Architour Gran Vía dai suoi migliori tetti con un architetto
Descrizione
Proponiamo di conoscere qualcos'altro Gran Vía dal punto di vista urbano, storico e architettonico poiché è stato concepito più di 100 anni fa fino alla sua ultima riforma. Inizieremo sul tetto del Circle of Fine Arts, opera di Antonio Palacios. Da lì conosceremo insieme lo sviluppo urbano di Madrid, Gran Vía e dintorni, rivedendo la storia di altri edifici di Palacios come sede del Consiglio Comunale o dell'Istituto Cervantes. Dopo aver sceso dall'imponente scalinata del Circolo e conoscendo l'edificio all'interno, inizieremo a percorrere la Gran Vía, fermandoci alla Loewe Foundation, al Chicote Museum e al Telefónica Building, il primo grattacielo di Madrid, alla cui fondazione accediamo insieme. Continueremo il tour conoscendo i vecchi Magazzini di Parigi, fermandoci su un tetto a Callao con vedute della terza sezione della Gran Vía che viaggeremo a Pza. De España dove saliremo sull'ultima terrazza sul tetto per bere qualcosa mentre vi parlerò del progetto che cambierà quest'area.

The tour was very informative about the history and architecture of Madrid. We went to some buildings I have never entered. My guide was very knowledgable
Emilio is a real local expert who gave us the chance to come to know the town from rooftop base where you not only see single sights but the relation among them. So many details going far beyond only Gran via helped us understanding the history of town. Despite the spectacular views on our way along Gran via we got so many insights into the history of town and country. Emilio guided us knowlegable and in a very friendly manner and our kids recognized so many of his hints during the week after that you can see how nachhaltig his tour has been. We strongly suggest to book is second tour about the old town in combination. Could not have been better, a real gem and an absolute recommendation! Thank you so much
Fantastic experience! Emilio was a wonderful and charming guide. Extremely knowledgeable about Madrid's history, eclectic architecture and current art exhibits. A thoroughly enjoyable and interesting time. Highly recommend this tour if you want to have fun and also learn about Madrid's architecture through the lense of culture and history. Thank you Emilio!
Thank you for taking the time to write a review, Annette. I am glad to know that you enjoyed the experience as I enjoyed showing the history of my city to you both. I hope we meet again on your next visit to Madrid in another of my architours.
I consider it as "must do walking seminar" in order to understand the background of the streets, the buildings and the history of the city! Our guide Emilio was great. His English was good. The tour and info provided accompanied us in the rest of days we stay in Madrid. We were a group of 4 and book a private tour (a little more expensive than booking in a group, but more convenient). Don't miss!
We enjoyed seeing the beautiful buildings along the Gran Via. The tour guide really knew his subject well. However, we felt that his opening talk about the history of Madrid was too long. To make matters worse, the weather was cold, windy and somewhat rainy. He needed to have a backup place to do his talks where we could be more comfortable when the weather wasn't cooperating. We also would have liked to see the interiors of more buildings and spend less time on the 2 rooftops.
Circulo de bella artes was definitely a treat! So much history and colorful and brilliant designs and construction through out the tour. Emilio was great and hospitable!
Tour guide Emilio was the right guy for this itinerary: an initial overview followed by in-depth walking tour of Gran Via. Architectural highlights placed in historical and geographic context. This one is probably mainly for the aficionado or at least those with a casual interest in details of architectural style presented with social and historical relevance. Some stairs involved, so no good for strollers and probably not for those under about 15 yrs old anyway. This is not a “light overview,” instead is rather specific. Highly recommend for the right travelers.
El tour de las azoteas de Gran Via es uno de los mejores tours que hemos hecho ultimamente. Emilio es un guia excelente, con un conociento enorme no solo de arquitectura pero tambien de la historia de Madrid y de España. Mi pareja es de Brasil y entonces Emilio nos dedico mas tiempo y nos explico la historia de Madrid desde la epoca Arabe para asi contextualizar mejor la historia y arquitectura de la Gran Via. Recomiendo este tour a todo el mundo, ya se sea de Madrid o de fuera. The Gran Via rooftop tour is excellent. One of the best tours we have done in a long time. Emilio is a fantastic guide. His knowledge of Madrid's architecture and history is impressive. My partner is Brazilian. Knowing that, Emilio made an effort and took extra time to explain the history of Madrid since very beginning (Arabic times) and therefore contextualize better Gran Via's architecture and history. I strongly recommend this tour to anyone either from Madrid or not !
Emilio is a brilliant guide, knowledgable and welcoming, and very organised. I found the tour fascinating and would not hesitate in recommending it. I learned so much about Madrid, from major milestones in history to intriguing anecdotes. Thanks Emilio!
Emilio is an excellent guide and as an architect and Madrid native is very knowledgeable about architecture but also about Spanish history. This was definitely our most memorable experience in Madrid.
