Toledo, Alcala and Aranjuez, one day Private Tour from Madrid

About this experience

The Private Tour to Toledo, Alcalá de Henares, and Aranjuez from Madrid is an ambitious and richly varied full-day exploration of three of the most historically significant royal and imperial cities within the Comunidad de Madrid region — experienced in the exclusivity and flexibility of a fully private guided format. Toledo's UNESCO World Heritage medieval city — the former imperial capital of Spain and one of Europe's most extraordinary concentrations of multicultural architectural heritage — provides the day's most historically substantial and visually dramatic chapter, its labyrinthine old city rising above the Tagus River in a dense layering of Gothic, Moorish, and Jewish monuments.

Alcalá de Henares — the birthplace of Miguel de Cervantes and home to one of Europe's most historically significant universities, whose famous Colegio Mayor de San Ildefonso represents the finest example of Spanish Renaissance Plateresque architecture — provides a chapter of intellectual and literary cultural richness before the tour concludes in the magnificent Royal Palace and gardens of Aranjuez. The UNESCO-listed Aranjuez cultural landscape — its formal French-influenced gardens, the Royal Palace's extraordinary decorated interiors, and the romantic woodland along the Tagus providing a fitting royal finale to a day of exceptional historical and architectural variety.

What to expect

Start your day in the cultural city of Toledo, in which one day Muslim, Jewish and Christian cultures coexisted. Walk around the known as the second Rome, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. During your tour, you will have a panoramic visit to the Cathedral of Toledo, the `Mirador del Valle´, the `Monasterio de San Juan de Los Reyes´ and the San Martín Bridge, where you can also appreciate the route of the Tajo river. After strolling through the cobblestone streets of Toledo, our next destination will be the imperial city of Aranjuez. There, we can visit the Gardens of the Royal Palace of Aranjuez. We will walk through the gardens of this palace and you will not be able to take your eyes off its beautiful Royal Palace of Aranjuez! You will enjoy a beautiful walk around this picturesque city. Alcalá de Henares is very well known thanks to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, where the writer was born. Here, you will see the house of the author of the most famous book in Spanish literature, the ingenious `Don Quixote de la Mancha´. We will also walk along its main streets, full of old arcades, and visit one of the buildings of the University, founded in 1499 by Cardinal Cisneros.
