Nice experience with professional tour guides

Very nice experience with Dreampeaks. We had a guide who made sure everything was secure and safe. Very professional. Besides that it was an adventure to experience the canyoning in such a nice surroundings. Would really recommend this for an alternative trip outside the busy center of Madrid when visiting.

Make memories and enjoy the beauty of Madrid

A really memorable family experience. Great for a family who enjoys adventure and challenge. The dream peaks team are fantastic!

Great day with the family

The family had an amazing day with Danielle and José… really out of the comfort zone for the kids (ages 12 and 14), but felt completely safe and guided through the canyon. These guys were great with the kids and they had a blast! Highly recommend it to someone looking for a break from the typical sites of Madrid. It’s truly an unforgettable experience!
