Overview

This walking tour of Madrid's cultural highlights unfolds like a book of folklore with your local guide and storyteller leading the way. You'll start in the very heart of Madrid at Puerta del Sol, where you'll touch the iconic "Statue of the Bear and the Strawberry Tree" before walking to Plaza Mayor to hear some mysterious tales.

Your expert guide will share lots of insight into what makes Madrid unique, from the largest royal palace in Western Europe to the prestigious Royal Theater. You'll also get an introduction to Spanish literature when you visit the statue of Miguel de Cervantes, the man behind "Don Quixote."

Get your camera ready for your final stop. This tour concludes at the Temple of Debod, an ancient Egyptian temple that dates back to 200 BC and was gifted to Spain in 1968.
