Madrid Tour with Skip-the-Line Royal Palace and Prado Museum

This VIP Madrid Walking Tour features early-entry Madrid Royal Palace tickets that get you inside a full hour before the general public. Afterwards, you'll enjoy a wine and cheese-tasting at one of the city’s most iconic markets, and appreciate stunning views from a rooftop terrace.

Your Madrid Walking Tour starts in the beautiful Plaza Oriente, where you'll meet your expert local guide and group of 15 fellow travellers. With early-entry Madrid Royal Palace tickets, you'll get into Madrid's version of Versailles an hour before the public, so you can take in the opulent interiors and world-famous art without the crowds. Your guide will bring the rooms to life with stories about the powerful dynasties that once called it home.

Afterwards, you'll head to the Barrio De la Morería to learn about Madrid's Muslim roots, then on to one of the largest food markets in the city to taste wine, cheese and olive oils at one of our favourite stalls. 

Next, your Madrid Walking Tour will take you deep into the medieval streets of Central Madrid, stopping at jaw-dropping landmarks, like the Plaza Mayor (where they once burned heretics) and the Puerta del Sol - Madrid's Time Square. Your guide will tell you the story of this area and how it went from a Moorish outpost to the most powerful city in Europe. All our tours are run in English only, meaning you won't have to wait as the guide addresses both English and Spanish-speaking tour members, and you'll have plenty of time to ask them questions. 

There's one last surprise before you go: your guide will take you up to an exclusive rooftop terrace overlooking all of Central Madrid. From up there, they’ll point out landmarks and give you plenty of recommendations for what to see, do and eat during the rest of your stay.
