Itinerary
Covered market from around 1916 with local food, delicatessen and events in an elegant atmosphere.
Located in the very characteristic Barrio de las Letras, we are opposite the place where one of the most famous writers in history lived and died: Miguel de Cervantes. After a life full of adventures, the writer of "Don Quixote de la Mancha" lived among the narrow streets of 16th century Madrid, where novels, theatrical performances in comedy pens, poetry and art coexisted, with street picaresque, duels between gentlemen and liars.
The Palace of the Spanish Courts, was built on the site of the former convent of the Holy Spirit that was used as the seat of Congress between 1834 and 1841. On the main facade, a staircase ascends to the neoclassical porch, with six imposing striated columns, of a Corinthian order, on which the triangular pediment decorated with reliefs of Ponciano Ponzano rises. The emblematic lions that flank the entrance are the work of the same sculptor and were cast with the iron of the cannons captured during the war in Africa. Under the pediment, the chiseled bronze door opens only on very marked occasions. Among the rooms of the building, symmetrical, stands out the well-known Session room, but also the library or the Conference room, better known as the "lost steps" room.
The fountain of Neptune is a neoclassical fountain that occupies the center of the roundabout to which it popularly gives its name, within the Plaza de Cánovas del Castillo, in the Spanish city of Madrid. This monumental fountain was proposed in 1777 and its construction, begun in 1782, was completed in 1786.
Singularly rich in paintings by European masters from the 16th to the 19th centuries, according to art historian and hispanist Jonathan Brown "few would dare to doubt that it is the most important museum in the world in European painting." Its main attraction lies in the wide presence of Velázquez, El Greco, Goya (the most widely represented artist in the museum), Tiziano, Rubens and El Bosco, of which he has the best and most extensive collections that exist worldwide, a what should be added outstanding sets of authors as important as Murillo, Ribera, Zurbarán, Fra Angélico, Rafael, Veronese, Tintoretto, Patinir, Antonio Moro, Van Dyck or Poussin, to name just a few of the most relevant.
Popularly known as "Los Jerónimos", its official name is that of Parish Church of San Jerónimo el Real. It is located next to the Prado Museum, at the back, and is late Gothic with Renaissance influences from the early 16th century. Although there is little left of the original building, it has been remodeled and restored many times over the centuries. His name refers to his special relationship with the kings of Spain, to begin with it was built by order of the Catholic Monarchs and throughout history it became the place of spiritual retreat of several monarchs. In addition, for centuries it has been the scene of royal investiture in the absence of a cathedral and the wedding of Alfonso XIII was also held here, for which the great stairway leading to its door was built in 1906.
This monumental door, built by mandate of Carlos III to replace a previous one dating from the 16th century, was inaugurated in 1778. Designed by Francesco Sabatini, it is a granite arc of triumph of neoclassical style, the first built in Europe after the fall of the Roman Empire, a precursor to others known as the Arc de Triomphe in Paris or the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. Unlike the Puerta de Toledo or San Vicente, it has five openings instead of the usual three. The two facades of which it is composed show different decorations, the inner face being easier (initially the one facing the city, which includes the four virtues: Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortress) than the exterior, chaired by the royal shield and with greater decorative wealth, which was what those who entered Madrid saw. It receives its name for being located next to the road that led to Alcalá de Henares.
Las Ventas bullring in Madrid is the biggest bullfighting thing in Spain. With 23,798 spectators, it is the third largest bullring in the world, after those of Mexico and Valencia (Venezuela) .1 It is also the second largest in terms of the diameter of its ring 61.5 m— after that of Round 1
The tour includes a tour of the main streets of Barrio Salamanca: Velázquez, Ortega and Gasset and Serrano
It was inaugurated on December 14, 1947 and its capacity is currently 81,044 spectators.
The tour will go from the Salamanca District to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium along the Paseo de la Castellana.
The Christopher Columbus monument presides over the square from the center of the fountain around which the traffic revolves. This white marble sculpture, in neo-Gothic style, next to its imposing stone-carved pedestal, measures 17 meters and was built in 1885 by Jerónimo Suñol, on the occasion of the wedding celebration between Alfonso XII and María de las Mercedes de Orleans. The square also houses the Gardens of Discovery, a park opened in 1970, where you can admire various sculptures such as the monument dedicated to the discovery of America. In the basement is the Cultural Center of the Villa Fernán Gómez.
The National Library of Spain (BNE) is an autonomous body responsible for the deposit of the bibliographic and documentary heritage of Spain. Dedicated to collecting, cataloging and conserving bibliographic funds, it has custody of around thirty million publications produced in national territory since the beginning of the 18th century: books, magazines, maps, prints, drawings, scores and brochures. The collections, operation and history of the National Library are disseminated through the Museum Museum and the Exhibition Halls.
Surrounded by the buildings of the Palacio de Buenavista (Army Headquarters), Palacio de Linares (Casa de América), Palacio de Comunicaciones (formerly the Post Office headquarters and currently the City Council of Madrid) and Banco de España. The fountain represents the Roman goddess Cibeles, symbol of land, agriculture and fertility, on a car pulled by two lions, the mythological characters Hipomenes and Atalanta. The goddess and the lions were carved in marble and the rest in stone. The sculpture of the goddess is the work of Francisco Gutiérrez. The two lions have been sculpted by the Frenchman Roberto Michel. The goddess is an icon for the followers of the Real Madrid football team, since the Madrid team titles are celebrated, as well as the successes of the Spanish soccer team.
All a decorative waste, awarded at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1884. The building was built with the aim of providing the National Bank with a seat more in line with the importance of its functions, such as the single issuance of coins and bills for everything Spanish territory The interior of the building can only be visited by groups of educational centers and universities. Exceptionally, also by non-profit cultural and associative entities.
The Plaza de Santa Ana is an open space in the Cortes neighborhood, in the Centro district of Madrid. It dates from 1810 and throughout its history it has undergone numerous urbanization processes that have modified its appearance with diverse fortunes.
The Royal Basilica of San Francisco el Grande, officially Basilica of Our Lady of the Angels, is a Catholic church in Madrid, in the Palacio neighborhood, within the historic center of the capital of Spain
The Almudena Cathedral is the most important religious building in Madrid. On June 15, 1993, it was consecrated by Pope John Paul II, becoming the first consecrated cathedral outside Rome. The Almudena Cathedral Museum gathers dozens of objects that tell the story of the diocese of Madrid. In the twelve rooms that the museum has you will see from mosaics to episcopal shields and ornament.
Nowadays the palace is used exclusively for receptions, ceremonies and official acts since the kings of Spain reside in the Palacio de la Zarzuela. The Royal Palace is also called the Palacio de Oriente. The construction of the Royal Palace began in 1738 and the works lasted for seventeen years. Shortly after its completion, in 1764, Carlos III established his habitual residence there. The location of the palace was the same one that occupied the Palace of the Austrias, destroyed by a fire during Christmas Eve of 1734. The Palacio de Oriente is surrounded by the Campo del Moro gardens and the Sabatini gardens. The first, to the west, date from the Middle Ages; the latter were created in the twentieth century and are in the north. The Campo del Moro can be visited during the day.
Campo del Moro is a garden located in the Spanish city of Madrid. Declared of historical-artistic interest in 1931, it occupies an area of about twenty hectares, extending, from east to west, from the western facade of the Royal Palace to the promenade of the Virgin of the Port.
The Debod Temple is a building from ancient Egypt currently located in the Spanish city of Madrid. It is located west of the Plaza de España, next to the Paseo del Pintor Rosales, on a hill where the Mountain Barracks was located.

Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the city and he showed us many important landmarks while providing insight into Madrid’s history. He was friendly and helpful as well.
Terrible experience with Viator! We paid €100 for a tuk-tuk tour, but the guide never briefed us about seatbelts or how to use them. When we were fined by the police, the operator blamed us, falsely claiming we had been briefed. Viator backed the operator instead of fairly addressing our complaint. Absolutely no accountability or customer support. Avoid Viator and consider Klook instead!
A fantastic way to see Madrid with a knowledgable and very personable guide called Mario. Thoroughly enjoyed and recommended
It was nice highlight of the old city with history of Madrid development. We are a family of 5 individuals and were divided into two cars (we didn’t know it prior to the tour). Looking back at the itinerary, I realized we were not shown two important spots; the stadium and the temple debod. Maybe we didn’t need two hours, one is enough
Rally enjoyed the tour - it’s fast and entertaining Don’t expect deep coverage of topics but very enjoyable
Cristian was a great guide - nice info about the city and a great overview of what we wanted to go back to see later. Riding around in the cart is definitely nicer than walking in the hot sun!
Great experience! Best way to see Madrid. We really enjoyed the time with our driver Manuel. He was very knowledge and kind
We never got to take the tour we paid for and signed up for because the directions to the tuk tuk were very poor and we were a few minutes late. The tuk tuk was already gone.
David our guide was great and touched on the various sites. However, the tour company should allow more time in order to snap pictures. In reading other reviews, this appears to be a constant feedback received...no fault of David, our tour guide.
Had a great time with Javi! We took a 2 hour tour with Javi and it was the perfect introduction to start our trip. Really appreciated the orientation, ideas to try, and suggestions to make our trip even better!
This was SUCH an amazing way to see Madrid. Our guide was beyond knowledgeable about all the different sites and areas of the city. He even answered all of our questions and was super pleasant to chat with. Our group absolutely loved this tour and felt like we learned so so much about Madrid and all the areas and things in the city.
It was a wonderful experience. Juan our driver was excellent. Informative about history and shared alot of information.
Knowledgeable, fun tour with great overview of city. Christian was wonderful guide, with great insights and recommendations!
Our guide was Lucia. She did an excellent job. She showed us many different parts of Madrid. She shared many interesting stories about the history of Madrid. I would definitely recommend this tour. It was a fun way to see parts of the city. 5 out of 5.
Juan was a great guide. We explored the old town for two hours. We went places that a tour bus could not get near. We worth the time.
I would highly recommend this tour if only in Madrid a couple of days. We took the three hours tour and was great with as very good to guide. Saw the highlights of Madrid comfortably and rela xing.
Enrique was our fantastic tuk tuk guide through the streets of Madrid. He is a very knowledgable and personable guide… he shared a lot about the history of his City in a truly engaging manner, and gave us lots of good tips about eating and shopping too…highly recommended!
Laura had made the trip to Madrid unforgettable because she explained little of history, culture. And that was very impressive. We spent 2 hours exploring landmarks of the city which is rich past artistic heritage. Wandering through the narrow streets of the old town, hence , this activity is highly recommended.
A great way to see the city. On the 4 hour tour there are several opportunities to stop and visit sites. Our tour guide was fabulous. We felt safe with him driving. Very kind and thoughtful.
We landed from overnight flight. Perfect way to get an overview of the city without walking. 4 hours was a lot so 3 hours would probably be enough time.
Lluis was excellent, very informative, helpful and friendly! We enjoyed the tour with him!! Thank you!
We came across this option by pure chance and were absolutely delighted that we did It offers everything and on foot Tour does but without the walking part The tuk Tuk is great fun and gives you more opportunity to see further a field in the 3 to 4 hours that we took We have to say a great thank you to our driver, Bobby whose knowledge and experience was excellent He took us to places we would not have known to go and far out extremes of Madrid that a walking tour doesn’t cover They’re not the easiest to find being tucked away underground opposite the Royal palace but if you do a bit of searching, you’ll see their adverts on the staircase and the introductory video point you in the right direction Great value for money at €300 and we certainly would recommend it Four had a good time
We loved our tour with Julian! This is a great way to see the city and learn more about its history. Highly recommend doing on the first day of your trip
I enjoyed our tuk tuk drive as an introduction to Madrid. So much to see that the 2 hour drive flew by. Camilo was super flexible with where we wanted to spend a few extra minutes and answered so many questions.
What a fun time in a Tuk Tuk around Madrid for the first time. It is open and covered for any weather to see all the sights of Madrid. Our guide was very pleasant and very informative of his city and history. He even took time out on one of my adventures. Must do for especially first timers.
This was a great experience to see so many different neighborhoods and monuments in Madrid. Our driver was very knowledgeable!
Had a wonderful time with Carlos. He was prompt and took us on the tour we expected. Saw many of the sights of Marid, and he explained everything wonderfully. Very good English. An excellent way to start out our visit to Madrid.
Carlos was amazing. His knowledge of the entire history of the city was outstanding. His English was good and his driving was very safe
Wonderful way to see the city of Madrid and Christian had so much information about the city. He took to time to allow us to take pictures and he take them of us. Thank you!
The best thing I can say about this tour is the great communication with the tour company. However, our flight was delayed and they would not just wait for us. I let the company know about our flight delay. First they would only wait 30 minutes, then after I requested longer, it was extended to one hour. In the end it was still not enough time, and they would not allow me to rebook for another time. If I already paid, why couldn’t they just wait until we could get there. I would only book if you know you will not have any change of plans.
Fernando was very knowledgeable and easy going. In addition to pointing out the sites, he offered some personal recommendations. Although raining, we were still able to make all the stops, and spent extra time on some other stops to make up for the rain. The tour overall was helpful to orient myself to Madrid.
Excellent use of time and finances. Lechia was a great guide. Despite a cold, rainy day we were able to see highlights in Madrid city.
Fun and informative way to see the city, especially if you've never been there before. Great way to start. our guide was very informative and made it fun fun for all.
Excellent overview of the city with maximum flexibility. Our guide, Clara was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and personable.
We chose the 4 hour trip - saw most of the sights, and our friendly driver, David, was most informative and well clued-up on his history. The trip was very entertaining, relaxing, fun, and informative. Well worth taking in the first day or two of a visit to help get your bearings and decide which locations to revisit in more detail and with more time. A little bit cold in January, so wrap up warm, although blankets are provided.
Although it was absolutely freezing cold, our driver had blankets for us. Because the old part of Madrid is really compact with very narrow streets this tour showed us everything that we needed. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and his language skills were excellent would highly recommend Manuel.
This was an enjoyable way to get around Madrid. Our driver/guide was, David, and he did a wonderful job of talking about the places we were seeing. It was a chilly day and the tuk tuk did have blankets. Overall it was a fun experience.
Cesar and Julian were both great tour guides. They were good storytellers and funny. We were in Madrid for a short time and this was the perfect way to see the city, with just the right number of stops. We never would have been able to cover this on foot.
Ivan our tour guide was very knowledgeable on the history of Madrid. He took us to several focal points that had beautiful views. Additionally, we asked him to take us to a few other places that were not really on the schedule which he happily did. Would highly recommend using Viator to anyone.
Tuk tuk was on time, very punctual, overall was ok but we were quite tired from our previous days walking tours that we didnt really talk much. We did the 3hours but stopped only at 2 places, itinerary stated there is Bernabeu stadium but didnt go there either, though after that we were going there anyways, it didnt matter for us. My son was really cold and no blankets provided too. Overall was really ok, but gets pretty boring for us after awhile.
Our entire tour was an enjoyable and enriching experience. It combined learning and entertainment seamlessly, keeping us engaged and delighted throughout. The journey was both informative and fun, offering moments of discovery and plenty of fun along the way.
Our driver/guide was excellent. Very knowledgable and very flexible. Flexible was required as our tour was 6pm on Saturday night after Black Friday and streets were crowed to a standstill. This forced some on the fly creative adapting to get us to as many places as possible. It was also cold and windy but the Tuk-Tuk was OK, even with the side curtains up for visibility. We enjoyed the ride very much and would recommend it!
Excellent Tour, Juan was a Great Tour Guide , he was very knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic tour of the important sites in Madrid. Very informative and Juan went a great pace, he is an excellent tour guide, I highly suggest this tour and ask for Juan if you can !!!!
Great experience! Wonderful guide… excellent way to see the city, especially with limited time. Took the 3 hour tour
It was a cool day, and the blankets provided were not big or warm enough. While our driver showed us a lot, her accent was so heavy that we probably understood only half of what she said. Also, I wish we had actually stopped at more places. Part of this was our fault, since we did not give her a wish list. Overall, a fun experience, but could have been better.
Perfect way to get the feel of the layout of the city. Luis was so knowledgeable, and spoke perfect English. A good introduction to Madrid and its history.
Laura the tour guide was spectacular. She made the whole trip very memorable, giving us a first-hand look at all the wonders of Madrid and gives you ample opportunity to soak it all in. It was the perfect way to start our vacation in Spain.
Our guide, Laura, deserves 6 stars, the weather deserves 2. The weather did make a difference on this tour because with the plastic sides down (necessary to keep us warm and dry), it was a little too hard to see the sights. We enjoyed the tour and the extra effort our guide put in to make it informative and fun.
Great tour excellent way to see city sights and landmarks. Excellent tour guide, extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. Great afternoon in Madrid. Highly recommend.
