More than fifteen guided walks, tip-based, through central Madrid: Habsburg Madrid, the Barrio de las Letras and the Golden Age, medieval Madrid up to the Temple of Debod, Bourbon Madrid with Gran Vía, Cibeles, the Puerta de Alcalá and the Retiro, the Civil War, Malasaña and Chueca, the mysteries of the Inquisition and a night-time walk. They last from 1 h 15 min to 2 h 30 min and stay outdoors, with no tickets to pay.
They run in Spanish and English, and several departures also in French, Italian or Portuguese. Most need between 3 and 5 people signed up for the tour to go ahead, and the online booking is confirmed instantly, with a QR pass.
Almost all start in the centre: the Puerta del Sol (next to Kilometre Zero or the Bear and the Strawberry Tree), the Plaza Mayor, the Plaza del Callao, the Plaza de Ópera or the Plaza de San Ildefonso, in Malasaña. Each listing shows its exact point and how to recognise the guide.
There are departures in the morning (at 11:00), in the afternoon (at 17:00 and 18:00) and at night (at 20:00), depending on the tour. The shortest is the 75-minute express, in English, and the Habsburg Madrid tour, of about 2 h 20 min, leaves every day.
The online booking is 2 € per person and the tour is tip-based: at the end you hand the guide whatever you find fair, with no minimum. It is not free: you decide the price when it ends.
Almost all are suitable for reduced mobility and for bringing a pet; on several, bookings are for up to 10 people.
