The Tour

On the free Madrid walking tour Highlights, you will walk with us through the small and hidden streets of the Spanish capital. Madrid has a lot of history, from the Moorish empire…dynasties… to the rule of Napoleon and the war for independence. All of them left some kind of influence on the city and its architecture.

Discover Madrid from different epochs with us. We will tell you all about the most important historical sites of Madrid and about its kings and royals.

If you are one of those people fascinated by history and legends and always want to learn more, and you would like to hear more about the Spanish capital, we can recommend you to join our Free Walking tour Madrid Essentials every day at 11:00 AM.

  • And well after you have done both walking tours (Essential and Highlights) the only thing you have to do its seat in a terrace and enjoy the Madrid’s life…… maybe with a good glass of sangria or tinto de verano!

Our guide Fernando explained the story of spain in a very fun way and at the same time showed us the most important spots in Madrid. He also gave us hints about where to eat, see a flamenco show and do shopping. I would definitely suggest this free tour.

Paula is the BEST GUIDE. I loved it. A lot of information and great energy! The tour was long, so bring water - and we got to try a shot of madroño drink! Very delicious!
Paula was an awesome guide tour! She was very knowledgeable of Madrid’s history. She was also very considerate with the tour pace and picked shaded spots or even where one could sit for a moment. She was very engaging and kind. Thank you for such great tour!

Yesterday we took a tour with Paula. It was probably the best walking tour I’ve ever done, and I’ve done many all over the world. She was absolutely amazing. She is knowledge, energetic, enthusiastic, and has amazing speaking skills. She is cable of answering all your questions and provides outstanding recommendations (we’ve already tried 4 of her suggestions and all have been fantastic and inexpensive). If you have an interest in Flamenco you should have her book a show for you; it will be less expensive and you will have better seats than if you do it yourself. Thank you Paula for truly enhancing our stay in Madrid!
