A propos de cette activités

Au départ du centre de Madrid, découvrez l'histoire vieille de plusieurs siècles qui a marqué la ville de ses origines médiévales arabes à nos jours. Découvrez également les racines mauresques de Madrid en contemplant les anciens bâtiments du Barrio de la Moreria, l'ancien quartier mauresque. Admirez ensuite les bâtiments Renaissance et baroques de la dynastie des Habsbourg sur Calle Mayor, Plaza Mayor et Plaza de la Villa. Photographiez les fontaines baroques aux mille détails et ne manquez pas de visiter le célèbre musée du Prado.

Longez le Monumento de la Encarnacion, la Puerta de la Opera, la Puerta del Sol, ainsi que de nombreux autres sites et places célèbres : c'est sous le règne de Charles III, au XVIIIe siècle, que la ville de Madrid est devenue un important centre culturel et scientifique, attirant une kyrielle d'artistes et d'intellectuels.

Puis admirez les sites contemporains des boulevards Gran Vía et Paseo de la Castellana de Madrid. Admirez l'architecture des élégants quartiers Barrio Salamanca et Parque del Oeste et traverserez les quartiers commerciaux et financiers de Madrid. Découvrez les icônes des temps modernes comme les arènes de Las Ventas ou le stade Santiago Bernabéu et promenez-vous dans le parc le plus récent de la ville, Madrid Rio, de Puente del Rey à Puente de Segovia.

Prenez une pause au Hard Rock Cafe de Madrid et profitez d'une boisson gratuite, continuez ensuite vers le Palais royal, l'ancienne résidence de la famille royale espagnole. Construit dans le style baroque italien classique au 18e siècle, sur le site de l'ancienne alcazar (forteresse arabe), il est l'un des plus beaux palais et les mieux préservés d'Europe. Votre visite guidée du palais de Madrid replace le bâtiment dans son contexte, le somptueux complexe entourant la Plaza de Oriente, les jardins Sabatini et le Campo del Moro.

La visite du palais révèle la superbe collection de tapisseries, porcelaines, horloges antiques, armures et œuvres d'art de la famille royale. Admirez des tableaux inestimables de Goya et Velázquez, visitez la salle du trône, la galerie des Glaces et les salles de banquet royal et découvrez les appartements royaux privés. L'excursion vous emmènera également à travers l'arsenal royal, la pharmacie et le grand hall de colonnes.

Votre excursion se termine à l'extérieur du Palais royal vers midi.

Took the Madrid and royal palace tour. Not impressed by our tour guide Isabella. I was hoping for an informative tour, but instead got a tour filled with yelling and no clear time limit on each bus stop.

Good value. We thought we had signed up for a walking tour and then the palace. However we got the sightseeing tour on a bus and then the palace. Turned out ok. Bus trip allowed us to see parts of city we probably would not have seen. The palace tour was wonderful. Excellent overview of the palace and excellent tour guide. Thoroughly enjoyed

I really can't recommend this tour. We were told to get off the metro stop, Opera, and walk to their office. Unfortunately we got lost at Sol3 floors underground. It would have been far better to tell us to take a taxi to the palace and walk one block to their office. We arrived late which was our fault and I understand that. However, in Spain, the guide/tour groups usually do not buy entrance tickets in advance. They wait until they know how many persons are in the group and purchase the tickets when outside the monument. When I asked about the entrance tickets to the palace which we had paid for in this tour, I was told we would have to go to the palace and buy new ones. This cost me another 20 Euros. If the guide was given tickets in advance, he would have known that 2 persons were missing they all have lists of passenger and all he had to do was leave the tickets at the office so that we could pick them up when we arrived. I'm certain that we were not the first people to arrive late. This organization pocketed the entrance fees in my opinion and made no attempt to be customer friendly. Something similar happened to us in Cordoba but--that tour group did did everything to satisfy us their customers. If you decide to take this tour, and you are not familiar with the Madrid metro system, take a taxi to the palace gate and walk to the office.

Victor booked us on the wrong day even though our printed receipt was for the correct day. Thus, we did not get to do the tour. I am not sure how this happened.

My husband and I really enjoyed this tour that was conducted by Carmen Gonzalez. She is an excellent guide who clearly knows a lot about Madrid and has a great passion for her city. As it was raining on the day of the tour, we stated off at the Palace. What an amazing place to see in Madrid, complimented by the fact that Carmen's knowledge of the place meant everyone on the tour really got a great understanding of each individual room they were standing in and the significance of the symbols in the rooms. We carried then on outside and saw many beautiful parts of the city, including Plaza Mayor -wow - its truly incredible! I would recommend this tour for sure and thank Carmen for the time she spent with us.
