The Royal Palace is also called the Palacio de Oriente. The construction of the Royal Palace began in 1738 and the works lasted for seventeen years. Shortly after its completion, in 1764, Carlos III established his habitual residence there. The location of the palace was the same one that occupied the Palace of the Austrias, destroyed by a fire during Christmas Eve of 1734. The Palacio de Oriente is surrounded by the Campo del Moro gardens and the Sabatini gardens. The first, to the west, date from the Middle Ages; the latter were created in the twentieth century and are in the north. The Campo del Moro can be visited during the day.

Before Madrid was a capital of great avenues and boulevards, its map was made up of small streets and passages, which today take us to times of swordsmen and rogues. The Plaza Mayor began to be founded on the site of the old Plaza del Arrabal, where the town's most popular market was located at the end of the 15th century, when the court of Philip II was moved to Madrid. In 1617 the architect Juan Gómez de Mora was commissioned to establish uniformity to the buildings of this place, which for centuries has hosted popular celebrations, bullfights, beatifications, coronations and also some faith car.

The emblematic lions that flank the entrance are the work of the same sculptor and were cast with the iron of the cannons captured during the war in Africa. Under the pediment, the chiseled bronze door opens only on very marked occasions. Among the rooms of the building, symmetrical, stands out the well-known Session room, but also the library or the Conference room, better known as the "lost steps" room.

His name refers to his special relationship with the kings of Spain, to begin with it was built by order of the Catholic Monarchs and throughout history it became the place of spiritual retreat of several monarchs. In addition, for centuries it has been the scene of royal investiture in the absence of a cathedral and the wedding of Alfonso XIII was also held here, for which the great stairway leading to its door was built in 1906.

The two facades of which it is composed show different decorations, the inner face being easier (initially the one facing the city, which includes the four virtues: Prudence, Justice, Temperance and Fortress) than the exterior, chaired by the royal shield and with greater decorative wealth, which was what those who entered Madrid saw.

A great way to explore the city and get a sense of how Madrid came to be! Ivan was a wonderful guide, and provided us with a lot of insight into the history and culture of Madrid. He also let us adjust the time at different stops depending on what we wanted to see; the rose garden and viewpoint were both incredible!

Elena_I

Guide very knowledgeable, went through all the most interesting points of Madrid, explaining the history.

Julie_O

Carlos was a fantastic guide... informative, funny and enthusiastic. He made us feel welcomed and comfortable immediately and throughout the tour. My only regret is that we scheduled this for the last day of our visit and not the first. I would advise doing it first thing when visiting Madrid because afterwards you have a much better understanding of the city as well as additional places/areas/restaurants you would want to check out.

Reema_P

Excellent tour and tour guide! Amazing communication between the company as well. 10/10 recommend! They also provided blankets.

We arrived in Madrid a few days before our schedule birding tour so that we could see a little of the city and probably should have planned more extra days as we didn't have time for the Prado! While still in Arizona, I booked the Expert Plus Tour, which allows participants to get out at places they want to explore a little on foot. I would recommend this option since it gave us more time and allowed us to go into some beautiful gardens and inside some cathedrals. One of the ex-cathedrals I entered actually had a wedding in progress that was so impressive, even from afar. We spent quite a bit of time at the West Park Rose Garden where I could have probably spent hours. There were thousands of rose bushes that included hundreds of varieties that represented dozens of countries. Wow! This was another great advantage to this tour; Carlos told us that we could choose where and how long we wanted to stay at places we wanted to explore on foot. Carlos was very knowledgeable about the city and was thrilled that we were so interested in its history. He took us to some special places, like where there was part of an old Roman wall exposed and the Temple of Debod that was moved from Egypt to Spain before the Aswan Dam flooded its valley. This tour definitely gets an A+ from us! For several days after our tuk tuk tour, I recommended it to other travelers that we met during our time in Madrid. I took many photos and don't have time to edit any so I'm posting them straight from the camera. Hope you enjoy!

This tour was so much better than a bus tour. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour -- we were pleasantly surprised to learn that we had rented the entire Tuk Tuk for ourselves. Juanjo was knowledgeable and showed us sites that we wouldn't have found on our own. Well worth the money to have a personalized tour.

Lucia was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable and personable, and a great driver. I had been to Madrid before, but she showed us several spots and parts of town that I was unaware of. She adjusted the time at each stop for our interests. This was exactly the type of tour we were looking for (afternoon of our arrival day).

Stopping at the church for a quick visit. Very friendly with our family. Would recommend him to anyone.

Deborah_D

We had an excellent experience on our Tuk Tuk activity. We did not have but one day in the city so this was a great way to see a lot in a short period of time. Unfortunately, it was raining and cold so we were not able to get out and see as much on our tour as our host would typically do but we were happy with what we did get to see. Our host went above and beyond to make sure we had blankets to keep us warm and made a few unexpected stops that we requested. I would recommend the tour.
