Wake Up Tours

Madrid is the perfect city to take a route through any of its streets. It mixes history and tradition with modernity and technology. That's why Wake Up Tours emerged, thanks to a group of enthusiasts from the capital who want to make your visits a memorable experience.

We are a group of young people with different specialties - Tourism, Literature, Architecture and Art History - who are committed to organizing free tours as a means of transmitting the passion for this magnificent European city applied to our knowledge.

Our guides, who will carry with them the colorful umbrella that characterizes us, give you the following alternatives with journeys of about 2 hours designed for small groups:
