Tour description

Walk with me through the most essential spots of Madrid, where you will discover the true origins of this capital city - from its past of fire and water to the same landscape that powerful kings, from the miraculous saints and attractive bandits roamed, to the town of palace intrigues and plebeian cliques, the squares of unjust executions and the corners of furtive romances, the place of war and reconstruction. . . the Madrid of yesterday and the Madrid of today!

This is the Madrid that I live in, my neighborhood and the place that I ever wanted to be so come join in me on this tour, where you will be with a guide that lives, works and walks in the city. You can't miss my Free Tour in Madrid!

Tour was awesome! Kwame is very knowledgeable and explained us a lot about Madrids Old Town. We liked that he included the relevant historical facts as well as some fun facts. We were also able to ask lots of questions and he had some great recommendations. Would definitely recommend this tour!

We were instructed to arrive at the square 10 minutes before and look for a yellow umbrella. Unfortunately, after 25 mins we could not find Kwame. We contacted him through the app, but there is no reply (even after 6 hours). Our group was on a very short schedule and we were extremely disappointed. Overall, our plans to tour Madrid were totally spoiled.
