Madrid Ghost Tour with Xime

Xime was an outstanding guide! She told captivating stories, kept the whole group engaged, and led us around Madrid’s most haunted spots with brilliant energy and knowledge. This was such a fun solo activity, a great way to see the city after dark and meet other travellers. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Madrid solo and want something a bit different

Unique presentation of macabre historic events

Xime our tour guide was great! She spoke English and had a series of very interesting and macabre stories that spanned various times in the history of Madrid. She brought the stories to life with unique flair, dramatizations, and additional photos. The time flew by as it was so entertaining. I highly recommend her as a guide. I also recommend this tour as a departure from the usual history- you get to learn a bit more about some of the crazy things that occurred once upon a time. Allow 2 hrs for the tour- well worth it! Tour is free. Tips are well deserved- she really brings things to life!
