De Paseo Experience is a guided-tour operator based in Toledo, Castilla‑La Mancha, offering private and small-group cultural tours across Toledo and Madrid. Specializing in museum visits, historical city walks and tailored day trips, the company connects travelers with Spain’s major art institutions — including the Museo del Prado, Museo Reina Sofía and Thyssen‑Bornemisza — and the monumental sites of Toledo such as the Catedral Primada and the Alcázar.
Guided itineraries include language-specific options in English and Spanish, with occasional Portuguese departures, and a mix of private tours and small-group experiences for museums and walking routes. De Paseo Experience organizes themed routes like the UNESCO-listed Paisaje de la Luz (Prado and El Retiro), comprehensive Madrid essentials that combine the Royal Palace and Prado, and full-day Toledo programs that pair cathedral visits with local gastronomy such as traditional lunches, tapas tastings and olive oil samplings.
The operator also offers specialized options: stadium tours at the Santiago Bernabéu, guided access to royal collections, and transport services to regional attractions (for example, organized transfers to Puy du Fou). Many experiences include skip-the-line entries or museum-focused guided narratives delivered with radio guides in small-group formats.
