Explore Spain’s Royal Heritage: A Stroll in Spain’s Capital and Royal Palace of Madrid Private Tour

Join an immersive journey through Spain’s capital with our exclusive Royal Palace of Madrid Tour, expertly guided by Irina Karasenko, a licensed guide and director of Madrid Museum Tours. This private experience is perfect for those seeking to explore both the grandiosity of our Royal Palace of Madrid Tour and the hidden pearls of Downtown Madrid that few tourists ever discover.

Irina will transport you through centuries of history, shedding light on the legacy of the Bourbon Dynasty in Spain, which continues to occupy the Spanish throne today. As she recounts the lives of monarchs from Philip V, the first Bourbon King of Spain, to the modern era, you will gain an intimate understanding of the convolute connections between Spain’s royalty and its history.

Within the palace, you’ll witness the breathtaking work of the Royal Workshops, established by Philip V, designed to reflect the opulence and artistic achievements of the Borbonic Dynasty. Irina will guide you through:

• Stunning Rococo mirrors and chandeliers
• The magnificent Porcelain Room
• Exquisite Royal Silverware and fine China
• The dazzling French cabinet
• Rococo and Neoclassical frescoes adorning vaults and ceilings
• The luxurious Royal Dressing Room and the grand Royal Dining Room
• The impressive Great Hall of Throne
• The historic Madrid Royal Armory, showcasing the famed armors of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and his son, King Philip II

Each room tells a story, showcasing not only the craftsmanship of Spain’s Royal Workshops but also the taste and cultural vision of Spain’s monarchs. You will feel as though you’ve stepped back in time, immersed in the grandeur and refinement of royal life.

But the Stroll in Spain’s Capital and Royal Palace of Madrid private tour doesn’t end at the palace doors. Irina will take you afterwards on a delightful walk-through Downtown Madrid, including the charming streets surrounding Puerta del Sol. Here, you’ll wander through areas that remain hidden from most visitors, enjoying lesser-known spots “off the beaten track.” As Irina explains the architectural styles of old mansions and buildings in the capital of Spain, you’ll gain insight into the city’s historical evolution.

Along the way, you’ll witness picturesque local customs, and Irina will share with you fascinating details about Madrid’s Old Town restoration, a process that has kept Downtown Madrid in impeccable condition.

This private tour is not only a chance to see Madrid’s most iconic sites but also to understand the deeper cultural and historical context behind them. Irina Karasenko’s friendly yet erudite explanations make history come alive in a way that’s engaging and easy to remember, ensuring that your visit to Madrid’s Royal Palace and Downtown Madrid becomes a highlight of your stay in the capital of Spain.
