Fantastic Spanish Inquisition Tour With Daniel

Published on Jan, 2025

We took the English-speaking Spanish Inquisition tour in Madrid. Daniel did a FANTASTIC job taking us to interesting and historically meaningful parts of the city. He engaged with everyone in the group and really brought the stories to life. We had so much fun we are thinking about booking another Mysterium tour in Barcelona later in our trip. Five stars.

Learned a lot and had fun.

Published on Jan, 2025

Daniel was fantastic! I learned a lot and had a great time. His knowledge of not just the immediate subject but also Madrid history was extensive, he kept the group engaged and overall it was totally fun. I'd do it again. I really loved how he made the incidents in Madrid's history come alive by the way he presented the subject. However, Things happened in history that were kind of gruesome.

Loved this experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

I took this tour with my two adult daughters. Not recommended for young children. Daniel was our tour guide and storyteller He speaks fluent English as his family is from the US. But also, being a Madrid native, he’s fluent in Spanish and has a great deal of knowledge about the city. He is also a great and fun storyteller. Additionally, there’s a big plus to taking this tour as you get to see areas of Madrid at night that many other tours don’t get to. Even though it’s a two hour tour, you don’t really walk for two hours as you stop at all these “ghosted” places to listen to the many legends that abound. Highly recommend Daniel and this tour. Please be kind and tip well. He put a lot of effort to make the experience very enjoyable. I saw some tourists in our group who left without tipping at all. Very disappointed in them.

Great
