About this tour
A private afternoon walking tour through Madrid led by a local English-speaking guide at your own pace. You'll navigate through emblematic landmarks and lesser-known corners whilst stopping for vermouth and tapas, jamón, and queso. The longer option includes dinner at a neighbourhood restaurant. No other groups join you, so there's space to linger, ask questions, and follow your guide's local knowledge through three to seven hours exploring Spain's capital.

What to expect
Your guide will steer you through a mix of Madrid's famous sites and quieter corners, moving at a rhythm that suits your group. You'll pause at bars and delis to sample regional wines, cured meats, and cheese—the kind of eating locals actually do. Conversation flows naturally; ask anything about the city's past or present. If you've booked the longer slot, you'll end at an everyday local restaurant where you can sit down properly and eat. Mostly you're on foot, though a metro ride might feature if distances demand it.
Good to know
Food, drinks, transport, and museum entries aren't covered—budget accordingly. The route is walkable but steep hills and cobbles feature, so worn trainers help. Service animals welcome. Public transport stations are nearby if legs need a rest.
