Itinerary

Day 1

COMBINE AND SAVE

Check in at our office, join a one-hour walking tour through the alleys of the historic center of Madrid and discover emblematic places that you cannot miss. Enjoy the Plaza de la Villa, the famous Plaza Mayor, the Puerta del Sol and the Plaza de Oriente. Next, board one of our air-conditioned buses for a ride through the city. Remember to bring your camera or Smartphone!
Exit from the Plaza de Oriente towards the magnificent Puerta de Toledo. Did you know that its construction dates back to the era of Napoleonic occupation? Back on the bus you can see the oldest bridge in Madrid and, next to the Manzanares River, you will have spectacular views of the Royal Palace and the Almudena Cathedral. Cross Calle Mayor towards Puerta del Sol and Las Cortes on the way to Paseo del Prado. Admire the architecture of the heart of old Madrid arriving at the Barrio de las Letras.
Among the different places of interest that you will see on board the bus are the Cibeles fountain, where Real Madrid fans celebrate their team's victories, and the Puerta de Alcalá, the most famous of the five old doors that gave access to Madrid. See the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Paseo de la Castellana, and Plaza de Colón.
Check in again at our central Madrid office fifteen minutes before your tour departure and head to Toledo with your local guide. Enjoy the scenery on the way to the city. Follow your local guide on a walking tour of the historic city of Toledo, a World Heritage Site since 1986. Once the capital of Spain, it is a spectacular mix of Arab, Jewish and Christian cultures.
Get to know its fantastic heritage and discover how the coexistence of cultures through the centuries influenced its current architectural style. Stroll among the courtyard cloisters and royal coats of arms at the Monastery of San Juan de los Reyes. Admire the building sponsored by Queen Isabella of Castile to become a royal mausoleum, the most important construction built by the Catholic Monarchs.
Right after the visit we will walk to the Synagogue of Santa Maria la Blanca. Originally built as a synagogue, it was expropriated and converted into a church just 211 years after opening its doors. Today, it is a fantastic Mudejar-style museum that you will visit. Admire El Greco's world-famous painting, The Burial of the Count of Orgaz, in the Church of Santo Tomé. Did you know that Greco himself lived in this wonderful city?
The guided tour will end in front of the Cathedral of Toledo, considered the most important of the Gothic style in Spain. Afterwards, you will have free time to explore Toledo on your own before returning to Madrid.
