Additional Information

Inside the Palace, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the core architecture of the Spanish Monarchy through various eras. Elaborate clocks, lavish decor, and the very finest forms of art are all on display. Perhaps most significantly, there’s a lot to learn about Spanish History since the palace’s construction (and even some real gems from before), making this tour as educational as it is visually magnificent. This knowledge will undoubtedly enrich the remainder of your Spanish adventure.

From our early days at places like the Prado, we made it a priority that our offerings must be sustainable to maintain our highest standards. Therefore, we limit our groups to a maximum size of seven. While you may already be knowledgeable about the Royal Palace, such as its 3,418 rooms and luxe interiors, what sets this tour apart is our genuine consideration of your experience.

We stand firm in our dedication to you and our beloved homeland. Our goal is delighting you and ensuring you return home with warm and lasting memories of your time here and our quaint corner of the globe.

Location
Plaza de Oriente
We will meet at Phillip IV equestrian statue (in the centre of Plaza de Oriente). The guide will have a sign with the company's logo (The guides you need). We strongly recommend to arrive 15 minutes before (we are strictly punctual).

Great tour of a gorgeous Palace! - Isabelle proved to be an outstanding tour guide, brimming with passion and a deep well of historical knowledge. Her effervescent personality added a vibrant dimension to our tour of the palace, which itself was a marvel of grandeur and opulence. Each room we visited seemed more magnificent than the last, filled with rich history and intricate details that Isabelle brought to life with her insightful commentary. Opting for a small group tour turned out to be a brilliant decision. It allowed us the freedom to ask questions and delve deeper into the palace's history without feeling rushed or bogged down by large crowds. Isabelle's ability to engage with each of us individually enhanced our experience, making the tour both informative and engaging. Caution: The steps leading into the Palace are not for the faint-hearted or for those who, like me, planned poorly by booking at the end of an already exhausting day. I highly recommend booking in the morning when you're feeling fresh or at the end of a leisurely day. We made the mistake of cramming two tours into a single day, and by the end of our visit, we were left with sore feet that required soaking in buckets of ice and water. The palace grounds are expansive, requiring quite a bit of walking—enough to easily achieve your daily step goal in one go.

Superb Jaunt through Spanish History - Great small group tour, just three of us. Despite some time changes due to the upcoming 10-year anniversary for the King and preparations at the Palace, Macarena did a superb job dealing with the compressed schedule...extremely courteous, supremely knowledgeable, and immaculate English made the tour a memory we will cherish a lifetime. Highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable tour! - We really enjoyed this tour. Skipping the line is worth it. The regular line had a wait over an hour and we were able to bypass it. Oyala was our guide and she was fantastic! She had some great background about the palace and about each room that we visited. Each member of the tour was provided a headphone so that we could hear our guide as it could get quite loud inside the palace. The Palace is huge! Several great photo opportunities in the palace as well as on the grounds. I would recommend visiting the Royal Palace during your visit to Madrid and this tour is the way to go!

Fun and informative tour with Alex - An excellent tour with Alex who is clearly passionate about the Royal Palace, its history and past residents. He explained the dynasties at the beginning of the tour so we would know who he was talking about and re-capped from time to time which was helpful. I would highly recommend a tour with Alex to fully appreciate the grandeur of this palace.
