Overview

Most tourists leave Madrid having seen the city. Very few leave understanding it. This tour was created for travelers who want more than just photos and monuments. Starting in the legendary Barrio de las Letras, home of Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Quevedo and Góngora, you will discover the rivalries, scandals, real secrets and hidden stories that made Madrid what it is today.

As the city unfolds before you, hidden alleyways open up into bustling plazas, medieval streets lead to ancient taverns, and places most visitors photograph without ever really seeing begin to make sense at last. Not as stops on a map. As chapters of the same story.
Our guides are storytellers, actors and artists trained to make cinematic history. This is not a lecture. It's the best two hours you'll spend in Madrid.

If it's your first day, this tour will change the way you see everything that comes after. If it's your last day, you'll board the plane knowing something most visitors never get to know.
Look for the BLUE umbrella. Limited seating.
