Literary Madrid Walking Tour

Overview of the tour in Madrid

All kinds of colorful characters have lived in its narrow streets and bustling squares, many of whom served to inspire the greats of Spanish literature, such as Lope de Vega, Francisco de Quevedo, Luis de Góngora or Miguel de Cervantes himself.

From the hand of noblemen, ladies, merchants and priests out of the books, we will show you an impressive cultural and leisure offer and a Madrid that you did not know.

Learn about part of our history and our literature on this guided tour of the so-called Barrio de las Letras, a place where art and talent are still breathed.

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 completely digitized the reservation service, thus avoiding the transfer of documents. 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.
