Across Madrid Tours is a highly recommended walking tour company based in Madrid, founded by Art History Professor Almudena Cros Gutierrez. She offers history, culture, food and art themed walks specially curated for families. Dr. Almudena Cros’s tours engage children and young people, encouraging them to spot unseen details and participate in the immersive storytelling. Her interactive walks through the Spanish capital bring museums and galleries to life, covering topics and locations such as the Prado Museum, Archaeological Museum and more. All of her tours are scavenger hunts, with a unique concept and different itineraries covering over 500 years of local history. Whether you’re based in the Spanish capital or are already thinking ahead to your next holidays as the kids head back to school, we highly recommend exploring this incredible city with Across Madrid Cultural Tours. As each tour is exclusively led by Almudena, her availability is limited and contacting her to book well in advance is advised.
