Review of Madrid’s Gran Vía rooftop architecture tour, with Circulo de Bellas Artes, Telefonica, Carrion, city history, pricing, and tips.
“The tour was very informative about the history and architecture of Madrid. We went to some buildings I have never entered. My guide was very knowledgable”
Explore Madrid’s Arab, Austrias, and Bourbon eras with a local architect on a private 3-hour historic center walking tour.
“If you love an interesting walk through a historic part of Madrid with a knowledgeable guide, then this tour is for you. The guide, who is an architect, gave us snippets of history that put the buildings we viewed into context. He was solicitous and kind - and we enjoyed pausing to have coffee and converse midway through the 3 hour + tour.”
Explore Lavapiés and El Rastro with architect Emilio, uncovering Madrid’s architecture, politics, markets, theaters, and local food.
“Wonderful tour! Emilio had so much breadth and depth of knowledge around the history, politics and architecture of these neighborhoods. We SO appreciated his energy and enthusiasm and because of him we were able to see and appreciate many spots that we would have otherwise missed or perhaps seen but without contextualization. Our daughter is studying architecture and was in Madrid for the semester, we did this tour when we visited during her last month there. I wish she'd been aware of and able to go with Emilio for his other tour(s)-so much to learn about this beautiful city. Highly recommend booking this tour and wear your most comfortable walking…”
