Overview of your Madrid tour

The amazing Royal Palace of Madrid is the largest one in western Europe. The palace was the official residence of the Spanish Royal family for almost 200 years and is still used today for State ceremonies. You will feel like a king walking with me through the State Rooms and the Royal Armory. Afterwards, we'll continue to a nice stroll to explore the Old Town. Madrid maintains as a treasure its historical area in which, fortunately, I have the pleasure of living. Let me show you my neighbourhood, its narrow streets and pedestrian areas, its legends and its hidden gems. If you like History, this is your tour. I'm a History expert, what I love more about this tour is telling you about our history and our past and present. By the end of the day you will feel like an expert connoisseur of us. The tour will be done by walking and, if you feel like relaxing for a while, let me take you to one of my favorite typical bars in the Oldtown.

Your Madrid tour itinerary

The Old Town is known as "Madrid de los Austrias". This historical area is named like that because many of the monuments located here dates back to XVI and XVII centuries when the Hapsburgh Dinasty(los Austrias) ruled Spain.
