Madrid from the sky: Rooftops & Gran Via tour

0

From the Landscape of Light to the Madrid sky: experience the capital of Spain from a unique perspective. History, architecture, and stunning views come together on this evening stroll, focusing on the iconic Gran Vía, one of the city’s most famous streets. This guided tour explores how the skyline of Madrid evolved during the 1920s, when heights and rooftop terraces became an essential part of architectural design.

The Landscape of Light
Walk through the heart of Madrid’s “Landscape of Light”, discovering the buildings, theatres, and historic landmarks that define Gran Vía. Learn fascinating stories about the street’s past, including the times when the legendary American writer Ernest Hemingway roamed these streets and later chronicled his experiences of the Spanish Civil War.

Madrid’s Rooftops
From above, the city’s rooftops, you will have a spectacular panorama of Madrid’s historic and modern architecture, giving you a fresh perspective on the capital’s charm. This experience would not be complete without the possibility to enjoy a drink while taking in breathtaking views, all accompanied by a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Whether you’re a photography enthusiast, an architecture lover, or simply looking to experience Madrid from a new vantage point, this tour combines culture, history, and leisure for an unforgettable experience above the city streets.

Highlights
  • Architecture and History of the Gran Vía
  • Skyline of Madrid
  • Drinks in the heights
  • Access to Cibeles Palace
  • Puerta de Alcalá and Retiro, weather permitting

FAQ

Where does the tour start?

Your guide will meet you at your hotel or apartment at the starting time of your tour.
An airport, harbour, train station or entrance to a monument can also be a starting place if requested, please let us know.

Occasionally, if we think it will help maximize your experience, we will suggest meeting at a landmark location somewhere central. In this case, directions will be provided and the guide will have a clear sign with your name on it if needed.

Can I combine two or more themes/itineraries?

Para Half day tours:
Indeed you can! You can book two of our half day tours on the same day, one starting at 9:00 and the next starting at 15:00. Having enough time in between for a nice lunch break. If you already have a lunch reservation, we can have your guide meet you at the restaurant, or we will get in touch to suggest a meeting point for the second tour.

Para tours de Full Day:
Because this tour is a full day tour or excursion, it is not possible to combine it with another tour on the same day. You can book another tour on the following day though!

If you are looking to combine many tours and cities, but you do not know where to start, we can offer you a tailor-made itinerary and/or a travel consultation.

Do you offer shared group tours?

No, we don’t. All our tours are individually delivered just for you and your party.

Is a private tour really private?

Absolutely. If you book a tour with us, you are the only client for that tour.

Can I choose my guide? Will you personally be our guide?

Spain is a big country and of course every area has its specialists. We have chosen from the best guides in every region, guides specialized in private personal experiences. You will always know who your guide will be in every city and for every tour. If you book more than one tour in the same city you will have the same guide (if available).
We are so sure the guides we work with are excellent and passionate that we are certain you will love them.

Are the tours in a vehicle or on foot?

Walking tours: This tour is a walking tour. In Spain most city centers are pedestrianised, therefore only by walking will you get to experience them.

The price of the tour does not include transportation, so if it is required to take public transportation or a taxi from your hotel to the meeting point, that will be at the clients own cost.

If you wish private transportation for this tour, please contact us! info@spainprivateguides.com

Excursion with vehicle: For this tour a private vehicle with a driver is required, so the price will depend on the number of people and the type of vehicle. Please contact us to book this tour.

Can we share the tour with other people?

That choice is up to you. We do not provide open small group tours. However, if you meet a couple of extra people at your conference, or on your cruise, or if your mother-in-law wants to tag along at the last minute, that’s all fine. Your tour, your group, just let us know so we provide a full service for everybody! (entrances, car seats, public transportation tickets…).

What if I need to cancel?

No matter how well organised you are, there is always the chance that something annoying may get in the way of your travel plans. We absolutely understand this, so we offer very generous cancellation terms.

*By booking with us you accept our Terms and Conditions.

Which is the Payment Method?

We accept wire transfers or any kind of payment method accepted through the STRIPE platform, such as credit cards. Stripe is a secure platform and you do not need to have a Stripe account to make your payment.

Can I pay on the day?

No, sorry. We need a payment to secure the booking.

Can I pay in $US?

No, sorry. We are a European business and all our guides live and work in Europe. Payment is accepted in euros only. Thank you for understanding!
