Welcome to Madrid! One of Europe's most exciting yet misunderstood cities. What it perhaps 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. This English language tour starts close to the Plaza Mayor and ends at the glorious Royal Palace. We're always a small, friendly group of travellers led by a historian. No microphones, crowds or wikipedia style facts but a fun, personalised adventure. We'll stroll down charming streets to see the sights of the oldest part of town to uncover the stories of Madrid and discover the soul of a city that stands in the middle of nowhere, miles from its neighbours. We'll explore the history that shaped the city, find out some local food and drink traditions, and even solve a couple of mysteries. I'll give you heaps of recommendations to ensure you can confidently eat, drink and live the city like a local whilst supporting the small businesses that keep Madrid such a vibrant, homely city. I strongly recommend taking this tour early in your trip to take full advantage of the recommendations I can give you :) If the time or date you'd like is unavailable or you have any problems with booking, just drop me a message and we'll see what we can do!

We will visit some well known sites and also hidden gems. Tours are only in language at a time. As a driving force and mirror and of the history, culture and art of Spain but also of Europe, along the tour the past will come to life. From the Muslim influence to the austere North European of the Hapsburg and the glamour of the Bourbons, the city is an enthralling mix of cultures. You will discover how a fort of the IX century became the capital of an Empire. In Madrid great stories arise in every corner. This is the city that governed more than half of America and large areas of the world, produced some of the best artists and writers of all time but also struggled with crime, a Napoleon invasion and a Civil War. Along the tour we will visit the city center and the old town through another perspective finding along the way beautiful buildings, hidden corners as meaningful details and misteries and stories that will help us understand the evolution and character of the capital. My goal is that at the end of the tour you will not only see some of the most beautiful and meaningful sites and also less well known great spots, but also understand their deep meaning and how modern Madrid is the result of a series of unexpected events, conquests, successes, catastrophes and contradictions that create a unique urbanism, heritage and culture with great impact in Western culture.

Starting in the iconic and central Puerta del Sol, we will start exploring Barrio de las Letras, an important local neighbourhood of Madrid, nowadays, a chic bohemian area. You will discover this charming neighbourhood's historical spots on your way towards the Prado Museum. Once we arrive at the Museum, we will skip the queue, entering directly.

The Museum collection includes Love, Mythology and mysterious legends that would be fun to share with you. After the visit, you can stay in the Museum as long as you wish! An important thing: Please bring an ID with you as we might be asked for one at the Museum.
