Great tour! Loved having a small group, it made asking questions so much easier. The Palace is amazing and our guide paced our tour very well giving us time to soak it all in and ask our questions all while expertly navigating us around the many large groups (of 25 or more people) also touring throughout the Palace.
Our last day in Spain and what a way to end it! Our guide was Beatriz and she was fabulous. So knowledgeable and engaging. Highly, highly recommend.
David is personable, energetic, knowledgeable and fun. I really enjoyed learning about the palace and it's history. The Stratavarrious instruments were a highlight.
We had a small group which ended up being a private tour since we were the only ones. David was very friendly and knowledgeable. Happy to answer any of our questions. Let us take our time:
Guide was personable and knowledgeable. Allowed for questions but not constant like some others we have experienced. Palace closing early wasn’t ideal as it cut total time of your
Amazing job! Flo was awesome and I would recommend this tour to anyone. She is very knowledge and super funny! I love it!!
We had a great tour of the Royal Palace today with Jose! He made the tour fun and passed on so much history and cultural knowledge, Madrid really came alive for us. It was good to skip the long line and have each room explained. A great way to see the palace!
Jose was FANTASTIC! I learned so much about the history of Spain and how The Palace came to be. He knew all the secrets of the Spanish Empire and really impressed us. Excellent tour!!
Alphonso was a great guide and our semi-private tour became private when my wife and I were the only ones that afternoon. Informative, friendly and a wonderful way to get more information about the palace and Spanish history in general. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.
Great tour inside the palace. Guide was amazing and very knowledgeable. A must do tour in Madrid. Full of nice experiences and stories.
