Your private sightseeing car ride in Madrid

What do you do when you have only a few hours and want to make the most of them? At the end of a cruise, we had to be out of our cabin by 8:00 am. But our flight from Barcelona wasn't til 4. What to do with the time in between? And what to do with our luggage. We contacted Welcome and set up a private half day tour with a transfer to the airport. We were met by Cesar who took us to the places we'd missed the previous day, then to the airport with plenty of time. Cesar was professional, competent and humorous. The Mercedes van was clean, airconditioned and comfortable. It was a great value for the limited time we had.

We wanted the company's half-day Barcelona tour customized a bit for the four of us, plus a pick up at the our hotel and a drop off at our cruise ship in the nearby port. We were able to arrange all quickly & efficiently with the office staff & everything was just as promised. Our guide, Fernado, was extraordinarily educated and well-prepared. All morning we felt as he was a friend traveling with us, tailoring direction and information to our interests. With all of the superlatives on TA, clearly this is a company one can trust. And Cesar, many thanks for making our morning so memorable.

We made a great choice hiring Welcome to take us around Madrid. Our driver, Joshua, was interesting and intuitive about what we would like to see and his lunch suggestion was perfect. We only had one free day, and we were able to make the most of it on this day tour. The scenery was breathtaking and the shops were incredible. Next time we are in Madrid, we will definitely hire Welcome, again, for another tour.

We had the most fantastic day tour with our guide and driver Aitor. He picked us up promptly at the agreed time and could not do enough for us. He was good fun, knowledgable and considerate and took us to many places we would never have experienced alone, also incorporating a coffee stop at an authentic coffee bar and a fabulous lunch with the best tapas ever at a traditional Spanish restaurant- we had an amazing day - thank you Aitor and thank Welcome.
