Welcome to Madrid Walking Tour
Overview
Welcome to Madrid! One of Europe's most exciting yet misunderstood cities. What it lacks in famous tourist attractions, it more than makes up for in wild history, beautiful views and exciting local stories. If you take a couple of hours to get to know Madrid, it can easily become one of your favourite cities.
NB, we are proud not to race through the main guidebook sights churning names and dates, this is a thorough dive into the history of Madrid
An English language tour starting close to Plaza Mayor & ending at the Royal Palace, we'll stroll down charming streets of the oldest part of town, on a treasure hunt for clue to reveal the secrets of a city that stands in the middle of nowhere, miles from its neighbours.
We'll travel through the history that shaped the city, talk food and drink traditions, share recommendations and even solve a couple of local mysteries.
Spend fun couple of hours falling in love with Madrid and getting recommendations from your new local friends!
