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 portico, 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 Angelico, 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, making the inner face 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.
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 headquarters of the Post Office and currently the City Council of Madrid) and the Bank of Spain. The fountain represents the Roman goddess Cibeles, symbol of the 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 fans 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.
Today the palace is used exclusively for receptions, ceremonies and official events 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.

Christian was a friendly and knowledgeable guide as he navigated us around the known and not so well known parts of the city. We picked up very interesting snippets of information and helpful tips on our extremely enjoyable tour.
Laura was amazing. English was great. She has the ability to connect with her guests personally. She showed us exactly the main stops we wanted to see, but also gave us more because she lives in the area and not just talks about it. A run was going on so she knew how to manuever around it. Madrid weather wasn't as kind as Laura was.
Great tour, very comfortable ride. Very good communication throughout the tour. We touched on all the good sites and it helped us get a lay of the land.
Daniel was a great tour guide, he was informative and funny. It was a very enjoyable afternoon and he did a great job answering all our questions. Thanks Daniel!
Great way to see Madrid in a short time. David was super informative and a safe driver. We enjoyed his commentary very much. If I had one tiny criticism is that your view is somewhat blocked by the rolled up awning covers. It sits right at eye level.
Laura our guide is very good as a guide. She gave us a lot of information and answered all our questions. She is an excellent driver too. We had a good time touring the city with Laura.
Juan was a great guide for our one hour tour. He showed us some highlights of Madrid and we discovered some places we want to go back to and spend more time.
We were a group of 5 and were split into two Tuktuks. One guide was Christian and the other was Sylvia. Both spoke a great deal about the architecture. We all would have liked to have more history and stories about the people. The tour through the various neighborhoods was nice. Christian didn’t provide much information on the last 45minutes. Both tuktuks had little padding on the seats and poor shock absorption. We were all over 65 years old and had quite sore backs after the tour.
This was a great way to get an overview Madrid. Carlos did an excellent job of showing us the city.. I was relaxing and entertaining. Would definitely recommend.
Our Guide, Ángel, was very knowledgeable and friendly! A great way to get your bearings in this beautiful City!
Our tuktuk tour was in Barcelona with Lluis and he gave us great information, showed us a lot of sights. We had a great morning!
When you only have a day, this is the best way to see a city. Thanks Angel and Alex. Also this is great to do with kids who are inclined to complain about walking too much.
Julian gave us an incredible tour and historical tour of Madrid today. He was very informative and friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Recommend for first timers in Madrid as a great overview of important and popular destinations spots. Thank you Julian!
We had a great time on the 2 hour Tuk Tuk tour in Madrid. Laura was our guide and she provided a lot of information and humor, which made the experience worth our time and money. Since we weren’t going to be in Madrid for long, this was a perfect way to get a quick tour of Madrids highlights.
This was a jam packed tour in which we saw a lot of interesting buildings and points around Madrid. Even if it was drive by, we saw more than we probably would have by ourselves during our short stay in Madrid.
Javier was a fantastic guide. We learned so much about the history of Madrid and Spain that we did not know before. He was able to answer any questions we had and made the tour very enjoyable. The 3 hours we did with him went by very fast. He also connected us with additional city resources and offered to answer any questions we might have later after we had parted ways. Highly recommend.
Excellent loved the tour, such a big city this was a sensational way to explore. Gustav (i think) was our guide and was terrific. Remember if easy tour the gardens are not open to walk through. We git lost and the company were great calling and making sure we got to the location. Highly recommended.
It was an amazing tour, our guide Pinto was very friendly and importantly full of very useful information
EXCELLENT tour!!! We took a 3 hour tour with Gustavo. We saw so much and learned so much about Spain's history and about Madrid. Gustavo spoke English very clearly, was very friendly and even gave us recommendations about where to eat. We HIGHLY recommend this tour and Gustavo.
Had a wonderful first interaction with Madrid. Mario our guide was knowledgeable, and thanks to him, we even attended a football match; Real Madrid at home! But for hia conversation, we would never have known we were staying 8 minutes walk from the Stadium! Made the tour even more memorable.
Juan pablo was brilliant my parents were born in Madrid and he showed us the part of Madrid I have not seen before. He was very knowledgable and friendly we stopped off for breaks which was nice. Will definitely book the tuk tuk again on our next trip to Madrid. Thankyou juan pablo.
The guide was very informative. I saw many highlights we also stopped at a beautiful rose garden and Egyptian pyramid
Alejandro was incredibly knowledgeable and had a wealth of history about all the places we visited. We stopped to snap some amazing photos and then got some great recommendations for places to explore later. We had a fantastic time seeing Madrid!
The meeting point was a bit tricky. Needed to call to get a better understanding of the meeting location. Our guide Javier was professional and knowledgeable of the area. We had a lovely time.
Gabriel was such a pleasure. He was kind, warm and extremely knowledgable. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to see Lisbon. The 4 hours just flew by!
We had a great time and Carlos was a fun and an informative guide! It was a unique was to learn about the city and its history.
The guide, Gloria was GLORIOUS ? We did have a difficult time finding the meeting point. Don’t give up it is well worth the time it took to discover where the meeting place was!!! Very informative, gave us a 4 hour tour ALL around the city. It was truly a wonderful experience for the 3 of us!
Wonderful Tour! I recommend to take this when you first arrive to Madrid as we did. It shows you all the highlights and special spots so you can pick and choose which to return to at your leisure and fully enjoy. Our guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
We had Ester. She was awesome. Friendly and through. The tuk tuk is clean and a fun way to see the sites. We had a great time.
It was a fun touristy way to see the major sites of the city center and learn a little history. Ariana was a great guide and our hour flew by.
It was good. Even with the translation in English it was a lot to take in. We did the 2 hour and were dropped off for 30 minutes in a park. I think the 1 hour would have given the same experience.
They cancelled the trip last minute and offered a new date after we were leaving Madrid, so disappointed…we didn’t get to go on their Tuk Tuk..
Juan was our charming, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide. He enlivened our otherwise gloomy and rainy day with entertaining, informative commentary. He covered the major highlights which gave a good overview of places we would want to explore in depth later. The Tuk Tuk was a great option in the inclement weather. The only downside were the suboptimal directions to the meeting spot, resulting in our being late.
Despite the rainy day, Laura and Christian gave us an incredible tour of the city and its key landmarks. Laura was especially insightful, accommodating, and made sure we learned as much as possible about Madrid, all while keeping things fun with her great sense of humor. We truly loved spending the morning with her and highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
Had a great Tour Guide, knowledgeable and great sense of humor thanks for a great time learned a lot about the city
We enjoyed our tour of Madrid with our expert guide/driver - Juli. The Eco Tuk Tuk was a wonderful way to see so much of the city and learn about the history in just a few hours. It was great to see the old town sights and places, and things in the newer areas too. Thanks for a fun day!
We took a four hour tour with a driver named jay. We went through the downtown area.Historic district and we went up to see the monastery.And we saw the olympic village . We enjoyed our tour very much and our driver was very knowledgeable. I highly suggest this for those who want a quick overview of the city or who have mobility issues. Getting into the vehicle required a step up which was not terrible. This was an open air vehicle with plastic flaps.The team down against the rain or the wind. I do recommend this company.They did a very good job.
Jaime was friendly, informative, and kept the tour interesting and well-paced. Madrid has a rich, fascinating history, reflected in its incredible architecture. Highly recommend!
This was a fantastic way to get to know Madrid on the emfirst day of s five-day visit. Jaime and Juan were our guides and they were wonderful. We saw loads of sights in three hours.
This was an informative, relaxing, and safe tour. We had an 86 year old with us and it was a perfect blend of very short walks and great ride through the city. Lucia was amazing—upbeat, knowledgeable, and friendly. I recommend!!!
Alex was a terrific guide! Very knowledgeable and also flexible with how he showed us the city! Highly recommend this tour of Madrid.
We had a great 2-hr tour! Our tour guide, Robert (he suggested we call him "Bobby") was terrific! We only had one night in Madrid so it gave us a great overall view of Madrid as we learned a lot of history too. Bobby was super knowledgeable and friendly and enjoyable.
A great way to see Madrid! Our tour guide Mariona was friendly, knowledgeable and made the whole experience very memorable! Highly recommend it. .

Excellent service and great value. Fernando was so funny and knowledgeable, he kept the children really engaged. Such a good way to start the visit.
We had a wonderful tour and our guide Manuel was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and we learned so much. We especially loved seeing the rose garden, which was part of our tour. He was also very kind, patient and accommodating with our family. I would highly recommend the tour, and if you can ask for Manuel.
Had a fantastic experience with the tuk tuk tour. We managed to plan our trip on the rainiest weekend and a bank holiday so were panicking about what we would do with ourselves and this was a great way to see the city, get our bearings and learn some interesting things. Bobby was a great guide.
