Here’s an overview of your tour
I love Madrid and I want you to fall in love with the city too. How? By showing you hidden places, stories, and it's history with humor, the best way to enjoy the experience.
Get to see the best monuments that the city has to offer and discover some cool spots that my beloved city has to offer. During our walk, you'll get a sense of the many centuries of history and culture, that gives Madrid a unique charm.
Visit the oldest part of the city, called “Madrid de los Austrias” (Royal Habsburgs) and let me show you the oldest bakery in the city. I'll tell you more about our typical sweets and what not to miss while in Madrid.
Next, hear the tales behind Puerta del Sol and admire the opulent Royal Palace, the biggest Royal Palace in Europe, with 3.500 rooms. You won't miss the Almudena Cathedral and its neoclassical architecture. And the Orient Square, with the Opera House and the beautiful statue of Felipe IV, made by Pietro di Tacca, Velazquez and Galileo Galilei.
Afterward, if we still have time, we cross to Plaza de España to have a look at the most important statue we have here, the one dedicated to our best writer, Cervantes, and his most important book, Don Quixote. Your tour ends here with a little surprise from my side. Won't tell you more than this, but I'm sure you'll love it.
If there's something that you would like to add on this tour please let me know. I'm more than happy to personalize this experience for you.
