10 AM Meet your host in the hotel lobby
Whether you love culture, monuments, history, nature, Spanish gastronomy or going out, Madrid has it all. Madrid is a vibrant city full of energy. After London and Berlin, Spain's capital is the largest city in Europe. There's no better way to get to know the authentic Madrid than being guided by a local.
Experience the real ins and outs of Madrid. Stroll through the city's wonderful old streets, visit a food market like Mercado de la Paz or Mercado de San Miguel, and possibly visit an artisan or architectural studio. Discover the best spots in the city with your local host. Art galleries, fashion boutiques, hidden squares, local food markets, designer shops, grand architectural buildings complemented by history and interesting stories. Learn about the Madrid lifestyle by trying local delicatessens with a local resident. The idea is to give you a taste of what life would be like if you moved to this wonderful city and to get a deep insight into how the people of Madrid live.
A completely different experience away from the mass tourist routes. You will also visit Malasaña, the neighbourhood that hides the last bastion of Madrid's resistance against the French during the battle of 2 May 1808 which today is the symbol of the strength and determination of the people of Madrid. But today, Malasaña is much more than its history, as it has become in recent years the youngest, most modern and most colourful neighbourhood in the city. Visit the Madrid History Museum, hear about the extraordinary events that gave the Plaza del 2 de Mayo its name, have some of the most excellent tapas in the city, discover incredible architecture spanning four centuries, and learn about what life in Malasaña was like in the late 19th century.
Your private host will take you to places you won't be able to discover on your own and show you the most unique hidden gems. Recount the incredible stories about this magnificent city and walk through the city alongside the most amazing buildings and art. Don't miss wine and tapas at the best spots in the city on this exclusive tour.
1.30 PM Return transfer to the hotel.
