Top Madrid Private Sightseeing Tours

First time having a personalized tour, but my guide Christina was excellent. She knew the Palace of Madrid and its rich history completely. She share some of the past intrigue around past generations of royals and tge queen who gave birth 24 times! Astounding! There was no question Christina could not answer. When we visited the Prado Museum of Art, she knew the details of the paintings, their meanings, vanishing point of a painting and society during specific periods. This experience was far more enriching than had I gone by myself. Additionally, it was an extremely hot day and my ticket allowed me to skip the lines at each place. Would highly recommend paying a bit extra for this experience when you travel. Christina deserves a promotion or at the least, a bonus. We spent a good 2 hours at each place. Although Pope Leo was in Madrid that day, she managed to snag a taxi from the palace to the art museum; coolness under pressure. Cannot thank Viator enough for this experience. Will continue to book private tours in the future.

The itinerary is excellent! Beautiful places, lots of history and culture. Comfortable shoes is a must and Segovia was much cooler than Madrid so need some extra layer but check the weather forecast. Don’t expect too much from the English speaking guides and you’ll have a fabulous time :)

This truely was a small tour of only 4 of us and really opened our eyes to the old Madrid! Definitely gave us a greater admiration for the city and so pleased we did it. Our tour guide was lovely and very enthusiastic and made the history of Madrid come alive! Just a warning that it was over 3 hours long and as it commenced at 11am it was getting very hot by the end Maybe an earlier start could considered

Great Tultuk tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about Madrid and the history of the city as well as the history of Spain. He asked us what we had already seen and done so that he could show us places we had not already seen. We could stop whenever we wanted to take photos. Wonderful experience!

Our tour guide Ana- we loved , she was very friendly, knowledgeable, passionate about her work and showed us the best of Madrid! Also gave us many suggestions on places to visit and restaurants to try. It was very helpful, since it was our first time in Madrid. We will definitely come back!

We had a very difficult time locating the meeting point. Original location was changed in the middle of the night. The company did contact us to notify of the change. Extremely difficult for us to locate the new location. GPS didn’t work correctly and locals had no clue where we were trying to go. However the tour guide was very helpful and spoke our language and was helpful and informative.

Our guide started with an overview of royal history of Spain. We walked by many important sites and visited the cathedral and the crypts below; which were beautiful and full of history. We visited the Plaza Mayor and historic sites around the plaza. I highly recommend this tour.

We visited two establishments and had superb vegetarian food in both of them, accompanied by wine and other drinks. We then finished off with chocolate and churros. The guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about Madrid and the food and drinks we had.
