WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Plaza de Santa Ana
Plaza de Santa Ana is an open space in the Cortes neighborhood, in the Centro district of Madrid. It dates back to 1810 and throughout its history it has undergone numerous urbanization processes that have modified its appearance with varying degrees of success.
2. Royal Palace of Madrid
The Royal Palace of Madrid, also called the Royal Palace of the East, is the official residence of the King of Spain; However, the current kings do not live in it, but in the Palacio de la Zarzuela, which is why it is used for state ceremonies and solemn acts.
3. Museo de la Catedral de la Almudena
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 cathedral to be consecrated outside of Rome. The Almudena Cathedral Museum gathers dozens of objects that narrate the history of the diocese of Madrid. In the twelve rooms that the museum has, you will see everything from mosaics to episcopal coats of arms and ornament.
4. Jardines de Sabatini
The Sabatini Gardens are located in front of the north façade of the Royal Palace of Madrid, between Calle de Bailén and Cuesta de San Vicente. They occupy an area of 2.66 hectares.
5. Templo de Debod
The Temple of Debod is a building from ancient Egypt currently located in the Spanish city of Madrid. It is located to the west of the Plaza de España, next to the Paseo del Pintor Rosales, on a hill where the Cuartel de la Montaña was located.
6. Mercado San Miguel
Covered market from around 1916 with local food, delicatessen and events in an elegant setting.
7. Real Basilica de San Francisco el Grande
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 Spanish capital.
8. Casa de Cervantes
In the Barrio de las Letras de Madrid in the heart of Madrid, it is with the house where Cervantes died.
9. Casa Museo Lope de Vega
The Lope de Vega House-Museum is located at number 11 Cervantes street in the Spanish city of Madrid.
10. Plaza de las Cortes
The Palace of the Spanish Courts, was built on the site of the old convent of the Holy Spirit that was used as the seat of the Congress between 1834 and 1841. On the main façade, a staircase ascends to the neoclassical portico, with six imposing corinthian fluted columns, on which stands the triangular pediment decorated with reliefs by Ponciano Ponzano. The emblematic lions that flank the entrance are the work of the same sculptor and were cast with iron from cannons captured during the war in Africa. Beneath the pediment, the carved bronze door opens only on very special occasions. Among the rooms of the building, with a symmetrical floor plan, the well-known Sessions room stands out, but also the library or the Conference room, better known as the room of "the lost steps".
11. Fuente de Neptuno
Both gods occupy prominent positions within the Greek mythological hierarchy and rival in the sports field, since the fans of Atlético de Madrid celebrate their victories in the square of the god of the sea, while that of Real Madrid does so in that of Cibeles. As part of the original Ventura Rodríguez project, both sources were initially confronted, looking at each other on the side of Paseo del Prado. Both Cibeles and Neptune experienced restructuring and transfer processes at the end of the 19th century, finally occupying the center of the Cibeles and Cánovas del Castillo squares, respectively.
12. Prado National Museum
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.
13. Los Jeronimos
The old monastery of San Jerónimo el Real, popularly known as "Los Jerónimos", was one of the most important monasteries in Madrid, originally ruled by the Order of San Jerónimo. Next to it there was the so-called Royal Room, later expanded as the Buen Retiro Palace in the times of Felipe IV.
14. Puerta de Alcala
The Puerta de Alcalá is one of the five old royal gates that gave access to the city of Madrid, it is located in the center of the roundabout in the Plaza de la Independencia.
15. Cibeles Fountain
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 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 followers of the Real Madrid football team, since the Madrid team titles are celebrated, as well as the successes of the Spanish soccer team.
16. Banco de Espana
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.

Álvaro was awesome! The tour operator is in constant communication with us through WhatsApp, which was great! Clear instructions on meeting point. There’s coffee shop at the meeting point so you can grab a nice cafe con leche before your tour, just make sure you have a lid on, a lot of cobblestone streets! Fun way to see Madrid before walking around on your own.

Very good alternative to see the highlights of Madrid when you have limited time. Eduardo, the driver and guide, was a very knowledgeable historian and made the two hour tour through the city very pleasant and productive. And the office support via WhatsApp came very handy.

When you pay $185 US dollars for a private tour IN FLUENT ENGLISH that is what you expect to get. Sadly, this is NOT what we received yesterday while riding in the electric tuk-tuk with our tour guide. Although she seemed to be a very nice person, who wanted to do a good job, she was not able to do so. She used many cognates between English and Spanish but, at times she used them incorrectly and every time she pronounced them in the Spanish way, not the English way: so it was very confusing and difficult to follow what she was trying to say. By the time you figured out what she was trying to say, you have missed 2-3 sentences of what she just siad and you’re completely lost. I quit trying to follow what she was saying about 45 minutes into the tour.

It also seemed that she might have been very new to the job as she tended to pause often as if she were trying to remember a script or recall facts she wanted to relay about what we were driving past. When we were at the Muslim wall (I knew where we were because there was signage explaining it) she wanted to show us an old map of the city of Madrid and she fiddled with her phone for quite some time before she found what she wanted to show us; not the smooth proficiency of a guide who knows what she is doing.

Unfortunately a person’s experience with the Tuk Tuk private tour hinges entirely upon the skill of the tour guide herself or himself. In our case, we got the wrong guide… I know that tuk-tuk has good guides because while we were at the Muslim wall, another tuk tuk tour guide was also there with his group of tourists and his English was excellent and I could understand everything he said. I wish we had had him as our tour guide as this review would be 5 stars instead of 2.

In addition to the problems noted above, a full quarter (25%) of the 2 hour tour was spent AWAY from our guide because she had nowhere to park her tuk-tuk when she dropped us off at some park where there was a view of the city. When you pay $185 US for 2 hours of a tour guide’s services, that’s what you expect to get; but we only got 90 minutes of her non-fluent English “guidance.”

My suggestion to tuk-tuk is to take your best English-speaking tour guide and load up a tuck tuck with your worst English speaking tour guides and have your best English speaker take them on a tour while they listen (record the fluent guide?) and take notes as to what s/he is saying and how s/he is saying it so that they can improve their service to customers. Or just hire more fluent guides.

Given our very poor experience, I want a refund.

This tour of the city was alot of fun. Our tour guides ( we were a group of five in two differnt TukTuks...which I wish I had known in advance we would be in two different cars) were both really great...full of interesting information. We went to many different sights in the city that I did not even know existed...I especially love the hught rose gardens we saw and would like to come back in the spring/summer to see them in bloom. Being December it was cold but they did provide blankets. It was fine and the temperature was not bad until the sun went down completly. Then the temperature plummeted and the blankets did not help! We were very cold by the end but I do not in any way fault to tour company for this...we knew exactly what were getting into this time of year! I would for sure recommend this excursion!

This was such a nice way to see the city. You get a really good overview of the main parts of Madrid you’ll want to check out while you are here. Our guide Fernando was really great, very knowledgeable and had an answer to every one of our questions. We highly recommend this tour

We had a great time with Alejandro (Alex) who showed and explained the sights and history of Madrid. He was easy to understand and was very engaging. This was a last minute booking due to unforeseen circumstances interrupting our travel plans. We’re so glad we did as we got a chance to see many sights and it’s always more memorable with fantastic guides. Thank you Alex!
