Overview

Explore the origins of Madrid on this 2.5-hour walking tour, and learn the history of the Spanish capital from its foundation by the Muslims to the arrival of the Bourbon Dynasty.

Discover the narrow streets of the Old Town and hear fascinating stories about Madrid history, in lieu of boring facts and figures.

Marvel at the majestic Royal Palace of Madrid.

A small group of maximum 10 people allows for a much more comfortable, flexible, and engaging experience. It’s easier to move around the city, access places that larger groups cannot, and enjoy a more relaxed pace with time for questions and interaction.
