Frequently Asked Questions
How do the interactive GPS routes in the Madrid audioguide work?
Our Madrid audioguide uses your smartphone’s geolocation technology to show your exact position on the Madrid map. As you reach each marked point of interest, you can play the audio content and manually unlock interactive mini challenges. You set the pace: stop for a break, grab a coffee, and continue your tour whenever you like.
Who is the Madrid audioguide designed for?
Our experience is designed for all types of travellers. It’s ideal for families looking for an engaging way to introduce history to children and teenagers through mini challenges and clue-based activities, for couples who want to explore at their own pace without relying on groups, and for solo travellers seeking a smart, expert companion. As a self-guided tour, it adapts perfectly to any pace and age.
If you’re travelling in a group, can you share the Madrid audioguide?
To fully enjoy the interactive experience — including GPS maps, audio content, and mini challenges — each traveller needs to purchase their own guide on their smartphone. Purchases are individual and linked to a single user account.
While it’s technically possible to share headphones, we recommend that each person has their own audioguide to participate individually in the challenges, receive their own free eSIM code, and navigate the route independently from their own device.
What makes DareMapp different from traditional audioguides?
Unlike traditional audioguides, DareMapp offers engaging explanations, fascinating historical facts, local legends, and fun mini challenges throughout each route. Beyond learning about the main landmarks in Madrid, you’ll also discover hidden gems and local traditions in a more interactive and enjoyable way.
Who creates DareMapp’s routes and content?
Our itineraries are not generated by Artificial Intelligence or generic algorithms. Each route is carefully designed by official guides, historians, and local experts who live in the city. This allows us to offer not only accurate historical information, but also the kind of insights, stories, and hidden spots that only a local would know.
Do I need internet or mobile data on my device?
Yes. We are currently working on an offline mode, but for now an internet connection is required. That’s why, with your Madrid audioguide, we include a free 2GB eSIM* so you can stay connected and avoid roaming charges.
How do I redeem my free data eSIM?
When you purchase your tour on the website, you’ll receive a unique code by email* along with detailed instructions to activate your 2GB of data completely free.
Who can help me if I have issues with the eSIM?
If you experience any difficulties installing the eSIM profile, have connectivity issues, or have questions about your 2GB data usage, you should contact Turtrip’s technical support team directly, our official connectivity provider. They are telecommunications experts and will be able to resolve any technical issues in real time through their support portal.
Is the payment secure and what guarantees do I have?
Purchasing with DareMapp is 100% secure. We use SSL-encrypted payment gateways to protect your banking details at all times. Our priority is that you enjoy your route in Madrid without any concerns, which is why we offer:
- Functionality guarantee: If you experience any technical issues accessing your audioguide or GPS map, our support team will provide priority assistance.
- Refund policy: If after your purchase you find that your device is not compatible with the advanced features of our app, we offer a full refund.

Are tickets to tourist attractions in Madrid included?
No. The price of our Madrid audioguide includes digital content and a complimentary eSIM*. We provide official links to purchase tickets for each monument in Madrid, but the choice is yours — you can decide whether to buy them or not, avoiding unnecessary intermediary fees. The options offered through DareMapp are always commission-free and, in most cases, include skip-the-line access and even better prices than at the ticket office, helping you make the most of your budget during your trip.
How long will I have access to the tour after purchasing it?
Forever. Once you purchase the Madrid audioguide, you will have lifetime access — IT NEVER EXPIRES. It will remain in your account so you can use it whenever you like, whether that’s tomorrow or on your next trip to Our .
