    Great tour

    Great tour of the older part of the City. The guide was very professional and knowledgeable. IT was a bit rainy, but that didn't bother the group. I recommend this tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much ! We love to show our favorite city in the world to our customers!

    Great Private Tour of Madrid & Toledo

    My wife and I booked a 2-day tour of Madrid and Toledo for our most recent visit to Spain. We were recommended Madrid & You as a great option, and it truly was a fantastic visit. We booked and communicated with Diego over email and tailored our visit to our specific needs. He did a great job of answering questions, and was very responsive even after the tour was booked. Our guide for both Madrid and Toledo was Moises. He was great! His knowledge of both cities and the beautiful artwork in the Prado museum made the trip and tour so informative. His english was excellent and was very attentive to all of our needs. I highly recommend this tour company for anyone looking for a more tailored and personalized trip to Madrid.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your opinion and for the time spent in TripAdvisor. We have enjoyed your visit and we hope you come back to Madrid as there are thousand of possibilities to enjoy this amazing city! Thank you!

    We were lucky to be guided by Diego...

    <p>We were lucky to be guided by Diego! He managed to keep the group 3 adults and 3 kids very interested in the history and the whereabouts of the the city. Because of his humor and sophisticated personality we walked around and did a very satisfactory sightseeing without getting tired or bored! Madrid is a really really nice town and you can walk around its historical centre very easily. Our guide was also very very helpful in suggesting upcoming neighbourhoods to walk to and very nice places to dine. We followed all of his suggestions and we had a great time.<br/> Overall, this tour is really worth it, especially with such a good guide such as Diego!</p>

    Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid cost?

    +

    Prices start at $481 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 Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 38 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 Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid?

    +

    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 Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid?

    +

    Around 13 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid 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 Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid?

    +

    Included: Headsets to hear the guide clearly; Local guide; Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; and Professional art historian guide. Not included: Food and drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 281 listed pickup locations in and around Madrid. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid offered in?

    +

    Is Private Group Walking Tour: Secrets of Madrid wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
