About This Tour

A private, fully personalized tour focused on your interests, with the option to explore off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods, local tapas bars, and artisan shopping districts. An itinerary built around your own interests, with the option to include off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods, local tapas bars, and artisan shopping districts alongside Madrid's headline sights. Hotel pickup is included for central accommodations.

Because this route is built entirely around your own interests, it can lean as heavily as you like into Madrid's so-called 'Golden Triangle of Art' — the Prado, the Reina Sofía (home to Picasso's Guernica), and the Thyssen-Bornemisza museum, all set along the tree-lined Paseo del Prado boulevard, which was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 2021 together with Retiro Park next door. The three museums sit close enough together that a determined visitor could walk between all of them in about 20 minutes, though most people prefer to pick one and linger.

Retiro Park itself has a history worth knowing if your guide walks you through it: it began in the 1630s as the private gardens of a palace built for King Philip IV, and only became public parkland in 1868, after the Glorious Revolution — early visitors were required to meet a strict dress code, with women expected to keep their shoulders covered.

Beyond the museums and the park, a personalized route is where Madrid's genuinely local layer comes through — neighborhood tapas bars that don't appear in guidebooks, small artisan shopping streets, or a detour into a district most tour groups never reach. Since your guide reaches out ahead of time to understand what you're actually looking for, the balance between icons and hidden corners is entirely yours to set.
