With 25+ experts in our network in Madrid, we can organize a wide range of Madrid private and small group guided tours and other activities for culturally curious visitors. Some of our most popular private tours in Madrid include our Introduction to Madrid tour, which provides a general introduction to Madrid through historically or culturally important sites like Plaza Mayor, Puerta del Sol, and the market, and our in-depth Spanish Civil War Tour with a historian, in which we examine what life was like under Franco's fascist reign, and how Spain eventually emerged from this dark period. Other options include our Madrid for Kids tour, which examines a similar array of sites as our Introduction to Madrid tour with a family guide trained in Visual Learning Strategies, using clues around us to imagine life at different stages of the city's history; and our Reina Sofia Tour, which takes a deep dive into some of the most important 20th-century works from such artists as Miró, Dalí, and Picasso, with a particular focus on his world-changing Guernica.
