This tour had the potential to be amazing and whilst I understand that there is nothing that can be done re fog, the mountain was covered, so we could not see as much as I would have liked at the Valley of the Fallen. Inside was still beautiful and as I said, there is nothing you can do about the elements. El escorial was great and I wonder if we had done the Valley first we may have missed the fog. This tour was sold as with an English speaking guide.''. Unfortunately what we got was a Spanish speaking guide with enough English to give one sentence descriptions. He also would point something out in Spanish and after we had driven past, the description in English was given (so too late!) Disappointed as I felt the guide (who never gave us his name and consistently checked his "look" in mirrors, windows etc), was there doing a job only. He had no interest in his audience and even walked so fast that he left a couple behind, and then they had to pay for a taxi back to the bus as they were unable to find their way back.

Valley of the fallen Cathedral cut into the stone of the mountain was amazing. It is truly a must see.

This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. El Escorial is magnificent in every way. The final resting place of former kings and queens was my favorite part. The Valley of the Fallen’s modern architecture, while appearing to imitate religious buildings, provides its own stark and impressive commentary on Franco’s narcissistic purpose. Our guide, Mayte was simply wonderful. Her commentary on both places we visited really made them come alive.

Tour operator messaged me saying couldn’t go on the day I had booked. So, I made other plans. Then, La Vacanza Travel messaged saying it was available after I had spent money on something else. I want a refund!!!

The royal crypt in El Escorial was amazing and the huge underground basilica at the Valley of the Fallen was an impressive surprise.
