Visit the palace with previously purchased tickets - He strongly advised them to purchase their tickets online, trying to do so at the palace box office is a huge line. The gardens were being remodeled.

Madrid Tour a Must - Ana excellent guide! Tour was wonderful! It ran long, but I think due to guide translated tour in English and Spanish, which we knew upfront, but will avoid next time. We arrived at meeting spot early and spotted the white umbrella Ana was holding. Thank you for a lovely tour.

A Grand Royal Palace - Exciting day tour through this palace. Dianna guided the group with all the context required for that level of detail for such a place. There are Plenty of rooms to see with authentic furnishings and fixtures. The size of the property is extraordinary and must be acknowledged. Recommend highly. Also, if you can get to see the Royal exposition across the way next to the chapel, do it! Cannot be missed. There is much to see.

Not a recommended tour - The tour may have been better if the guide was nice and knew how to speak English properly. The tour was for English language only. They arrived late. Very hard to locate with just a white umbrella with the Satguru name on it. The tour is supposed to be skip the line, but you are in a line for 30 minutes while the guide talks about the palace to kill time. They provide no real history except for a few things about the royal family. I would skip this tour and take a self guided audio tour at my own pace. That worked well for Prado museum for me and my family.

Better to buy your own ticket - We waited in a fairly substantial line even though is was a skip the line tour, the headsets were painful and we couldn’t hear the tour guide anyway, we ended up leaving the tour and walking around ourselves

Worst experience we have ever had with Viator - We booked this tour because I have recently had a knee replacement and couldn't queue, however we were late leaving the meeting point then we had to queue for one hour. I was in agony and the Palace was so busy we couldn't see the rooms or hear the guide. It was the worst experience I have ever had with Viator
