He is not only a remarkable historian about Madrid, but the whole region, and he points out sights that larger groups probably never see. He knows the secrets of avoiding the mass bus tours. He is enthusiastic and fun, and aside from walking your feet off, one must hire him during your stay. He will show you the real side in great detail, which many tours do not visit, including of course a wonderful boat tour. We had a private car that miraculously met us on the spot when we completed seeing a sight. He is highly recommended.Travel Santorinihttp://www.privatesantorinitours.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7168306439605501538.post-46133776454213801892012-04-04T14:48:32.070+02:002012-04-04T14:48:32.070+02:00Oh the sweet temptations of the holidays always le...Oh the sweet temptations of the holidays always leave that hint of guilt as an aftertaste. Anyway, I've been working on my own de-guilting for quite some time now (the lack of slips seem to be a sign of either improvement or aging).

His special anecdotes and information made the enormity of the museum manageable, plus provided an excellent introduction to Spanish history.Afterwards, we had a stroll through some of the older neighborhoods and ended up in a typical local resteraunt for lunch. Later in our trip, when we went through the Picasso museum in Barcelona, my children were very interested in Picasso's interpretation of Velasquez's works-thanks to all they learned from Mr Satt. That is a great success to me!istanbul tourshttp://www.privatetoursinistanbul.comnoreply@blogger.com
