Lost and found in Madrid
Download the tour and test it while at your hotel. While following along, follow the blue dot on your screen and you'll be fine! Definitely some hidden gems. The last part, a walk through a park was my favorite as it provided the best view of the Royal Palace
Response from the operator: Hi Billie 😊 Thank you so much for your review! So happy you enjoyed the tour — and great tip about testing it at the hotel first 🙌 Thanks again for choosing Toury! 🇪🇸🎧

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $11 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.
Is Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Madrid?
+
On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Madrid?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Madrid?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour?
+
Included: Podcast-style tour on the Toury app, with images and a smart map that changes color as you; and Local bar and food tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour?
+
Go to the Bear Statue at Puerta del Sol, to start the tour. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Discover Madrid's Hidden Gems on Walking Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
