Uncover Madrid on a bold walking tour packed with history, sharp humor, and zero filter. From royal egos to wild traditions, see the capital’s iconic sights through a hilarious, authentic lens. Book your spot today!
Madrid has seen kings, revolutions and questionable decisions. We’re here to tell you about them—with a few questionable jokes of our own.
Join Politically Incorrect Tours for a two-hour walking tour in English that brings Madrid’s history to life through comedy, colourful stories and cheeky commentary. Expect real historical context, irreverent humour and the occasional completely unnecessary detail you’ll probably remember forever.
Starting in Puerta del Sol, meet Madrid’s famous bear and strawberry tree, hear about the king remembered as the city’s “best mayor,” and discover why Spain welcomes the New Year by attempting to swallow twelve grapes against the clock. From royal ambitions to local traditions, there’s plenty to unpack– and plenty to poke fun at.
We finish at Plaza de Ramales, leaving you with a better understanding of Madrid and some excellent material for pretending you’re the knowledgeable one on holiday.
Bring comfortable shoes, your curiosity and a sense of humour. Expect adult language and jokes that don’t always behave themselves.
