Overview of the tour in Madrid

Located in the heart of Madrid, Lavapiés and La Latina maintain their irregular layout of houses built at different heights and around a central patio: the corralas (a popular building model of the capital between the 17th and 19th centuries).

Its old commercial tradition gives its name to many of its streets and squares, such as the Plaza de la Cebada, the Plaza de los Carros or the Plaza de la Paja. But, without a doubt, the best representation of this ancient tradition is found in the Rastro: the most famous open-air market in Madrid.

These two neighborhoods, which represent the best example of Spanish tradition, have become the meeting point of very different cultures. In them, the popular legacy of Madrid coexists in perfect balance with the customs and traditions contributed by a well-settled immigrant population, arriving from different origins.

You will discover a Madrid full of life. El Rastro, its tapas, the festival of La Paloma, Las Vistillas ...

Things to note

The crisis caused by the coronavirus has forced all businesses to transform their products and services in order to offer the highest levels of safety, responsibility and quality to their customers.

Therefore, in accordance with state and regional regulations, from Arkeo Tour® we have implemented 6 essential and mandatory measures in all our activities:

1) Our guided tours are carried out only with small groups (maximum 6 people including the guide). In this way we achieve a better organization and management of the group, and a separation of at least 2 meters between each person.

2) Our itineraries have been designed to avoid possible crowds and escape from confined spaces. In addition, they are one-way tours to avoid crossing with other groups. Our guides coordinate live to share information on less crowded itineraries.

3) All of our guides have been trained in health risk prevention and the fight against coronavirus. The person in charge of the guides and the person in charge of customer service make up the Arkeo Tour® risk management committee and carry out a daily monitoring of the safety measures.

4) In all our guided tours we use voice transmission and amplification equipment. In this way, we guarantee the highest quality in the guide's explanations and we can maintain a safe distance between group members.

5) Our team uses approved masks in all our activities and is carried out in daily control of the temperature of each of the guides. Likewise, we will have hydroalcoholic gel for the use of all our users.

6) We have digitized the entire reservation service, thus avoiding the transfer of documents between people. The reservation confirmation can be downloaded from any mobile phone to show the guide at the beginning of the visit. The sending of brochures and information is now also done completely telematically.
