The Best Tours for Christmas in Madrid

Our guide David was very informative and interesting. He guided us to see the essential works of the Prado's collection with a few surprise along the way.

This was more than a highlights tour—it felt like a true cultural immersion. From the art at the Prado to the elegance of the Royal Palace, every stop was rich with history. The guide handled everything with ease and gave us real insider insight. Easily one of the best day tours I’ve ever done.

I can’t believe how much we saw in just one day. The pacing was great, we never felt rushed, and having skip-the-line access made a huge difference. The Royal Palace and Retiro Park were incredible, but it was our guide’s storytelling that brought it all to life. Totally worth it.

This tour was everything I needed to get a true feel for Madrid without the stress of planning. Our guide was so passionate and knowledgeable, especially during the Prado Museum visit. Skipping the lines saved us a ton of time, and the small group size made it feel really personal. Highly recommend for first-timers.

If you're looking for the perfect way to kick off your vacation in Madrid, look no further than Madrid's Ultimate Drinks and Tapas Tour! My recent experience was nothing short of fantastic, and I owe a huge thanks to our incredible tour guide, Javi. From the moment we met, Javi's passion for his city was evident. His knowledge of Madrid's history, culture, and, of course, its culinary scene made the tour not just informative but also incredibly engaging. As a local, Javi took us to hidden gems that we never would have discovered on our own. Each stop was carefully selected, showcasing the best of Madrid's vibrant tapas culture. The group was equally wonderful, creating a fun and lively atmosphere that made the experience even more memorable. We bonded over delicious food and drinks, sharing stories and laughter as we navigated the charming streets of Madrid together. Javi's warm and friendly demeanor made it easy to connect with others, ensuring that everyone felt included and entertained. The tapas we tasted were a delightful representation of Spanish cuisine, each dish bursting with flavor and paired perfectly with local drinks. It was a culinary journey that left us wanting more! Javi's recommendations were spot on, and his enthusiasm for each dish made us appreciate them even more. Starting our adventure in Madrid with this tour was the best decision we could have made. It set the tone for a wonderful vacation filled with exploration, delicious food, and great company. If you’re visiting Madrid, don’t miss out on this tour! Javi is a gem, and the experiences you’ll have will be the highlight of your trip. Highly recommend!

Our tour guide Eduardo gave an amazing tour and entertaining explanation. And Enrique was a great driver. I recommend this trip with these two any time.

We both enjoyed our day with Julien whose knowledge of Madrid enriched ours as we walked through the city. The timing of the day was perfect and we appreciated having lots of time for the Prado and lunch. We can thoroughly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour with beautiful sights. This is a very efficient way to see the top spots. Lunch was included. Our guides, Diego and Juan Carlos, were informative and kind. Wear comfortable shoes.

Lydia was a great tour guide for the royal palace tour. I would recommend this tour as the interior rooms are beautiful and full of history. The flamenco show and dinner did not disappoint. What an amazing experience. Highly recommend both.

The one day tour is time well spent. It was the best bang for your bucks. We were able to see 3 cities in one day and still feel fresh at the end of the trip to go to the museum. It is nice to have someone do the driving and you can sleep for 1-2 hours between cities. Edwardo, our guide and Pedro, our driver were nice and knowledgeable. The free lunch was good with open bar (help with the nap on the bus). I strongly recommend for Americans who do not speak Spanish fluently. Phong

Amazing!!!

I didn't have much time to spend in Madrid, so I decided to go on this tour - and it turned out to be the best decision ever! Our guide, Laura, was truly amazing, providing insightful information and creating a delightful atmosphere throughout. The food exceeded expectations, with the carrillada being the highlight. And let's not forget the rooftop terrace – it absolutely took our breath away. If you find yourself in Madrid, this tour is an absolute must.

Our guide Alex was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and he enhanced our experience as he explained the meanings behind the masterpieces. Without him they would have just been famous artworks that did not mean much to us.

We tried to contact the company with the 3 numbers we had and never could get through and then an hour before we get through and the told us the tour wasn’t with them. We were trying to cancel since we both have caught a cold and didn’t want to expose others. This needs to be simplified. I would have loved to do the tour.

I'm so happy we decided to book this tour and English speaking guide! The Prado is unbelievable and we learned so much about the history and culture of Spain and Spanish artists.

Highly recommend this delicious tour. Our favorite day in Madrid by far.

We're so happy we booked this tour. Our guide was excellent and we would never have been able to accomplish this much on our own. This was my favorite thing we did on our 10 day trip to Spain.

Jose was very informative and helpful

This half-day tour was fun but we weren't prepared for it to be three separate events with a requirement to obtain your own transportation between events. First was Retiro Park with David, who did an excellent job showing us this spectacular park. Thos of us going to the Royal Palace, were told how to catch a taxi to the meeting point, at our expense of course. At the Royal Palace, we had another excellent tour guide, Alex. Most enjoyable tour as well. At the end of this, we were given directions to the restaurant honoring the tapas experience. We had an hour available to use this feature and it was unaccompanied. The tapas experience was a fixed plate with a number of excellent tapas. All in all, these three experiences were fun but disjointed. Not sure we would have signed up had we known.

The tour far exceeded our expectations. The food was great, the drinks were great but more importantly the atmosphere at each each place was special and inviting.

Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. He provided all the information we ended to get the .ost out of the tour without overloading us with non-importantfa T's. Only problem was the lunch. We and several others did not appreciate iate the 3 course lunch which wS far from being typically Spanish. A much lighter, typically Spanishunch would have been more appreciated.
