★★★★★Kevin

This tour is very unique and interesting. Lisa was a fantastic host who knew so much about the history and culture of Las Ventas.

★★★★★Gabby

Lisa from Let's Go Madrid is lovely, easy to get along with, and knows the bullring very well. We learned a lot and she answered all of our questions. She is charismatic and truly made our visit so enjoyable. It was the best tour we did in Spain! Especially because her English is easy to understand. You can tell she cares about her guests. She is also friends with many of the staff, so we got insider information from them too. 10/10.

★★★★★Roy

Lisa is everything a tour guide should be and more! She was an incredible guide, very knowledgeable, and answered every question we asked. The history of bullfighting was so much more than I expected, and I left happy to have learned so much. If you are thinking about touring this place, don't hesitate to book with her.
