Together with a programme full of anecdotes and local curiosities, you will immerse yourself in the history of the birth of Madrid as the capital of Spain while you personally discover the medieval locations where the most important representatives of the Spanish court lived throughout its history.
We invite you to immerse yourself in the adventure of enjoying the history of the city like a local, offering you an authentic local experience that goes a step beyond conventional free tours, with traditional routes, content and guides.
