Madrid
See Madrid through the eyes of someone who calls it home—uncovering its hidden corners, vibrant culture, and untold stories with a passionate local by your side. This isn’t just a tour—it’s a City Unscripted experience: real people, real connections, designed around you, full of authentic moments and unforgettable discoveries. Before your adventure begins, you’ll receive a short online Personalization Form so we can craft an itinerary that reflects your interests—whether it’s exploring historic plazas, tasting local flavors, or finding tucked-away neighborhoods only locals know. Here are some highlights to spark your curiosity:
Pass by, no stop
Puerta del Sol
Begin your day in the heart of Madrid at its most symbolic square. Learn the story behind the city’s “Kilometer Zero” point, then follow your host through nearby streets, alive with local shops, street performers, and vibrant café terraces that capture everyday life.
Pass by, no stop
Plaza Mayor
Step into one of Madrid’s grandest squares, framed by red-brick arcades and ornate balconies. Once a bustling marketplace and setting for royal celebrations, it remains a timeless symbol of the city’s history and communal spirit.
