Description

Discover Santander on this private guided tour with transportation, which will take you through the historic center, to the iconic Palacio de la Magdalena, and on a scenic tour.
Discover Santander on a carefully designed tour that combines history, elegance, and spectacular coastal landscapes.

On this tour, your guide will pick you up at your hotel in a minivan to take you to the city's most iconic sites.

Your first stop will be a walking tour to explore the heart of the city and its historic center. Here, we will discover the imposing Santander Cathedral, the Pereda Gardens, and the avant-garde Centro Botín, an internationally renowned cultural and architectural landmark.

We will then head to the iconic Palacio de la Magdalena, the former summer residence of the Spanish royal family and the setting for the TV series “Gran Hotel.” Here, we will explore its stunning surroundings and, whenever possible, its interior. As this visit is subject to availability, if it is not possible to carry it out, an equally appealing alternative will be offered: a hop-on hop-off train tour of the Magdalena Peninsula, a visit inside the Cathedral of Santander, or a full refund of the booking.

Next, we will take a scenic tour of El Sardinero, Santander's most elegant and tourist-friendly neighborhood, known for its wide avenues and stately character. This will be a scenic tour in our minivan to see sights such as the Casino del Sardinero, the Racing stadium, and Mataleñas Beach, among others.

The tour culminates with a visit to the impressive Cabo Mayor Lighthouse, a prime location from which to admire the cliffs and the power of the Cantabrian Sea. A perfect ending that encapsulates the natural beauty and unique character of Santander.

At the end of the tour, your guide will take you back to your chosen hotel or restaurant in Santander.
