Who we are
Madrid Locals Who Show Their City by Tuk Tuk
TukTuk Tour is a small local team based in Madrid. We do one thing: private sightseeing rides through our own city, with a local driver-guide at the wheel. There's no call center and no middleman. When you message us, you talk to the people who plan your ride.

How we work
Five Rules We Run Our Tuk Tuks By
These rules come from what travelers told us they dislike about sightseeing rides: shared seats, vague routes and surprises at the end.
- Your group rides alone. Every tour is private. Nobody else joins your tuk tuk, whether you are one person or four.
- One price per tuk tuk. From €49 to €299, set by the tour you choose, not by how many of you ride. You pay in cash on the day.
- Routes are written down. Each tour has a fixed list of places, published on our Madrid route map, so you know what you'll see before you book.
- Pickup is on us. Staying in central Madrid? We collect you at your hotel for free.
- Straight advice. If a shorter tour suits you better, or our tuk tuks won't suit someone in your group, we'll tell you before you book.
Our driver-guides
The People Behind the Wheel
Our driver-guides are from Madrid, and they drive and guide at the same time. They know which lanes of La Latina a tuk tuk can still get through, where Cervantes' words are set into the pavement of the Barrio de las Letras, and why Real Madrid fans celebrate at Cibeles while Atlético fans head to Neptuno.
- Live commentary in English or Spanish, never a recording.
- Questions welcome. Ask about a building, a bar or the best churros, and they'll answer.
- Photo pauses where it's safe and legal to stop.
Your local guide
A Local Guide on Every Tuk Tuk Tour, Included in the Price
Every tour comes with a local driver-guide at no extra cost. There's no recording and no guide fee on top. Your guide talks to you live, in English or Spanish, and you can ask questions at any point.
Local driver-guide
Someone from Madrid tells you the stories as you pass, answers your questions and points out the places worth coming back to. It's included in every price, from €49.
Audio guide
An audio guide plays the same script for everyone. It can't answer a question, change the order, or tell you where locals eat near the stop you liked.
On your own
Exploring on your own is free and flexible, but you have to work out the route and the history yourself, and you'll walk the hills of the old center to do it.
What Travelers Miss Without a Local
- Walking too much in the heat. July and August afternoons run above 30 °C; a guide plans the ride around the sun.
- Eating at the tourist traps. The terraces facing the big squares charge for the view. Your guide will point you a street or two away.
- Spending too long in one area. Madrid's sights are spread over several districts; a local knows how they link up.
- Going at the wrong time. The Rastro fills Cascorro on Sunday mornings; Debod is at its best at sunset.
- Skipping the real neighborhoods. La Latina, the Barrio de las Letras and Malasaña are where Madrileños actually go out.

Tell us your date, start time and group size on WhatsApp, and one of us will plan your ride.
Who runs TukTuk Tour?
A small local team from Madrid. We are not a franchise or a booking platform: we run the tuk tuks, the driver-guides and the bookings ourselves.
Is TukTuk Tour licensed and insured?
Yes. TukTuk Tour is a licensed, insured local operator in Madrid, Spain.
Who drives the tuk tuk on my tour?
A local driver-guide, who also tells you the stories behind each place, in English or Spanish. Nobody else rides with your group.
Where are you based?
In central Madrid. Every tour starts at Plaza de Isabel II (28013), next to Ópera metro, or at your hotel if you're staying in the center.
How can I tell it's really you?
Check two things before you pay: our number, +34 603 831 819, and our website, tuktuktourmadrid.com.
Are your drivers real guides, or just drivers?
Both. Our driver-guides are from Madrid and give live commentary in English or Spanish the whole ride, answering your questions as you go. It's the reason we don't use recordings.
Are your tours good for families?
Yes. Children of any age ride with an adult and take one of the 4 seats, there's no separate child price, and nobody has to walk the old town's hills.
Is the local guide included in the price?
Yes. Every tour, from €49 for 30 minutes to €299 for 4 hours, includes your local driver-guide. There's no extra guide fee.
Do your guides speak English?
Yes. Commentary is live in English or Spanish. Tell us which you prefer when you book.
Is a local guide better than an audio guide?
For most people, yes. A local guide answers your questions, adjusts to what interests you and can tell you where to eat or what to come back to. An audio guide plays the same script for everyone.
