Any trip to Madrid should feature two things: a visit to the Prado Museum and a meal at Botín. On this tour, you'll experience both!

Then, you're off on a guided cultural walking tour through Madrid to Botín, the oldest restaurant in the world. Head behind the scenes for an exclusive tour before enjoying a three-course meal, including their signature dish.
