Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We absolutely loved our Prado museum family tour with Almu! She was so friendly, informative, and knowledgeable about the beautiful pieces of artwork she showed us. She engaged both our children (ages 10 and 17) in a way that made them pay attention and have fun learning about art. She is a wonderful person who seems to love very much what she does, and I will recommend her tours to anyone visiting Madrid. And if I’m fortunate enough to visit Madrid again, I will myself book another tour with her. One of the best tours we’ve done, and our children agree!

Alum passionately narrates a walking tour of Madrid’s civil war sites that brings to life the sacrifices the general public was subjected to during the Spanish Civil War. From the bullet scarred University to the site of the Florida Hotel, Alum weaves a personal story that illuminates the struggle between progressives and fascists that is still very much alive in today’s world. This tour resonates the history of the republicans’contributions to modernize life in Spain. A history which Franco’s fascist supporters continue to suppress.This tour is a must for anyone who seeks to understand the significance of the Spanish Civil War.

I took my boys, ages 12 and 14, on Almu’s 2.5-hour treasure hunt-style tour of the Prado. One of my sons doesn’t enjoy tours or art museums much, so I kept my expectations reasonable. But Almu was so engaging and brought so many visual aids that my kids (and I) were thoroughly entertained and engaged the whole time. She knows her subject matter deeply, but she also knows how to keep children engaged. The Prado is an incredible museum and I was left wanting to take my own full-day tour with Almu someday! I would recommend this experience without hesitation.

Almudena was AMAZING! She is incredibly knowledgeable, kept my 2 daughters engaged in the tour, and was professional and friendly. El Prado is huge and can be overwhelming, but thanks to Almudena we learned so much, and saw so many amazing works of art, without getting bored, tired or confused. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!!!

Fascinating tour. Almu’s passion for ensuring the story of Spain’s fight against fascism is told comes through clearly. You won’t find much mention of the Civil War elsewhere in Madrid so if you want to learn more then this is the tour to do. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.

I cannot more highly recommend this opportunity! Ms. Almu is fabulous- skilled, knowledgeable, personable, engaging. Wow! As soon as we scheduled the tour, she was so organized and helpful in getting to know our family and what we needed and then when we met up, she was so engaging! She read the kids needs very well- two of our kids have ADHD and she was so aware of what they needed, puled me aside to ask questions and had such an overall positive attitude. Moreover, my kids learned a ton! After this part of our trip was done, they transferred what they knew to visits to other museums (the colors of Mary's dress, St. Michael's wings, St. George's dragon, Mary's shape matching Jesus'...). I knew my kids were engaged during the tour but was floored by how much our kids remembered days later! The adults learned a ton too and I am so grateful for this experience. We had never done a kid tour to a museum and if only Ms. Almu could travel with us all over the world! :)

Our tour with Almu was amazing! We took our boys ages 6 and 9 for their first art history museum visit. Almu kept the boys engaged with stories and information about the art and taught them a lot about history. I personally loved the feminist viewpoint even if unintentional. It is am important thing for kids to learn about how society has changed and is changing. Again such a warm and informational experience that I would highly recommend!!!

I did the Spanish Civil War tour with my brother. Almu showed us loads of interesting sites to do with the conflict and many which still bear the bullets of the war. This is an extremely important tour and highlights the conscious ignorance of the war evident from officialdom in Spain itself.

Took this Prado Museum tour with my about-to-6-year old daughter, who has very limited background on western paintings. She really enjoyed it. After spending 2.5hrs tour with Almu, she stayed in the gallery for one more hour to just look at those paints. Prior to this tour, I was never able to keep her in any art museum for more than 60mins.

I was lucky enough to do a solo tour with Almudena. My reasons for wanting to do this tour specifically and with her is because I wanted a historical tour based on fact, not propaganda, from someone who is an expert in this area; I have a personal familial connection to Spain that is also specific to the Spanish civil war era; and lastly I studied transitional justice as part of my masters degree. This tour was better than I could have possibly expected. And Almudena is so warm that the hours passed effortlessly. I HIGHLY recommend this tour if you want the real history of this era. You won’t be disappointed.
