A horse knelt before a mosque, and behind a sealed wall, a lamp had supposedly burned for 300 years. That's the kind of city Toledo is — impossible stories stacked on top of each other, all true. This self-guided walking tour of Toledo uses an app to guide you through 21 stops across three civilizations: Roman foundations beneath Arab arches beneath Gothic towers. You'll visit the only surviving mosque from a city that once had ten, and see the painting El Greco used to take revenge on the king who rejected him. The audio tour works offline, so you can pause for marzipan from cloistered nuns or linger at a medieval bridge — no group schedule, no fixed start time. If you'd rather explore at your own pace, stopping when a story grabs you instead of when a guide says so, this is built for you. Over 20,000 travelers have used our self-guided tours, and a full refund guarantee means there's nothing to lose.

    Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.

    How much does Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App cost?

    +

    Prices start at $6 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 Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 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 Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App?

    +

    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 Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App?

    +

    Around 1 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App 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 Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App?

    +

    Included: 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: If you don’t love the tour, write to us for a full refund; 1-year access to audio on iOS & Android. Listen to the tour anytime, as many times as you; Audio and written guide included; Offline access to the tour (no internet connection needed) once tour is downloaded; and Images to identify stops and in app interactive map for navigation. Not included: Any physical devices or headphones; and Human tour guide at location. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian, Portuguese, English, Italian, Polish, French, Dutch 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 Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App?

    +

    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.

    What happens to Madrid Old Town Self Guided Tour with Mobile App if the weather is bad?
