Madrid Private and Small Group Guided Tours

Madrid, Spain's capital since 1561, has played a major role in much of the country's history, serving as the backdrop to the Moors, Spanish monarchy, French occupation, civil war, and dictatorship in the 20th century under General Franco. Today Madrid is a graceful and elegant city, celebrated for its tapas, chocolate, and vast art collections, including the masterpieces at the Prado Museum.
