Hidden Madrid: Private Tour of El Capricho Park & Secret Gardens

Hidden Madrid: A Private Escape into Quiet Beauty

Madrid is famous for grand museums and lively plazas—but there’s another side: tree-lined paths, neoclassical temples, and gardens that whisper their stories.
Our Hidden Madrid Private Tour takes you to El Capricho Park and a curated selection of low-crowd, high-charm spots that most visitors never find.

This is Madrid at your rhythm: unhurried, elegant, and deeply atmospheric.

Highlights You’ll Love

• El Capricho Park — an 18th-century romantic garden with cypress avenues, pavilions, and a neoclassical temple perfect for quiet contemplation and beautiful photos.

• Secret Garden Corners — optional strolls through lesser-known landscaped spaces (think tucked-away rose walks and classical fountains) where locals go to recharge.

• Stories that Bring Places Alive — your guide weaves history, architecture, and anecdotes into an easy, engaging narrative—designed for curious travelers, not textbooks.

• Private Comfort — door-to-door transfers and a flexible route, so you enjoy more beauty with less walking if you prefer.

Prefer fewer steps? We adapt the route with scenic viewpoints and seated stops.
