Our guide is an excellent knowledgeable professor with three majors in history, tourism and business. We skip Al the long line and got the wealth of knowledge and experience that only the private local tour company can have! 5-Star!!!
Thank you very much for your wonderful 5-star review! We are truly grateful for your kind words about our guide and for highlighting the value of a private, local tour experience. Knowing that you enjoyed skipping the lines and gaining deeper historical insight means a great deal to us. It was a real pleasure to host you, and we sincerely hope to welcome you back to Madrid for another unforgettable experience. Warmest regards,
Our guide was very informative. She got us through the line quickly, and we learn a lot about the history of the palace. We highly recommend the tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of your Royal Palace tour! We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a real pleasure to guide you, and we’re delighted to know you enjoyed the visit. Your kind words mean a lot to us and encourage our team to continue delivering memorable, high-quality tours. Whenever your travels bring you back to Madrid, we would be honored to welcome you again. Warmest regards from Madrid,
Hernan was our guide and he was excellent. I have pulmonary fibrosis so he insisted on pushing me in a wheelchair (I have difficulty with stairs so we were able to take the elevator). Hernan was wonderful at pointing out details that I might have missed and arranging our position so that I got great photos. He was very knowledgeable about the history, the art (look at Tiepolo’s airy clouds for example), and the decoration. To top it off, he refused a much merited tip. Hernan was just the best guide we could have had for the Royal Palace. I have to mention that I’ve visited a lot of Palaces including Versailles and this palace is definitely worth a visit.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, and especially with Hernán. He will be very happy to know that his passion and knowledge made your visit memorable. Your kind words mean a lot to us and motivate our team to keep giving the very best to our guests. We would be thrilled to welcome you back whenever you return to Madrid! With gratitude and warm regards,
Marta was the best Tour Guide we have met in Spain. She took us on a 5 x hour walking tour of The Royal Palace & El Prado Art Gallery. She was incredibly knowledgeable, informative and very personable. She managed to look after 23 people & to engage with everyone for the entire time. A truly memorable day, thank you Marta!
Dear Bonnie F, we're glad you enjoyed your tour with Marta, but we'd like to clarify that at Madrid Museum Tours, we don't have a guide named Marta, nor do we conduct group tours. We only offer personalized guided visits for individual travelers. Therefore, it would be helpful if you could post your positive review on the appropriate website to make Marta happy when she reads it.
Irina was lovely very informative!!! Will definitely tell my friends about her if going to Madrid. She was very organized with pictures for us to see.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review of your private Royal Palace tour with Irina! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a great time, and we truly appreciate your kind words.
Irina was an excellent guide & very informative. I did pay for a private tour for myself & my daughter, however we were joined by another couple. It was fine, but not a private tour which is what I paid for!
Dear Chrysa, First of all, thank you so much for booking with us and for taking the time to leave a review on TripAdvisor. We really appreciate it! Since your booking was made at the last minute and two of our guides unexpectedly became ill, we had no choice but to either combine your group with another couple or cancel your tour. To make up for this, your guide arrived an hour early to stand in line, ensuring you didn’t have to wait, and also purchased the palace tickets for you (which are not included in the tour price). That said, we’d be happy to offer you a 50% refund as a gesture of goodwill. Best regards, The Madrid Museum Tours Team
As on all previous occasions, when we have visited the Prado Museum with this agency, the visit to the Royal Palace was excellent. Whenever we travel to Madrid, we book a visit somewhere in the city with The team of Madrid Museum Tours. They never let us down.
Irina is a charming guide for the Royal Palace. She is a trained European historian and her knowledge is indispensable for the understanding of the convoluted history of the Bourbon Hapsburgs who lived here for many years. The palace is the largest in Europe, but you will see only a fraction of its rooms, all of which are extravagantly splendid. The tour was somewhat pricey for the two of us, and I suspect we could have done quite well with the iPad version alone, but having a personal guide answer our questions was extremely helpful
Thank you so much for your review. It was a pleasure to talk with you about the history of our Kings and clarify your doubts. An instructive and nice dialogue between clients and guide is an unbeatable way to learn, something that the I Pad version can hardly match. There are various options to book our 46 private tours. Regarding price, you booked our private tour in a Trip Advisor site. Warm regards from always beautiful Madrid
