What to expect
The start: a tour built around your family
Your guide meets you in the historic center and takes a minute to get to know your crew. Because the tour is private, the pace, the stories, and the games all flex to your kids' ages and energy. No group to follow, no strangers to wait for, just your family and a guide who's glad to have you.
Kings, explorers, and a bear to find
Walking Madrid's prettiest streets, your guide tells the stories kids actually remember: kings who built palaces to show off, explorers who redrew the map, and the bear that became the city's symbol. You'll pass the Royal Palace, Plaza de la Villa, Plaza Mayor, and Puerta del Sol along the way. Kids stay in it by hunting for El Oso y el Madroño, Madrid's bear and strawberry tree, hidden across the center.
"The trick with kids is to give them a job. Once they're hunting for the bear, they forget they're on a tour, and the parents finally get to listen."
Sabrina,
WalksDevour Madrid family guide
"We built this so nobody has to compromise. The kids get churros and a treasure hunt, the parents get the history and a proper coffee. Everyone wins."
Kate,
