Enrique is a wonderful guide- knowledgable, interesting and very entertaining. We loved his introduction to Madrid, as he gave us a fantastic overview of the city, and showed us both historical sights as well as modern hipster Madrid- loved the Ramones fan club, and the stories of taverns and the joys of vermouth. I would highly recommend this tour- its a blast.
