Hello! I'm Lexi - I was born and raised in Manchester, UK but left to travel the world when I was 17. I loved many places along the way but it was Spain that made me stay. After studying for a degree in Spanish culture and history, I became a tour guide 5 years ago sharing the stories of the city with lovely visitors like you!
Welcome to Madrid! One of Europe's most exciting yet misunderstood cities. What it lacks in famous tourist attractions, it more than makes up for in wild history, beautiful views, and exciting local stories. If you take a couple of hours to get to know Madrid, it can easily become one of your favourite cities.
Starting close to the glorious Plaza Mayor and ending at the Royal Palace, we'll walk through the charming streets of the old town to see the sights and discover the secrets of a city that stands in the middle of nowhere, miles from its neighbours.
We'll travel through the history that shaped the city, explore the food and drink traditions, and solve some local mysteries. Why did people avoid plaza mayor for decades? Why is a group of women locked inside a city centre building? Was the most defining 'accident' of Madrid's architectural story a well planned crime?
Join your new local friend and explore
and get lots of recommendations!
p.s I strongly recommend taking this tour early in your trip as there are lots of things you'll discover you want to do while you're here :)
