How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
Malasaña is one of those places where anything seems possible, especially after dark!
Join one of our Madrid hosts and discover its independent music venues, tiny taverns and street-side bars for yourself as you take to the cobbled walkways together!
The great part about a night out in Madrid is that no matter where you go, the energy and zest for life is palpable.
In Malasaña, old locals rub shoulders with students in hipster cocktail bars and all are welcome to join in with the fiesta (not siesta, mind you - two very different concepts we’re dealing with).
Start your night with some scrumptious tapas to line your stomach, accompanied by cañas (beers). This is how the locals like to kickstart their night out, so naturally, you’ll be blending in like the sophisticated explorer you are.
Next, copas! These are cocktails best enjoyed at a sultry bar that spills out onto the streets, and your host will know just the place for you!
Once your experience with them ends, you’ll be armed with a million recommendations of how best to spend the rest of your night, so don’t go home quite yet.
Real Madrileños won’t be caught at home until the wee hours of the morning. You don’t want to let them down, do you?

Spending this time with Lisa as our guide through the neighborhoods of Madrid was fantastic! We loved the opportunity to customize where we went and what we saw all throughout the day! We learned about the history and culture of Madrid, as well as stopped at some local spots to see shops and cafes that had an interesting history. Exploring with Lisa was like spending time with a friend. She was informative and funny, checking if we were enjoying our time, and giving us a perspective to what it is like to live in Madrid. We also loved hearing her stories about her journey to Madrid from Venezuela and the US, and we are so impressed with her entrepreneurial spirit of starting her own company. Fantastic day! Highly recommend! Thank you Lisa for highlighting the wonderful city of Madrid for our family!

Let me tell you about the incredible time I had with my tour guide, Lisa, in Madrid! From the very moment we met, it was like reconnecting with an old friend who was very knowledgeable about this amazing city. Lisa was a lot of fun and brought the energy I was looking for in a guide. I wanted a flexible agenda for our 6 hours together since I was only in Madrid for part of a day. The tour was a masterclass in personalization. It wasn’t about a script or a schedule—it was about me. What I wanted to see, feel, and experience. And somehow, Lisa just knew exactly how to craft the perfect day. We had an amazing connection and by the end, I wasn’t just saying goodbye to a guide—I was saying goodbye to a new friend. If you’re thinking about exploring Madrid, Lisa is the guide you need.

Lisa took us on a historic old town tour. We enjoyed our 2 hour walking tour and found the history provided by Lisa created a great picture of old town Madrid through the centuries. Thank you Lisa!

The tour was great, Lisa has a lot of knowledge about the city and its history, and shared information which I would not have known if I had gone on my own. She was friendly and helpful too, and walked me to the Prado museum as she wanted to make sure I reached there safely, even though our tour had ended Definitely engage her for walking tours!
