Here’s an overview of your tour

They say that one can never truly appreciate a city until you wander down its streets. Join me and walk around town to hear all about its fascinating history behind some of its most iconic sights.

As a Madrid native and history lover, I can show you a side to Madrid that you'll not discover any other way. If you have any specific wishes, let me know. I can fully personalize the tour for you.

Let's kick off the tour at the plaza Isabel II. Admire the sights as we pass the Royal Palace and the Moorish Wall. We’ll complete our walk admiring the beauty of the Old City Hall, Plaza Mayor, and Puerta del Sol.

I can't wait to show you the most iconic monuments of the city while enjoying the local neighborhoods, where no tourists can be found. Hear all about the evolution since the Moorish times until now. Just remember that Madrid has relatively been untouched for centuries, and will give you an almost ancient feel.

Let's save the best for last and enjoy some delicious local tapas, beer, wine or sangria to top off your day. This will depend on the alarm situation caused by the Covid 19 and the availablity at bars and restaurants.

You’ll leave feeling like a true Spaniard!
