FREETOUR.com says
Our Secret Traveller joined this tour and enjoyed its "laid-back approach to exploring a substantial amount of interesting culture & history in Madrid from the local perspective". "With a nice, small-sized group we enjoyed an interactive experience covering the main attractions, secrets and legends, and even the Bourbon Dynasty, as well as visiting Bakery House, the oldest restaurant in the world, and San Miguel Market. A really enjoyable way to see, and learn about, Madrid!"
Overview of the tour in Madrid
During this guided tour (2.5 hours) we will embark on a journey through the fascinating history of Madrid; from its foundation in the Middle Ages, to the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty that transformed the city.
Small groups: We have small groups. Maximum approximately 20 people. When the group is larger than 10 people, we will use a modern radio guide system (a wireless audio system; the guide speaks, and participants listen through earphones). You do not need to bring anything, we will provide you with disposable headphones and the radio guide system.
