The guided walk is included, but sherry and a tapa cost extra; moderate fitness is required. 5 from 52 reviews at €45 per person for 2h 45m. In our comparison: #10 of 22 in Walking Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview An immersive, unique tour experience in the history, culture, and traditions of Madrid and Spain.
