The tour begins at your hotel’s front desk, where your private official guide will welcome you to kick off a smooth, wait-free journey.
Panoramic Tour Through the Heart of the Capital
You’ll travel along the wide avenues of the historic district. You’ll get a close-up view of iconic monuments, the mythologically inspired fountains that grace the main squares, and the imposing buildings lining the most famous thoroughfares of 19th- and 20th-century Madrid.
A walking tour at your own pace through the squares and winding streets that formed the center of power during the imperial era.
