A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What you’ll do

You’ll join one of our local Madrid hosts to shop until you drop - just kidding, you won’t be doing any dropping unless perhaps it’s dropping into a chair in a tapas bar for a revitalizing mojito.

Flit from retro designers' stores to vintage markets and one-of-a-kind boutiques in the ultimate shopping district - but it ultimately all comes down to what your style is. So first things first, let us know if your vibe is luxury designer stores or eclectic vintage shops, or something in between!

You’ll be enticed by the vibrant community spirit as you stroll through trendy barrios like Malasaña or the most stylish shopping districts like luxurious Salamanca, discovering Madrid's distinct fashion style as you muse over what to buy.

Your host is here to share with you all the fashion hotspots of their city, at whatever pace you’re happy with. You’ll feel like you’re shopping with a knowledgeable friend by your side, which obviously means you’ll buy way more than you planned to. Oops.

We had scheduled a small group tour but at the last minute we decided we really wanted a private one-on-one experience to truly learn about Madrid. We are so glad we did and that Patricia was our guide. She had so much knowledge and was filled with fun facts that you only get with a true local. With a bubbly personality and lots of information, we learned so much. She also introduced us to the oldest cocktail bar in Madrid and the Lhardy (the first true restaurant in the world with menus, proper service, etc) and we were lucky enough to dine there the next evening. Her knowledge on the Spanish civil war was exceptional too. Definitely book this early on your trip while in Madrid. You will walk away with a list of places to come back to - ways to navigate the city and a better appreciation for beautiful city of Madrid.
