On this exclusive private tour, you’ll have a dedicated guide to explore centuries of history within one of Spain’s most impressive monuments.
El Escorial Monastery, a national treasure, showcases the power and wealth of the Habsburg dynasty. With priority entrance, you’ll explore its many rooms. The library is a prime example of Phillip II’s Humanism, reflecting his passion for science and the arts, while the basilica reveals the religious context of the time. In the Royal Pantheon, you’ll discover the building’s grandeur and learn about figures like John of Austria, the illegitimate son of Emperor Charles V.
Your tour will end in the Hall of the Battles, where you’ll encounter breathtaking murals that will leave a lasting impression.
Afterward, you can explore the Renaissance gardens, created for both kings and monks, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and forest. If you’re lucky, you may even spot the peacocks that call these gardens home!

5.00The visit to the Monastery of El Escorial was fantastic, and much of it we owe to Isabella, our guide. He explains clearly, masters the subject perfectly and in a close and very pleasant way, so he enjoys it a lot. The monastery is really amazing. Above all the library and the Royal Pantheon impresses: it has a mysterious air and a history that feels like just entering. The village of San Lorenzo de El Escorial is also worth it; it is cozy and perfect for walking and eating there after the visit. Isabella recommended local places and got it right. All in all, a great experience thanks to Isabella. To repeat!
El Escorial is impressive

Excellent knowledge, very detailed explanation, she told us in a nice way about historical facts (not boring at all).It was a very nice day. Thank you for explaining the complex story in such an entertaining way. I can only recommend Isabella Dagmar and Guido Germany

5.00The Escorial is so beautiful and Isabella is a PHENOMENAL guide!!! She is so engaging and knows so much about art, history, culture, etc. We did this excursion as a group of friends and everyone really enjoyed and were very entertained. Sometimes tours can get boring or be a little dense, but Isabella kept it interesting the whole time.

5.00This is the second time I've explored Madrid and its surroundings with Isabella and I'm delighted with her. Two years ago the Literary Quarter and now El Escorial. It's well worth it because in such a monumental place you can get lost among so much information. Isabella is rigorous, approachable, and pleasant, and she managed to convey the importance of the Escorial and capture our attention. He also shared some super interesting facts about life in the Palace. What we liked the most was the library! The 2 hours flew by. Come on, I highly recommend it!

5.00The visit with Isabella was great. We learned a lot, but without feeling like you're in a history class. He has a great historical and cultural knowledge, and communicates it in a very simple, direct, spontaneous and with a great sense of humor. His treatment is very close and makes the experience different. We loved his philosophy that other tourism is possible: closer, respectful and quality tourism.
A very personal visit

5.00We spent an exceptional family day with this visit to the Monastery of El Escorial by Isabel, a spontaneous, fun and deeply knowledgeable guide to the historical and cultural context it presents. The best: your commitment to a quality and respectful style of tourism. Worst thing: he has so much to tell that a single visit falls short. Fully recommended.
