Overview

A guided walking tour with a professional local guide is the best way to learn the city's history as well as everyday life.
We meet you right at your accommodation in central Madrid. From there we explore the city following an itinerary that we establish together ahead of the tour. And orientation tour? Special focus on Royal landmarks? Maybe a tour focusing on the art museums like Prado or Reina Sophia? Or a mix of everything?
With this custom tour, you pick what you want. As you join a born-and-raised local, you make the most of all that Madrid has to offer.
You tell your guide ahead of time what you want to see and we pre-plan your perfect day in Madrid. Treat yourself to an exciting local perspective tailored to your interests. Whether you like history, art, food, or anything else, your guide will help you make the most of your time in Madrid.
