All Madrid Tours

Usually overshadowed by Spain’s seaside cities, Madrid often surprises with its rich history, art, cuisine, and nightlife. Madrid tours offer numerous hassle-free options for experiencing its attractions. See the city by tuk-tuk, bike, or hop-on hop-off double-decker; cover landmarks on guided strolls, or skip the lines to explore the Royal Palace and masterpiece-filled Prado. Then, embrace Madrileno culture with a tapas crawl, cooking class, Bernabeu stadium tour, or flamenco show at a traditional tablao. And for a change, take days out to discover rural wineries, the magnificent El Escorial Monastery, and nearby UNESCO-listed cities like Toledo, Segovia, and Avila.
