Spain private driver

Hi-
I am traveling to Madrid with my 2 kids and want to maximize time with a driver from Toledo to Granada with maybe a stop in Cordoba.
We are traveling in mid- June and I prefer not to do the driving myself. Because of time I don’t think we have a night for Cordoba-
We are spending 2 in Granada
Ronda - 1
Sevilla - 2
Has anyone had experience with Daytrip?

Perhaps it’s better to ignore Madrid and concentrate on the south
In terms of the 4 big draws
Toledo- Cordoba- Granada and Sevilla-
We are flying into Madrid

That’s a great itinerary
I’m trying to use time wisely with sights and stops that I wouldn’t see on the train….
Thanks for the input

I like Ronda, but I can't imagine prioritizing it over Cordoba or another night in Seville. Seville is a large city with many and scattered sights. You aren't even giving it two full days. You are really spending too much time moving from place to place with your 2-2-1-2 schedule. You need more time with your feet on the ground.

What to prioritize and am traveling with an 8 yr old ( who is a great traveler but still…)
I need to focus

If you had lots of time to meander, I would not dissuade you from a car, but these towns are all linked by bus and train, and you don't have a lot of time for stops. You will spend a lot for private transfers when you could easily get where you need to go on public transport. If your child has no interest in art, then I could see giving Madrid short shrift and getting to Andalucia, which probably has more attractions to hold an eight year old's attention.

Yes- it helps to hear what is a good plan
Thanks so much for all the input
I have been reading everyone’s questions and it all sounds amazing but I have a limited week.

Spain is chock-a-block with wonderful destinations. It's truly hard to go wrong--as long as you don't try to cram two weeks' worth of destinations in to one week. That will not go well.
