Your perfect introduction to Madrid!
On the Private Tour of Madrid’s Historic Center, you’ll explore the old town with your own dedicated guide, tracing the city from its medieval origins to its rise as an imperial capital. Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, Almudena Cathedral, and Madrid’s most iconic corners await.
With an expert guide dedicated exclusively to you or your group, you’ll enjoy a tour of the old town—also known as the “Barrio de los Austrias,” the Habsburg Quarter—that blends history, architecture, colorful anecdotes, and living culture. No rushing, no large groups—just the freedom to tailor the route to your interests.
We’ll begin by exploring Plaza Mayor, the historic epicenter and stage for pivotal moments in Spain’s history. Just around the corner, we’ll visit the world’s oldest restaurant—a landmark of Madrid’s culinary tradition.
In Plaza de la Villa, once the City Hall, we’ll step back to medieval times to see how the city was governed. From there, we’ll head to Almudena Cathedral and the majestic Royal Palace of Madrid—icons of religious and civic power.

Plaza de Oriente, with its sweeping architectural ensemble, carries us back to the days when Madrid witnessed watershed moments like the May 2, 1808 uprising.

Along the way, you’ll also discover local customs, classic cuisine, quirky curiosities, and other facets of everyday Madrileño life—along with the imprint the Habsburgs and the Bourbons left on the historic center.

Why choose this private tour:

  • The perfect first look at the city to plan the rest of your stay.
  • A route tailored to your interests and pace.
  • Personalized attention from an expert guide.

  • The first tour you should do in Madrid!
The Private Tour of Madrid’s Historic Center is more than a sightseeing route—it’s your gateway to the city, its history, and its spirit, told in an engaging, personable way tailored to you.
