Wonderful tour with Jose, learned so much! Jose is truly first rate, we’ve done a bunch of private tour, but he really stands out with his passion and knowledge.

Jaime was an excellent tour guide!! His extensive knowledge of the history, the art in the palace and answer to questions was so impressive. He was very gracious, friendly and attentive the whole tour. I highly recommend him and the tour.
Beatrice was a great guide. Very informative and had a great style of having us interact with with stories and history of the palace. Lots of information and on a crowded rainy day, but made the whole experience fun.
Enriquez did a great job! He gave us many details about the palace and Spainish history with great enthusiasm.
Beatrice C was a terrific guide. Extremely knowledge and friendly. Taught us a lot of the history of the palace and Spain.
The best way to experience the royal palace is to join a private or semi private tour with a licensed tour guide. I enjoyed it tremendously.

Isabel, with her entertaining way of sharing the Palacio Real and Spain’s Royal history made this visit an amazing one. The palace and its rich history were well delivered and her passion and fun way of sharing her knowledge captivated us completely. Time went by really fast. It’s been the best choice to visit the Palacio Real and learn all about its inhabitants of old and new times. Thanks a lot Isabel!
