Itinerary
Our meeting point is next to the Opera Metro Station, in front of the Royal Theatre. Your guide will be holding a sign with The Touring Pandas logo.
With over 3.000 rooms, this building is Europe's largest royal palace: it is twice the size of Buckingham Palace!
The Cathedral of La Almudena is one of the finest examples of neoclassical architecture in Spain. This magnificent cathedral is where the King and the Queen of Spain celebrated their marriage in 2004.
This picturesque plaza is now a very quiet place in the center of Madrid. But it was far busier in the past! The building on the right side of the square used to be the City Hall until it was moved to the Palacio de Cibeles in 2007.
San Miguel is one of Madrid's oldest markets, now turned into a mecca of modern cuisine and trendy tapas! Don't miss the chance to take a glimpse at the people coming and going, the shouting and the laughter. Will you resist the temptation to take some gourmet souvenirs?
This majestuous plaza surrounded by arches is one of the most popular to have a drink and spend a pleasant afternoon under the sun. This place in the heart of Madrid is always full of life and it's one of the best to find a good Bocata de Calamares!
Our tour ends at the Puerta del Sol, the most famous plaza in Madrid. This place is famous because it's the main venue to welcome the New Year. The plaza is full of anecdotes and curiosities like Spain's km0, the Tio Pepe advertisement...
At the end of the tour you will enjoy a genuine, 60-min live flamenco show at the famous tablao Torres Bermejas.

My experience was wonderful! The way our and flamenco show will easily be an unforgettable experience. I would not have learned or picked up on the nuances of the meanings of symbols or structures around Old Town if we were alone. Tiwon, our guide, was fun, laid back, and very hospitable. The flamenco show was hands down the most interesting part of our trip. I was moved by the passion, flair, and skill displayed. The show was about and hour long which was impressive.
The Flamingo Show is fantastic. The dancers are amazing. It is a must visiting Spain. And after the show, have a drink any ware in the city.
Great dance and good food. The tour guy is so knowledgeable in history. He took us around town. I learned so much. I wish I had read before I went. There are so much history to learn.
BEST tour in the city and AMAZING team speaking English - Chinese-Korean-French and of course Spanish. See you soon ! Allez Bonne Visite!
Our tour guide Julien was very knowledgeable and was an absolute pleasure. He gave us great restaurant recommendations as well. The Flamenco show was a lot of fun. The food isn’t great, but it was terrible either. I definitely recommend.
Julian of Touring Pandas was very professional, considerate, educational, and overall fun to be with. You can see the enthusiasm and genuine pride while on tour. He gave us a lot of good information, was our personal photographer throughout the tour and also gave us insights into the other places to go and see, and food to eat while in Madrid. Get this same package or other Klook / Touring Pandas packages - you will not regret it! Julian - 5-stars!! *****
