Tour description

THE GUIDED TOURS IN ALCALÁ DE HENARES #1 ON GOOGLE AND TRIPADVISOR SINCE 2019, conducted by freelance guides with over 14 years of experience, graduates in history, and with an official guide license.

IMPORTANT: Participation of groups of more than 6 people in the free tours, regardless of whether several reservations have been made from different email addresses, is subject to a prior payment of €10 / person VAT included. Contact us to learn about the participation conditions for large groups in free tours.

Birthplace of the greatest figure in Spanish literature, Miguel de Cervantes, the monumental town of Alcalá de Henares has held the title of UNESCO World Heritage City since December 2, 1998, ranking among the cities with the highest number of cultural heritage sites in all of Spain.
Despite this, and very unfairly, it remains a great mystery to many visitors who have arrived in Madrid and wish to explore its surroundings in addition to the capital. Our tour, approximately 1.5 hours long, proposes a journey through time via its medieval layout, Roman remains, baroque palaces and churches, and its prestigious university, founded over five centuries ago, so that in your travel journal, Alcalá de Henares becomes a must-see.

Places we will visit externally during the tour:


Plaza de Cervantes

Regional Archaeological Museum

Magistral Cathedral

Cisnerian University

Cervantes' birthplace

Complutense gastronomy

Archbishop's Palace

One of the oldest hospitals in the world

The medieval Jewish quarter and much more…
