A lot of memories to enjoy over time - It is one of the most visited places which is both a museum and a service building. This dual purpose made the tour very exciting. We had a very good guide, Florin, and obviousely you can see that he studied a lot, so he could offer to the tourists at a high level of professionalism - the outmost benefits of their visit. The beautiful paintings, rooms, furniture, statues and decoration were enhanced by his explanations, very well documented and novel. I cannot say that in the Royal Palace I liked one item more than another, because all of them were so beautiful and interesting. Still, I would just mention - but not limited to - the clocks, the crystal chandeliers, the Stradivari violins, the king crown, the somptuous room of the throne. We took a lot of pictures and we will enjoy wonderful memories over years.

Visit to the Royal Palace of Madrid - I loved the visit. Our Guide, Carla, was great! He knew a lot and made it enjoyable and interesting. The palace lacks a cleaner inside, but it is worth the visit.

Great experience! - Except for the 40 minute delay of our guide, the experience was pleasant. We had interesting and complex information about history and art, detailed descriptions and interactive discussions. The palace itself is fabulous. It was a beautiful experience that surpassed the 40 minutes wait from the start of the tour.

2 hour guided tour of the Palace - good but perhaps too long. - Entry to the palace very straightforward and quick with the guide - no queuing. Very friendly guide however quality of audio equipment was poor. It was difficult to hear the guide due to static interference. The guide did a very good job speaking for 2 hours, however it was clear English wasn't his first language which made it difficult to pick up a lot of what he was saying. Toilet facilities at the start of the tour were limited to two cubicles resulting in a long delay to the tour starting. The tour lasted two hours and felt longer than it needed to be.

Prepare your guides more - The Guide didn’t speak English very well, he got very nervous and didn’t know several details that were asked, I think they should prepare their guides more and especially when they don’t master the language in which they will give the tour.
