According to the operator's description, the route takes in Plaza de la Corredera, Plaza del Potro, an arch gate, Plaza de Jerónimo Paéz and Plaza del Pañuelo, before reaching the Mezquita-Catedral. The tour ends at the Arc de Triomphe. Along the way the guide retells the history and culture of the city through its most symbolic corners, many of them described by the operator as among the most photographed squares in the city.

The tour runs in Spanish only, so it suits travellers who are comfortable following a guide in that language. Booking is free and the pay what you want model means guests tip the guide at the end according to what they felt the walk was worth. There is no pickup: everyone makes their own way to the meeting point.

Photography. The operator pitches the route around the most beautiful and photographed squares of the city. Bring a camera or a charged phone.
Paying the guide. Booking costs nothing upfront.
Monument entry. Nothing is listed under included or not included, and the description frames the monuments as places the tour gets to know rather than enters. Any entry would be bought individually, outside the walk.

Common issues. The main practical limits come straight from the operator's description. The tour is Spanish only, which excludes anyone not comfortable in that language. No food, drinks or entry fees are mentioned as included, and the route's monuments are seen as part of a walk rather than visited inside.
