Yesterday we took a tour with Paula. It was probably the best walking tour I’ve ever done, and I’ve done many all over the world. She was absolutely amazing. She is knowledge, energetic, enthusiastic, and has amazing speaking skills. She is cable of answering all your questions and provides outstanding recommendations (we’ve already tried 4 of her suggestions and all have been fantastic and inexpensive). If you have an interest in Flamenco you should have her book a show for you; it will be less expensive and you will have better seats than if you do it yourself. Thank you Paula for truly enhancing our stay in Madrid!
