Our opinion on the walking tours in Madrid.
After 6 years of work, we have seen as the numbers of touristic activities have increased in the city but we haven’t observed that any companies are focused in the street art industry.
Thus we consider ourselves as a group of passionate graffiti hunters who will show you Madrid as you have never experienced before (even if you haven’t been, but participated in any tour around the world).
