Beautiful palace! Great tour with Maria. - Maria was a great guide, knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic about the information she shared. Her English was easy to understand even though the headphones always have a little static in my ears. The tour was interesting and thorough. The palace is beautiful, well worth the visit. Glad we could skip the long entrance line with our tour group. Also glad for a small group of 12 people.

Real Palace, a must visit - Our guide Maria was very knowledgeable and made sure all members of our group were taken care of. A must see and great experience. Highly recommend it as a tour versus staying in line with an individual ticket.

Grand tour, grand palace! - Very informative. Wouldn’t do an unguided tour of this magnificent Palau. Our guide, Ricardo, was great! Had to wait to get in due to an excessively large group before us. Shouldn’t’t have happened. But Ricardo recovered nicely.

A Beautiful Palace - We had a great tour of this impressive palace. It compares very favorably with Versailles although it is much less known.

Worth seeing, but guide was hard to understand - The palace is beautiful and worth touring. Our guide was great but was hard to understand. The palace was also incredibly crowded (totally out of his control, but worth mentioning).

Incredible Palace! Skip the line is the reason to do this - The Royal Palace is definitely worth the trip. I don't know if you really need a tour guide or not, but to skip the line option is the only thing worthwhile.

Helpful information - Find yours such as this to be very helpful in terms of adding a layer of background to what we are viewing! Fairly typical for this kind of thing but helpful nonetheless.

Pretty, but skip it - The tour guide was great however the tour was subpar. I do not blame this on the tour agency. The palace tour requirements were super tight and we were all packed in like sardines
