We craft each itinerary around you, so this suggested itinerary is a starting point that we can change or transform into something completely bespoke to you.
On arrival at Madrid Airport, enjoy a private transfer to your hotel in a premium vehicle. Your chauffeur will be waiting for you at the arrival terminal holding a sign with your name, and will accompany you to your vehicle for the journey into the city (approx. 35 minutes). Landing time management included, with 1 hour waiting in the arrival hall. The remainder of the day is at leisure to settle in and enjoy a first stroll through the Spanish capital.
Step into the rich tapestry of historic Madrid on an exclusive private guided tour. Your journey begins in the Madrid of Los Austrias, the district named after the powerful Habsburg dynasty, where Philip II established the epicentre of his imperial court in the 16th century. Marvel at noble facades, centuries-old convents and majestic squares like the iconic Plaza Mayor.
Continue to the enchanting Plaza de Oriente, where the neoclassical Almudena Cathedral stands in striking contrast to the regal Palacio Real — the largest royal palace in Western Europe, surpassing even Buckingham Palace and Versailles in size. Inside, explore the opulent Throne Room, the Royal Armoury and a rich collection of paintings, sculptures and tapestries. The tour concludes along Gran Vía, Madrid’s vibrant main artery, lined with eclectic and modernist architectural wonders from the early 20th century.
Travel with your private chauffeur to Toledo, Spain’s historic former capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city, where Christian, Muslim and Jewish influences harmoniously intertwine. With your expert local guide, wander the hilly medieval streets and admire the blend of Gothic, Renaissance and Mudéjar architecture.
Highlights include the Gothic Cathedral, a pinnacle of Spanish religious art built on the site of the ancient Great Mosque; the Santo Tomé Church, home to El Greco’s masterpiece “The Burial of the Count of Orgaz”; and the 14th-century Synagogue of El Tránsito, today housing the Sephardic Museum — a poignant reminder of Toledo’s role as a prominent centre of Jewish culture. After the tour, your guide will recommend the finest local establishments for a leisurely lunch before your return to Madrid.
After breakfast and check-out, your chauffeur will transfer you to Madrid Atocha station for the high-speed AVE train to Seville (approx. 2 hours 30 minutes), gliding south across the plains of Castilla-La Mancha into the heart of Andalusia. On arrival at Santa Justa station, your driver will be waiting to transfer you to your hotel. The afternoon is at leisure — perhaps a first stroll through the orange-scented streets of the old town or an aperitivo on a rooftop terrace overlooking the Giralda.
This walking tour is the essential introduction to the multicultural heritage of Seville, visiting the city’s two major World Heritage monuments and its most evocative quarter. Accompanied by your expert official guide, explore the Alcázar Real in depth — an extraordinary juxtaposition of artistic traditions, where a courtyard from the 12th-century Almohad rule coexists with Gothic and Renaissance palaces adorned with ceramic tiles and tapestries.
Continue to the adjacent Cathedral, the largest Gothic church ever constructed, with 80 chapels, countless works of art and, supposedly, the tomb of Christopher Columbus. The ancient mosque on whose site it was erected still shows its bygone splendour in the Orange Tree Courtyard and the Giralda, the lofty minaret turned bell tower that is today the symbol of Seville. The visit concludes with a stroll through the historic Santa Cruz quarter, once home to an important Jewish community, with its maze of passageways, landscaped plazas and intimate patios.
Depart Seville with your private chauffeur for a full-day journey through the legendary Pueblos Blancos — the white villages of Andalusia. Wind through the dramatic landscapes of the Sierra de Grazalema, where whitewashed hamlets such as Zahara de la Sierra and Grazalema cling to hillsides crowned by Moorish watchtowers, their narrow streets bursting with flowerpots and panoramic vistas.
Continue to Ronda, the most celebrated of them all, dramatically perched above the El Tajo gorge. With your local guide, explore the Plaza de Toros, the illustrious 18th-century bullring where the distinctive “Corridas Goyescas” take place; the medieval Moorish gardens of Casa Don Bosco with panoramic views over the valley; and the Santa María la Mayor church, a Gothic masterpiece built on the grounds of the ancient grand mosque, where a preserved mihrab symbolizes the coexistence of Christian and Moorish legacies. Enjoy a leisurely lunch in Ronda — or, optionally, a tasting of organic wines and regional delicacies at a boutique winery overlooking the town — before returning to Seville.
After check-out, your chauffeur will transfer you to Santa Justa station for the direct high-speed train to Granada (approx. 2 hours 35 minutes), crossing the olive-clad hills of Andalusia. On arrival, a private transfer will take you to your hotel in the heart of the city. Spend the late afternoon at leisure — we recommend a sunset stroll along the Paseo de los Tristes beneath the walls of the Alhambra, or dinner at Carmen Mirador de Aixa with striking views of the illuminated palace.
Perched high on a strategic hill dominating Granada, the citadel of the Alhambra displays a collection of lush gardens and magical palaces — the only royal residences of an Islamic dynasty still standing since the Middle Ages. Courtyards where water is omnipresent, and walls covered in refined geometric and floral motifs, recreate in codified manner the image of the Garden of Eden.
During the tour, your guide — an expert in Islamic Art — will explain the secrets and symbols contained in these palaces worthy of the Arabian Nights: the mathematical achievements, the philosophical concepts and the metaphors of the poems carved on the walls, the reflection of a whole civilization.
Discover the oldest and most atmospheric quarter of Granada on a private walking tour through the Albaicín, the labyrinthine Moorish district declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With your expert local guide, climb its winding cobbled lanes past whitewashed carmenes — traditional houses with hidden gardens — aljibes (ancient cisterns) and remnants of the original Zirid walls, tracing the daily life of the medieval Muslim city.
Pause at the celebrated Mirador de San Nicolás for the most famous panorama in Spain: the Alhambra rising against the snow-capped Sierra Nevada. Continue through the old silk market quarter and the Calderería, where teterías (Moorish tea houses) and spice stalls keep the legacy of Al-Andalus alive, and on to the fringes of Sacromonte, the historic cave district and cradle of Granada’s zambra flamenco tradition. The tour ends with your guide’s recommendations for lunch in a traditional carmen, and the afternoon is yours — perhaps an indulgent Arab bath experience in a historic hammam of the lower Albaicín (optional, on request).
After breakfast and check-out, your driver will pick you up from your hotel for a private transfer to Granada (or Malaga) airport for your departure flight.
