On this visit to Madrid I toured the Royal Palace and Escorial. It was an amazing contrast to see Spanish royal palaces from two different periods. Given that Spain’s monarchy is so important for its history this is a must do.
Full tour with very informed guide and very attentive with the group, very interesting to know the most outstanding works of the Prado museum and know in detail the Royal Palace.
All the information that I got from my tour operator Amaya about the Royal history of Spain. Beautiful place, amazing
The palace is interesting, though not as opulent as Versailles. Our guide, Amaya, was excellent. We learned a great deal about Spanish history
Thank you for leaving your opinion. We are glad that you had a great experience and were able to enjoy the Royal Palace a lot. We will pass on your words of gratitude to the guide Amaya
A superb guide! She was able to give us lots of detail and a great sense of context for what we were seeing, and she had a lovely, entertaining manner.
From the Rutas Madrid team thanks you sharing your opinion and we are very happy that you enjoyed the tour. We would love to see you on another tour. Thank you very much!
The guide was great! We were taken advantage of by the phone reservation person. She sold us a double tour. I explicitly asked for the Royal Palace tour only and when the tickets arrived in my email they included the Prado as well. We had already visited the Prado. It was a very expensive “error”.
Dear Kristin, The visit to the Royal Palace has an option to expand the route and you chose the option visit the Palace and visit the Prado Museum. For our part, we are completely committed to giving a professional and friendly treatment to the client and so it was. Our team takes care of receiving the confirmed reservations so that the client has a great experience, we also bought all the tickets and rented your vehicle for your group, we are oblivious to the intermediary agencies. We apologice for the problem that the other agency may have caused you. Best regards
The Royal Palace is just beautiful and full of history. Our guide took us on a real journey through the history of Spain with excellent explanations of all the items/paintings/architecture on display. Full credit to our guide as we would not have appreciated even a small percentage of what we saw without her there. A definite must-see in Madrid!
We were fascinated by the Royal Palace, the guide was incredible and a great professional who explained everything to us with great detail and passion. He also showed us the armory museum, it is one of the most important in Europe, very interesting and luxurious!
Excellent tour, the guide very competent and friendly. Complete tour of the Royal Armory at a very comfortable pace.
A very complete tour seeing the Palace and Royal Armory. The very prepared guide made it very enjoyable, telling anecdotes and making us participate in the experience.
