It was a well rounded presentation on the mishaps of medicine through the aged. Well explained, and very much engaging for a total of 1 hr. Though this subject matter is more for adults. The friend that was with me, also recommended the spanish military tour as well.

Like most of these attractions there is a lot more than meets the eye. Wow, as a health professional I really appreciated the history and the knowledge of our guide and presenter. I learned so much about Spanish medicine, medical treatment and medical education for that era. This is one of those places that you would walk by a dozen times (I did) and not go in. Well, it is well worth it! They do a nice job!

Nick and his crew are stellar at customer service and storytelling. We did both the regular tour and Quackery event. Both are well worth the money and the Quackery is both OMG and funny at the same time, oh educational too. I recommend! We do this every time we vacation here and look forward to it.
