About you
We are always on the lookout for great characters and storytellers. Do you bring historical novels or biographies on holiday? Do you take twice as long as your friends to walk around a museum because you are reading everything? If so, you could be a great fit for Walks. Above all you should be passionate about Madrid. It is the passion that will drive you to continuously improve as a guide. You can be the person who ignites an interest in Paris that your guests will carry with them.
Who we are
Walks is part of the City Experiences brand of the Hornblower Group - a major tourism and transportation leader in the US, Canada and Europe. Walks is a global leader in the group tours and activities industry. We offer dynamic, culturally relevant, and intimate experiences in some of the greatest cities in the world. On a personal level we are a collection of travel, history, art, architecture, food and culture nerds/junkies/obsessives who love sharing our passions with our guests. Many of us began life with Walks as guides. In fact, our co-founders were guides when they began the company in Italy, 12 years ago. As a result, we understand the core importance of guides to our business.

We run bite-sized (90 min) tours as well as longer 3-7 hour tours and day trips. These regularly scheduled tours explore MADRID'S most iconic, storied attractions.
Training with Walks
Our tours are nothing without guides. You sit at the center of our business, and at the front of every guests' experience.
