A walking tour of Madrid is the cheapest guided format in our catalogue: the 22 tours here start at €3 for a two hour night walk through the old town's Inquisition history, told by a costumed storyteller, and every one was picked by hand with a rating of 4.5★ or higher. The daytime options run from a 2.5 hour private or semi-private walk through old Madrid's streets and squares at €45 to walking tours in Madrid that pair the route with the Royal Palace or the Prado as skip the line combos.
The honest note: pure walking tours cover the monuments from the outside, entries are separate tickets, and the food-flavored walks with tastings live in our tapas section. The best reviewed walking tours of Madrid come first below.
