From Madrid to the sky

That saying defines Madrid like no other. It is something like, in Madrid like nowhere else. And it's true. That's why we want to show you it. The best way to get to know a city is to walk around every corner of it and enjoy it as a local would. The best way to do this is to have it shown to you. With our city Tour in partnership with WOLVES TOURS, you have the opportunity to join us for two fun tours where we explore Madrid by walking it with two different perspectives. The idea is not only to explore Madrid, the capital of Spain, but to understand it in a more historical way and a more contemporary way. With our two tours the classical tour and the modern tour we will show you Madrid, from the most famous sites to its hidden corners as well as its prominent figures, and the most important facts about the capital. Both tours are in English.

Take into account these important details for both tours: MEETING POINT: outside the Apple store in Puerta del Sol. IDENTIFICATION: you will find the guides with microphones and Wolves Tours identification credentials. Don't get confused with other tours, as there are many out there, but the one that's worth it, the best one, is this one. FREE TOUR CONCEPT: like many walking tours in Europe, this is a Free walking tour. We call it free, as you're free to decide how much to pay for it at the end of your experience, which means you don’t pay upfront but you pay the guide what you think is fair, when the tour finishes to show your appreciation.
