The tour also includes a guided visit of the Prado Museum, where you can see masterpieces by artists such as Velázquez, Goya, and Rubens. Additionally, you'll enjoy a guided tour of Madrid's historic old town, known as Madrid de los Austrias, which is renowned for its Renaissance and Baroque architecture.

This is a small-group tour, ensuring a more personalized and intimate experience as you discover the highlights of Madrid with a knowledgeable guide.

The tour lasts approximately 8 hours. It is advisable to wear comfortable walking shoes as there is a significant amount of walking involved, especially in the cobbled streets of Madrid's old town. Considering the duration of the tour, you might also want to bring a water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat during warmer months. As lunch is not included in the tour, bringing some snacks or planning for a meal during a break in the tour could be a good idea. A small backpack or a bag could be useful to carry these items and any souvenirs you may wish to purchase along the way.

You can cancel the tour up to 48 hours before the start time for a full refund. This policy allows you flexibility in case your travel plans change. It is recommended to consider this window carefully, especially if you are coordinating with other travel arrangements or tours during your stay in Madrid. Cancellations made after this 48-hour window may not be eligible for a refund. Always ensure to manage your bookings ahead of time to avoid any last-minute issues.

Unfortunately, the tour is not wheelchair accessible. This is due to the nature of some of the older sites included in the tour, such as Madrid de los Austrias, which has uneven and cobbled streets that can be challenging to navigate in a wheelchair. If accessibility is a concern, it may be advisable to look into alternative tours or specific accessibility services that can accommodate such needs. Always check in advance to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience when planning your visit to Madrid's historic and cultural sites.

The tour price includes entry fees for both the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace with fast-track admission. However, lunch is not included, so you should plan for this additional cost during the day. Additionally, while inside the attractions, any special exhibitions or areas that might require an extra fee are not covered by the tour price. It's also a good idea to have some cash on hand for personal expenses such as souvenirs, snacks, or beverages outside of the tour itinerary. Remember to budget for these potential expenses to fully enjoy your day without any surprises.

The Prado Museum is one of the world's premier art galleries, featuring a vast collection of European art from the 12th to early 20th century.
