What To Expect
Royal Palace of Madrid
The largest royal palace in Western Europe is a must-visit for all.Home to the Kings of Spain from Charles III to Alfonso XIII, Madrid's Royal Palace takes us on a journey through the history of Spain. Though it is no longer the royal family's home, it continues to be their official residence.
Museo de la Catedral de la Almudena
This imposing church and the Royal Palace nearby form one of Madrid’s most popular tourist attractions.Madrid's cathedral, which stands in Hapsburg Madrid, has a short but tortuous history. The first plans for the church were drawn up in 1879 by Francisco de Cubas, who wanted to create a pantheon for the late Queen Maria de la Mercedes. The foundation stone was laid in 1883, but when Pope Leo XIII granted a bull in 1885 for the creation of the Madrid-Alcalá bishopric, the plans for the church were changed to become plans for a cathedral.

5.00This is a MUST-DO experience. It's a great way to get an overview of the city upon arrival which will allow you to pinpoint what's to see. Álvaro was the absolute sweetest in accomodations and catering to our groups interests. He was knowledgeable, playful, and passionate about what he does. Plus all his recommendations for restaurants and cafes have been perfect. I recommend this company enough!!!

4.00Our guide navigated the urban route with ease. My bike quality was just "okay." It had both head breaks (weak) and coaster breaks, which I am not used to, so I could not backpedal. It was not an e-bike and I did not need it. We had opportunities to stop at sights for a few minutes where our guide shared stories of history/significance.
Fun Day!

5.00Spent a fabulous 3 hours cycling round Madrid with Ronald seeing all the sights and beautiful buildings, and learning so much about the history of this wonderful city. Always feel daunted in large cities, but riding through the different districts and learning about their individual characteristics made it feel like visiting a number of small towns. Most definitely the best way to experience Madrid in a short time.
