing) of Gran Via. Madrid is such a beautiful city, and this tour helped me understand the history and culture by way of its architecture. Thank you for your time and knowledge, Emilio!
