Description

Step into Spain’s royal history on a half-day guided tour from Madrid to the UNESCO-listed Royal Monastery of El Escorial. Begin your journey by meeting your group in central Madrid, then relax on a comfortable, air-conditioned coach as you leave the city behind.

Explore the impressive Renaissance architecture of El Escorial with your knowledgeable guide. Marvel at the symmetry of the Habsburg’s Palace, the Chapter House, the grand Basilica, and the library, all while learning about their significance in Spanish history and culture.

If you select the extended option, continue to the Valley of the Fallen, set in the scenic Sierra de Guadarrama. Witness the imposing underground basilica built into the mountain and gaze up at the world’s largest cross, visible from miles away, making this a truly unforgettable experience.

Your tour includes admission to all sites, a local official guide, and round-trip transportation. Please note that food, drinks, and hotel transfers are not included. The experience lasts about 4.5 hours and involves walking and stairs, so comfortable shoes are recommended.

Places are limited to keep the group intimate and the experience personal. Secure your spot today and immerse yourself in two of Spain’s most significant monuments—book now before it fills up!
