Hello! We are Javier and Tatiana. After a wide variety of experience in different companies, in 2013 we decided to found OgoTours, a guided tour company based in Madrid. Specializing in a destination like Madrid doesn’t happen overnight, it requires years of study, preparation and effort. However, today this specialization is our main strength compared to other companies in Madrid. Currently our team of guides is composed of professionals from different fields (Art History, Tourism, History, etc.) who love sharing their favorite places in Madrid. As if this were not enough, our small family run business has grown over these years to become one of the top-rated tour companies in Madrid. Webistes such as TripAdvisor, Yelp as well as numerous travel blogs and specialized press recommend us as the best way to discover Madrid. As a 100% local company, we keep a close relationship with the city. We only collaborate with small Madrid businesses and try to show our city from a local and authentic perspective. In short, the passion for our city and the possibility of continuing to learn make this work the best one in the world. Looking forward to seeing you in Madrid, Javier & Tatiana

Tour description

During our guided tour we will embark on a journey through the fascinating history of Madrid; from its foundation in the Middle Ages, to the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty that transformed the city.

All this accompanied by curiosities, interesting facts and legends that will help you feel Madrid like a true “Madrileño”.

Small groups: We have small groups. Maximum approximately 20 people.

When the group is larger than 10 people, we will use a modern radio guide system (a wireless audio system: the guide speaks, and participants listen through earphones). You do not need to bring anything, we will provide you with disposable headphones and the radio guide system.

We are a 100% local company . Our team is made up exclusively of professional guides with extensive experience who enjoy sharing the history of Madrid and their favorite corners of the city.

Tour Spots:

Puerta del Sol
Inn of the Comb
Plaza Mayor
Oldest restaurant in the world
San Miguel Market
Plaza de la Villa
Almudena Cathedral
The Royal Palace
Plaza de Oriente
Royal Theatre

Advantages of using a radio guide system :

-Clear and crisp communication between the tour guide and participants, even in areas where there is a lot of ambient noise, such as the historic centre of Madrid.

-Participants can move freely without missing important information. They do not need to be close to the guide to hear the explanations, allowing for a more flexible and comfortable experience.

-Accessibility for people with hearing disabilities, as our radio guide system allows the volume to be adjusted according to individual needs.
