What to do and see in Madrid, Community of Madrid: The Best Archaeology Tours
So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

2. Muslim Madrid
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 1 reviews
Did you know that Madrid was originally founded by Mohammed I of Cordoba as a line of defence against Christian invaders to the north? While the citadel was eventually conquered by Alfonso VI in 1083, only the ruling classes and military of Al-Andaluz were forced to flee. Muslim citizens stayed on in a morería for centuries. Starting where the original fortress was built, this tour follows the fate of the city's Islamic community from when Madrid was part of Al-Andalus up until the forced conversions of 1502.

I was only in Madird for a few days and this tour highlighted all the main attractions and points of interest in Madrid. Amazing value at Euro14 for a 2 hour tour, even though around 20 minutes is spent stuck in traffic, I suspect it would be the same on most days traving around a major european city. There is a recorded audio and also a tour guide on the bus that speaks good english. Our tour guide was Diana who was very knowledgeable and caring towards my children. I would say its an exellent way to experience Madrid.

We took the half day afternoon trip to Segovia 11/16/20. Everything was on time and smooth. We really didn’t need the guide as she gave very little information especially once we were in the town. We walked to the Alcazar and she gave us our tickets and said meet at the bus @6:30. It would’ve been nice to have a guide inside the castle but it was fine. Just FYI if you go in the winter it is much colder and windier in Segovia than Madrid!! Seems expensive just for the bus ride there.
