If you're looking for a way to see all of Madrid's most popular sites but only have a little time, then the 'Madrid Highlights Tour' is the one for you. Although it is possible to walk or use public transportation to explore this beautiful city, it is faster and more convenient to take a private car.
This way you can maximize your time and see more of Madrid. On the morning of your tour, your Welcome driver will pick you up at your chosen accommodation and take you on a fully personalized trip around the most popular places in Madrid.
Every aspect of your tour is customizable and points of interest can be added or removed; However, we suggest the following itinerary.You will begin your tour in the oldest neighborhood of Mardis, Calle Gran Vía, where you will have the opportunity to take a relaxing walk through the impressive Parque del Oeste Botanical Garden. At this stop you can also visit the magical Temple of Debob, and soak up all of Spanish history.
From the Botanical Garden you will also have the opportunity to see the majestic Royal Palace of Madrid, an architectural marvel from 1755. If you have time, the historic Atocha train station, the Arc de Triomphe and some of the city's most impressive fountains are very close to this stop.
Your driver will then take you through the vibrant Puerta del Sol square and to the spiritual center of Madrid, Playa Mayor. This is the point where we suggest stopping for lunch at one of the many tapas restaurants, or asking your driver for a personal recommendation.
