Doing what: Madrid Super Saver: Toledo, Illuminations Evening Tour and Flamenco Show
Madrid evening tour was great. We were glad we joined the tour; Madrid is such an amazing city.

Decent tour package, but my enjoyment (or lack thereof) is correlated to the quality of the tour guides. Great sites and experiences

Doing what: Madrid Super Saver: El Escorial Monastery, Valley of the Fallen and Panoramic Madrid Sightseeing Tour
FANTASTIC!! Loved the tour and the guide was one of the best we had in Spain. She was very nice, well informed and her english was perfect. She managed to go back and forth in a timely basis in both languages so no one missed any sights or information on the tour. The El Escorial Monastery was one of the highlights of the trip. The Crypt is incredible and worth seeing as is the Fallen. I also opted for the additional afternoon sightseeing tour and got the same guide again. Such good luck! It was a quick but compehensive tour of Madrid which gave me great ideas on what to see during my visit. We also were able to get off and take photos which was great. Our guide even gave us tips on what to do during the "Austerity Strike" which worked out wonderfully so I didn't lose a day of sightseeing. This tour was money well spent!! Go, you won't be dissappointed!!

Doing what: Madrid Super Saver: El Escorial Monastery and Valley of the Fallen, Illuminations Madrid Tour and Flamenco Show
We loved the El Escorial Monastery and the Valley of the Fallen. Just like any other tour, a little more time would be nice. I guess we were not aware that there is a 4 hour time gap in between...
The Illumination Tour was very good. The Flamenco dancers are great but we (6 of us)left after watching 4 performers performed. The venue was basic and costumes were plain and our appreciation level is not sophisticated enough to stay all night. All in all, it was good value.

The evening tour was ok not what I expected (not much lit up), I could have just used my hop on and off bus ticket and gone in the evening. The flemenco show was fantastic and was worth watching, shame I couldn't take pictures.

The flamenco show was resonable enjoyable. The food was terrible and the tour and tour guide just as bad. It was a waste of time when you have so little time to spend when you are traveling Very disappointing

Doing what: Madrid Super Saver: Illuminations Evening Tour and Flamenco Show at Florida Park
The guide on the coach was very informative, we had already been on the hop-on hop-off city tour for two days but he showed us places that we hadn´t already seen and told us things we didn´t know. Commentary in English and Spanish, as only the Spanish do, they talked very loudly during the English commentary, as my Spanish is very good I understood most of what the guide said in Spanish but felt sorry for the English who didn´t. Florida Park is a superb venue, very impressive and the show was fabulous. We had opted for the dinner option. The meal was a disgrace. We had prawn Cocktail for starter, which was just okay, main meal, meat drowned in a pepper sauce and peas, carrots and silver skin onions and two potatoes. The food was cold. One bottle of red wine between 5 (although when asked for another bottle, one was bought to us). Sweet was very rich and sickly and half a glass of Cava. For the price we paid for this trip, the meal was disgusting. We watched other people who had opted for the Tapas meal, which looked far superior to ours. The coach dropped us off at our hotel which was a bonus.
