You can see Madrid in a day. I'd rather you saw three hours of it, slowly.

— Yves

I built every tour around one idea: slowing down. Madrid isn’t a collection of landmarks — it’s a city where history, culture and everyday life sit on top of each other, and that only opens up at a pace where you can actually hear each other.

That’s why I cap the group: the question you just asked still gets answered before the next square — the route is a frame for it, not a list to recite. English year-round, French or Spanish in private. That’s the whole mechanism.

BEFORE YOU WRITE

What you might be wondering.

Why book here instead of a tour platform?
Because you’re booking the founder directly — no middleman, no platform reselling the tour, no commission padded into the price. You write to me, I answer, and I’m the one who shows up to guide it. That’s the whole point of a tour this small.

8 guests max on every open tour, by rule. That’s about a third of what most walking tours in the city run. The small group is the whole point — I can answer questions, slow the pace down, and adjust the route a bit if the group wants. Private tours start at 4; up to 8 you book online, and larger families or groups I arrange on request.

Open tours run in English. Private tours, you pick — English, French, or Spanish. I grew up between Madrid, Algiers, and Casablanca, so the three feel native.

Private tours run from 4 guests and adapt to you. Each runs daily at a fixed time — the walking tour at 9:30 AM, the bike tour at 3 PM — unhurried, about two and a half to three hours. You set the pace and the language — English, French, or Spanish — and I shape the route around what you want to see: food and tapas, art, family-friendly, or a bit of everything. Up to 8 you can book straight from the tour page; if you’re a larger family or group of friends, write to me and I’ll arrange it.

Light rain, we ride. It’s Madrid — rain rarely lasts long. Bike tours come with rain ponchos. Walking tours have plenty of arcades and barrio bars to wait it out under cover. If the weather turns truly bad — storm, ice, anything unsafe — I reschedule or refund minus the payment processing fee (the card processor charges that up front and doesn’t refund it to me). You’ll hear from me before the tour starts.
Two starting points depending on the tour. Bike tours start at C. de los Jardines, 12 — I’m outside Trixi Bike Shop with the Dinamo sign, 10-15 minutes before start. Walking tours start at Plaza de Isabel II, at the Opera metro exit — same sign, same window.
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the tour starts — full refund minus the payment processing fee. (The card processor charges that fee when you book and doesn’t refund it to me when you cancel — usually 2-3% of the booking total.) Less than 24 hours before the tour, and no-shows, no refund.

Didn’t see your question? Just message me — I reply within 12 hours — usually sooner.

IF YOU'RE STILL HERE

Let's start with a chat.

If you want to talk it through first — dates, the group, bike or walking — write to me. I’ll answer it myself.
