What to expect
You'll meet your guide in Chueca and start with a walk through the neighbourhood, hearing about its LGBT+ heritage and how it's evolved. You'll then head into the first bar for a drink and chat with your guide and other group members. The tour hits two more bars over the next 90 minutes or so, each with a drink included. Throughout, your guide flags up what makes each venue distinct and talks through what else is worth exploring in Madrid's gay scene — from mainstream clubs to more specialist venues. The tour wraps at the third bar, but you're free to stay on if you're enjoying it. Your guide hands over detailed recommendations for places to go next, whether that's another round of drinks, dancing, or checking out some of Madrid's well-known gay saunas or fetish clubs.

Good to know
This suits anyone 18+ wanting a sociable, informed intro to Madrid's gay bars and scene, whether you're visiting solo, with friends or new to the city. It's a laid-back pace — no strenuous walking or special fitness needed. Practical notes: the three drinks are included, but anything extra you order is on you. Gratuity for your guide isn't factored into the price. The tour runs in a group (size not specified), so expect to meet other people. It's set in active bars, so noise levels are high and it can get crowded, especially on weekends. Service animals are welcome. Public transport is nearby if you need to get to the starting point.
