Additional Information

Madrid offers more than scenic views; it provides an enthusiastic and lively community feel. Join a city native on a private journey designed with your preferences in mind. You might find yourself sampling vermut at an outdoor cafe or visiting illustrious attractions like the Royal Palace and The Prado Museum. Or, you may prefer checking out some lesser-known spots? The day is entirely yours. Depending on your convenience, a quick two hours or an entire day, simply inform us about your preferred speed, and we’ll take care of everything else!

Within a day of making your booking, expect a brief questionnaire about your personality traits and interests. Your answers will assist us in pairing you with a host who shares similar tastes. Your host will reach out to you with an itinerary proposal that can help you unearth the unique aspects of Madrid. You’ll also confirm a meetup time and location. Remember, your schedule can be adjusted, so if during the tour, you suddenly decide to do something different, that’s totally acceptable.

  • We’ll be in touch within 24 hours after booking to find out more about your personality and interests so we can assign a like-minded local who can create a bespoke experience for you.
  • Your Local Host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary and agree a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience you can always change your mind about what you want to do.
  • Your Local Host may also suggest adjustments or new routes if they feel that there is something just around the corner that you may enjoy, or perhaps if the weather affects your itinerary.
  • Although you will see the main attractions in the area, your Local Host will also help you to discover the places, things and stories that you won’t find in a guidebook and that make the city unique.

Discovering Madrid's Rich Heritage: A Captivating Tour of Landmarks and Culture - Our tour of Madrid was an unforgettable experience. From the iconic Oso y el Madroño, we explored the city's history and cultural treasures. Mariña's expertise brought landmarks like the grand palace and the breathtaking opera house to life. Her captivating storytelling immersed us in Madrid's past. We enjoyed a visit to a hidden gem—a quaint taverna tucked away in a picturesque corner. It provided a perfect place to relax and savor local flavors. The tour also included a visit to the Museo de Historia de Madrid, deepening our understanding of the city's heritage. This must-do tour combined rich insights, well-chosen locations, and hidden gems. Thanks to Mariña, we left with a newfound appreciation for Madrid and an eagerness to explore more.

A great full-day tour day of Madrid - Marina was a lovely tour guide. We learned a lot about the city, and the landmarks. We only had one day to tour Madrid, and felt like we saw many highlights on our tour. A much better experience than trying to navigate the city alone, and attempt to understand the significance of the buildings and history in such a short time. Would highly recommend!

Going back! - My guide Ricky (City unscripted) was AMAZING!!! He knew so much about the history and the culture, in & outs of the city. I would have booked more time if I didn't have other plans! Going back for sure.

Private vegetarian food tour in Madrid - This was a food tour. I booked a private tour because we are vegetarians and hence felt a group tour might not be suitable. It was a nice evening out with Isabel and we tried a couple of vegan restaurants. I wouldn’t say the tour delivered value for the amount charged.

Not worth the aggravation - Marina asked to increase the tour by an hour and quoted me the price. She told me the agency wouldn’t authorize sending me a bill so I could pay her cash for the extra. I did that and was charged for the remainder of the tour as agreed. The tour was ok. Her English was poor and she had no map or pictures. Now I’m being sent a bill for a four person tour in a different country/city. I cannot express how disappointed I am. I was stupid to buckle to the pressure from her. This has been my first disappointing viator experience.

Underwhelming experience - Our guide was very professional and nice however, we basically got escorted around Madrid and merely had things pointed out to us. We didn't really learn anything and we could've done the same thing by ourselves with a map. No context, minimal history. No little surprise findings. Very different experience from our other walking tours we have done with Viator. Disappointing.
