Enjoy this private day tour outside of Madrid including visits to the Monastery of the Escorial and Valley of the Fallen. You will travel in a private vehicle with a private chauffeur to ensure your guide´s full attention.
Once you are picked up at your accommodation, you will set off to a quick panoramic tour of Madrid until you reach your first stop: the Escorial Monastery.
It is also known as the Royal Monastery of San Lorenzo El Real, built in the 16th century by King Phillip II and it now boasts a great European Art collection. You will also visit the Pantheon of Kings and Basilica.
After this, the tour will continue towards the Valley of the Fallen. It is very close from the Escorial Monastery and was built as a monument to the deceased of the Spanish Civil War.
You will then be transferred back to your accommodation.

The guide was very friendly, but several of the comments could not be heard because the equipment failed and sometimes she had to speak softly because there were more people, and I didn't know how to hear her.
When I complained, since the price was high, 34.50 euros, they did not pay any attention to me, a total disappointment, they told me that they were not obliged to have equipment that worked, that the group was small and we could hear it without the , and I guarantee you that it was not that small and there were many people in the escorial besides us, a total lack of professionalism, I will not do a tour with civitatis again paying in advance

I had a wonderful day ..
Firstly the actual locations were simply amazing . To see La Escorial after reading so much about it was like a step back in history for me but the real surprise was The Valley of the Fallen ...I confess that I didn’t know about it before I booked the tour. It was simply breathtaking!!! I could have spent all day just sitting looking at it.
But is was more than the locations that made this a rather special day for me.
Robert, my driver, was just so lovely and made sure that I was well looked after including where I might stop for lunch ( which was delicious) and taking me to vantage points where I could get some great photos.
Finally, Robert was so well informed about Spanish history and spoke really great English so I not only had the fabulous experience but also a chance to talk about history, my favourite topic. I learned lots of interesting facts and stories to add to my growing understanding of Spanish history and culture.
I cannot recommend these guys any more than to say that I would most definitely book again for another tour in the future.
