We are taking our first trip to Sevilla (4 nights) and Madrid (3 nights) beginning of May 2026. A question for all you well traveled people: Any recommendations for half day or full day tours (tour providers or guides) around Madrid and Sevilla? Tours that hit the highlights and possibly take you into important monuments, churches, museums, etc.?
We are taking a week long trip from Bordeaux so no jet lag and will not be renting a car, will be using public transport (trains, trams, etc.) We are focusing on Madrid, so, unless it's an easy half day trip, no Toledo or other outside Madrid areas. And we are focusing on Sevilla with a possible day trip to Cordoba. We will schedule a food tour on each arrival day with Eating Europe. So, any half day/full day tour guide/group suggestions?
As an FYI, I have used Get Your Guide to ferret out some good ideas in past trips and will do so again for this trip. But thought you all might have some good recs.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
KimberlySEA

Indeed and I have used those guides in other cities. I'm looking for recommendations from people on the board who've used guides (or even day tours), whether the RS recommended or others.
