Our tour to El Escorial Monastery Was Excellent! We had informative guides and when we reached our destination they devided us into english and non english which was very helpful!!! We were also lucky that the Valley of the Fallen had just recently opened so were able to have a wonderful tour there as well!!!!

Raining heavily the day we went. A long walk from the coach to the El Escorial. This should be stated in the information about the trip because for people with mobility problems, it is totally unsuitable. The whole experience was exhausting for us, as we both have hip and knee problems. Felt the guide was constantly rushing us. Then on to the Valley of the Fallen, which is in a beautiful setting, unfortunately with the rain and the mist, we weren´t able to fully take in the beauty of the place, Yet again we were rushed around by the guide. Would have liked more time here to truly reflect on the place. Would like to return but without a guide. The guide was very knowledgable but there was information in English all the way round, so would have preferred to do this at our own pace.
