Private tours beyond Barcelona: Madrid, Andalusia & more
We've spent years building a network of hand-picked guides across Spain. The same no-generic-tours philosophy we apply in Barcelona travels with us everywhere else.
The same approach, in every city
Spain doesn't start and end in Barcelona. We know that better than anyone.
Every guide we work with outside Barcelona goes through the same selection process as our own team. Experience matters, yes but what we really look for is someone who can read a traveler, adapt on the fly, and turn a monument into a story. We don't work with guides who recite scripts.
Madrid: Private tours in Spain's capital city
Monumental and relentless in equal measure.
The Prado, the Retiro, the old Habsburg quarter, the chaos of Lavapiés, Madrid doesn't slow down, and neither do its best guides. The city rewards people who go beyond the obvious, and we know exactly where that line is.
What we can set up:
- Private walking tour of the historic center (Austrias, La Latina, Sol)
- Guided visit to the Prado or Reina Sofía with an art specialist
- Architecture-focused tour from Habsburg to contemporary Madrid
- Gastronomy tour: tabernas, mercados, vermouth culture in Malasaña
Toledo: Step inside Spain's medieval capital
An hour from Madrid by high-speed train, and a completely different world.
Toledo is a medieval city frozen mid-sentence: Christian, Moorish, and Jewish history compressed inside a single city wall on a hill above the Tajo river. Most people treat it as a half-day add-on. We'd push back on that.
What we can set up:
- Full-day private tour: Cathedral, Alcázar, Jewish Quarter, synagogues, El Greco
- Half-day focused tour (Cathedral + historic center)
- Combined Madrid & Toledo in a day, private car and driver included
Seville: Private tours in the heart of Andalusia
Andalusia's capital earns its reputation.
The Alcázar alone justifies the trip. But Seville is also a city that punishes rushing: the Santa Cruz quarter, the Triana neighborhood across the river, the covered markets, the flamenco venues that don't perform for tourists. We know the difference.
What we can set up:
- Private walking tour of the historic center — Cathedral, Giralda, Alcázar, Santa Cruz
- Neighborhood deep-dive: Triana, Macarena, El Arenal
- Flamenco experience at a non-touristy venue (curated, not the packaged shows)
- Gastronomy tour: tapas bars, Mercado de Triana, local vermouth culture
- Half-day or full-day, on foot or with private driver
Granada: The Alhambra, and everything the Alhambra isn't
The Alhambra is one of the most extraordinary buildings in Europe.
It's also one of the most booked-out, getting in without planning ahead is nearly impossible, and seeing it without context is a waste. We sort the tickets and provide the context. The Albaicín, the Sacromonte caves, the tea houses of Calle Calderería: Granada has layers most visitors never reach.
What we can set up:
- Private guided visit to the Alhambra, Nasrid Palaces, and Generalife Gardens (tickets coordinated in advance)
- Albaicín & Sacromonte walking tour: Moorish Granada and cave district
- Full-day Granada private tour combining both
- Optional: flamenco in Sacromonte (authentic tablaos, not tourist venues)
Córdoba: where a mosque became a cathedral
Best visited as a day trip from Seville or Granada, though it deserves more.
The Mezquita is genuinely unlike anything else in Spain, a mosque-cathedral hybrid that shouldn't work architecturally and absolutely does. The Jewish Quarter around it is one of the best-preserved in the country. A half-day with a good guide goes a long way here.
What we can set up:
- Private guided tour of the Mezquita-Catedral
- Jewish Quarter walking tour (Calleja de las Flores, synagogue, patios)
- Combined Córdoba day trip from Seville or Granada
San Sebastián & the Basque Country
A different Spain entirely.
The Basque Country has its own language, its own culinary tradition, and a density of Michelin-starred restaurants per capita that makes food people genuinely emotional. San Sebastián's pintxos bars on a Saturday morning are worth a trip on their own. Bilbao's Guggenheim changed what museums can look like. We work with guides who grew up here.
What we can set up:
- San Sebastián pintxos tour: Old Town, bar hopping with context
- Guided visit to the Guggenheim Bilbao with an art specialist
- Basque Country food & culture full-day private tour
- Combination: San Sebastián + coastal villages (Zarautz, Getaria)
Planning a multi-city trip? We can coordinate the whole thing.
Many of our clients combine Barcelona with two or three other Spanish cities. We can design a coherent itinerary across the whole trip — not just the Barcelona part.
That means one point of contact, consistent quality, and guides in each city who know we're sending them someone worth their time.
- Barcelona + Madrid (2–3 days each, high-speed train between them)
- Barcelona + Andalusia circuit (Seville, Granada, Córdoba — 5–7 days)
- Barcelona + San Sebastián + Madrid (north–south route, 7–10 days)
- Full Spain: Barcelona, Madrid, Toledo, Seville, Granada, Córdoba
