Stroll the streets and squares of the Spanish capital on this 2.5 hour Private Tour, discovering the secrets of Madrid’s old city. Your guide will lead you through the most iconic locations in Madrid, peeling back the history and characters that have marked them over the centuries.

Start at the Royal Palace, and follow your expert guide through the medieval streets to sites including Plaza Mayor, Santa Cruz Palace, and the soaring Almudena Cathedral. You’ll discover the curious Bakery House and the tapas-filled stalls at San Miguel Market. This charming district is popularly known as Habsburg Madrid, in reference to the ruling powers of the 16th and 17th centuries. It is here, in central Madrid, that you’ll even visit the world’s oldest restaurant to find out what the signature dish is.

Visit Madrid as it existed later under the Bourbon dynasty, featuring the majestic Royal Palace, which is the largest functioning palace in all of Europe. You’ll wander the gardens of Plaza de Oriente designed by French emperor Napoleon's brother. Learn about the Royal Theatre and let the beauty of the French-inspired architecture wash over you as you discuss Madrid in the 19th century. By the end, you’ll understand the layout of the city and how its landmarks played a part in its rich history.

We’re more than just storytellers. Our young, passionate, and engaging guides approach touring in a different way. They will bring a personal touch to each tour, adding their own favourite anecdotes and tips along the way. They are there to listen to you, to answer your questions, and to create a dialogue – unlike other tours where they just lecture you as you go along. That’s the whole reason why we specialise in private and semi-private tours exclusively, to make sure you get the most possible out of your experience.
