Most guests arrive with one place in mind. Find yours below: the tour listed is the shortest one that passes it, and every longer tour passes it too.
| Place | Area | Shortest tour | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palacio Real (Royal Palace) | Calle de Bailén, 28071 | Flashbacks, 30 min | €49 |
| Plaza Mayor | Centro, 28012 | Flashbacks, 30 min | €49 |
| Sobrino de Botín | Calle de Cuchilleros, 28005 | Flashbacks, 30 min | €49 |
| Barrio de las Letras | Huertas, 28014 | Classics, 1 h | €89 |
| Museo del Prado | Paseo del Prado, 28014 | Highlights, 90 min | €119 |
| Museo Reina Sofía | Calle de Santa Isabel, 28012 | Highlights, 90 min | €119 |
| Parque del Retiro | Retiro, 28009 | Essentials, 2 h | €149 |
| Gran Vía | Centro, 28013 | Essentials, 2 h | €149 |
| Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas | Calle de Alcalá, 28028 | Royal, 3 h | €225 |
| Estadio Santiago Bernabéu | Chamartín, 28036 | Royal, 3 h | €225 |

| Casa de Campo | Moncloa-Aravaca, 28011 | Full Experience, 4 h | €299 |
| Puerta del Sol | Centro, 28013 | Full Experience, 4 h | €299 |
Two things worth knowing before you pick. The Puerta del Sol is only on the 4-hour route, but it's about a 7-minute walk from our start at Plaza de Isabel II along Calle del Arenal, so don't book 4 hours just for Sol. The Bernabéu is different: it's more than 4 km north of the palace, and only the 3- and 4-hour routes drive that far. Every place on all six routes is listed in our Madrid tuk tuk route guide.
The six routes
Each Tour, Step by Step
Think of our six tuk tuk tours in Madrid as one route that keeps getting longer. Here is exactly what each step adds, with a tip from our driver-guides for every one.
- 30 min€49 per tuk tuk9 places in total
Flashbacks: Royal Madrid in Half an Hour
The tightest loop we drive. It stays in the oldest part of the city, around the palace and the Madrid de los Austrias, the streets laid out under the Habsburg kings, and reaches the tapas lanes of La Latina.
The 9 places on this route- Palacio Real
- Catedral de la Almudena
- Muralla Árabe (Arab Wall)
- Iglesia de San Nicolás
- Plaza de la Villa
- Plaza Mayor
- Mercado de San Miguel
- Sobrino de Botín
- La Latina
Guide's tip: Going inside the palace afterwards? Take a morning ride. From October to March the Palacio Real closes at 18:00 Monday to Saturday and at 16:00 on Sundays.
- 1 h€89 per tuk tuk20 places in total
Classics: Old Madrid, South to the Literary Quarter
Twice the time and more than twice the places. After Royal Madrid the route drops south past the dome of San Francisco el Grande and the Puerta de Toledo, then climbs into the Barrio de las Letras, where Cervantes and Lope de Vega lived.
11 new places on top of the shorter tour- Basílica de San Francisco el Grande
- Puerta de Toledo
- Plaza de Cascorro
- Basílica de San Isidro
- Plaza de Tirso de Molina
- Teatro Apolo
- Barrio de las Letras
- Casa de Miguel de Cervantes
- Congreso de los Diputados
- Teatro Español
- Plaza de Santa Ana
Guide's tip: On Sundays and public holidays the Rastro market fills Plaza de Cascorro from 9:00 to 15:00, so pick an afternoon start for this route on those days.
- 90 min€119 per tuk tuk31 places in total
Highlights: Add the Paseo del Prado
The step for art lovers. The route runs the length of the Paseo del Prado, part of the area UNESCO listed in 2021 as Madrid's Landscape of Light, past the three big museums and Atocha station.
11 new places on top of the shorter tour- Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza
- Fuente de Neptuno
- Paseo del Prado
- CaixaForum vertical garden
- Museo Reina Sofía
- Estación de Atocha
- Real Jardín Botánico
- Museo del Prado
- Real Academia Española
- Iglesia de San Jerónimo el Real
- Casón del Buen Retiro
Guide's tip: Planning to go into a museum after the ride? The Prado is free in its last two hours (18:00 to 20:00 Monday to Saturday, 17:00 to 19:00 on Sundays and holidays), and the Reina Sofía is closed on Tuesdays. Check the museum's website before you go.
- Best seller2 h€149 per tuk tuk43 places in total
Essentials: The Old Town, the Prado, Retiro and Gran Vía
Our best seller, and the tour we suggest when someone asks for "the main sights". It joins the historic center and the Paseo del Prado to the Retiro, the Barrio de Salamanca, Cibeles and Gran Vía in one ride.
12 new places on top of the shorter tour- Parque del Retiro
- Puerta de Alcalá
- Barrio de Salamanca
- Calle de Serrano
- Plaza de Colón
- Biblioteca Nacional
- Palacio de Cibeles
- Fuente de Cibeles
- Banco de España
- Edificio Metrópolis
- Gran Vía
- Plaza de Callao
Guide's tip: From late November to 6 January, Gran Vía and the streets around Cibeles are lit for Christmas. In December, start at 18:00 and the whole ride is after dark, with the lights on.
- 3 h€225 per tuk tuk51 places in total
Royal: Old Madrid Meets Modern Madrid
The step that leaves the center behind. On top of the 2-hour route you reach Las Ventas, ride up the Paseo de la Castellana to the Bernabéu and the leaning towers of Plaza de Castilla, and also takes in Plaza de España.
8 new places on top of the shorter tour- Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas
- El Viso
- Estadio Santiago Bernabéu
- Barrio de Chamartín
- Plaza de Castilla
- Paseo de la Castellana
- Torre Picasso
- Plaza de España
Guide's tip: Check Real Madrid's fixtures before you pick a date. On home match days the streets around the Bernabéu fill up hours before kick-off, so tell us and we'll suggest a better start time. Las Ventas is busiest during the San Isidro bullfighting fair in May and June (8 May to 14 June in 2026).
- 4 h€299 per tuk tuk61 places in total
Full Experience: The Whole City, Parks and River Included
Everything above, plus Madrid's west side: the rose garden in the Parque del Oeste, the Templo de Debod, the Manzanares river at Madrid Río and the Casa de Campo, the city's largest park. It's also the only route through the Puerta del Sol.
10 new places on top of the shorter tour- Rosaleda del Parque del Oeste
- Templo de Debod
- Estación del Norte (Príncipe Pío)
- Puerta de San Vicente
- Campo del Moro
- Madrid Río
- Casa de Campo
- Parque de las Vistillas
- Viaducto de Segovia
- Puerta del Sol
Guide's tip: From October until the clocks change in late March, the sun sets before we finish at 20:00, so an afternoon start can catch the light at the Templo de Debod. Tell us you want the sunset and we'll suggest a start time.
Going longer
What You Gain Each Time You Add Time
Not sure the next tour up is worth it? The first three steps each add 11 or 12 places for €30 to €40.
| Step up | Extra time | Extra cost | New places | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30 min → 1 h | +30 min | +€40 | +11 | The south of the old town and the Barrio de las Letras |
| 1 h → 90 min | +30 min | +€30 | +11 | The Paseo del Prado and its museums |
| 90 min → 2 h | +30 min | +€30 | +12 | Retiro, Salamanca, Cibeles and Gran Vía |
| 2 h → 3 h | +1 h | +€76 | +8 | Las Ventas, the Bernabéu and the Castellana |
| 3 h → 4 h | +1 h | +€74 | +10 | Debod, Madrid Río, the Casa de Campo and Sol |
After 2 hours the places spread out. The Bernabéu is more than 4 km north of the palace and the Casa de Campo is across the river, so you get fewer stops per hour and more open road. If modern Madrid or the big parks are on your list, that time is well spent. If not, the 2-hour Essentials already covers the sights most people come for, which is why it's our best seller.
Still unsure how long to book? Our guide to how long a tuk tuk tour in Madrid takes works it out by situation, from a layover to a full day. And if you're weighing a tuk tuk against a bus or a walking tour, read whether a tuk tuk tour in Madrid is worth it.

Ask on WhatsAppHow many tuk tuk tours do you run in Madrid?
Six, all private: Flashbacks (30 min, €49), Classics (1 h, €89), Highlights (90 min, €119), Essentials (2 h, €149), Royal (3 h, €225) and Full Experience (4 h, €299). Each price is per tuk tuk for up to 4 people.
What is the difference between the six tours?
Length and reach. Every tour starts with Royal Madrid around the Palacio Real, and each longer one keeps all the earlier places and adds a new area: the Barrio de las Letras at 1 hour, the Paseo del Prado at 90 minutes, Retiro and Gran Vía at 2 hours, the Bernabéu at 3 hours and the Templo de Debod at 4 hours.
Which tour shows both old and modern Madrid?
The 3-hour Royal (€225). It covers the historic center, the Paseo del Prado and Retiro, then rides up the Paseo de la Castellana past the Bernabéu and the Torre Picasso to the leaning towers of Plaza de Castilla.
Which tour do I need to see the Prado, Retiro or the Bernabéu?
The Prado is on every tour from the 90-minute Highlights (€119), Retiro from the 2-hour Essentials (€149) and the Bernabéu from the 3-hour Royal (€225). You see each of them from outside.
Is the Puerta del Sol on the shorter tours?
No. Only the 4-hour Full Experience reaches the Puerta del Sol, at the end of its route. It's about a 7-minute walk from our start at Plaza de Isabel II along Calle del Arenal, so you can see it on foot before or after a shorter tour.
Which is the best tuk tuk tour in Madrid?
For most first visits, the 2-hour Essentials: 43 places from the Palacio Real to Gran Vía for €149 per tuk tuk. With only an hour, take the 1-hour Classics; for the Bernabéu, the 3-hour Royal. What to check before you book any company is on our homepage, under how to choose the best tuk tuk tour in Madrid.
Can I book any of the six tours on any day?
Yes. All six run every day of the week between 9:00 and 20:00, whenever a tuk tuk is free. Send your date and start time on WhatsApp and we'll confirm.
