Royal Day - The porcelain room and the Tiepolo ceiling frescos. Equally memorable were the magnificent chandeliers. We were both intrigued by the opium room.

A solid introduction to current Spanish royalty. - It was just about the right length. Good mix of recent history and early royalty. Guide was knowledgeable. Sound device was less than great.

Beautiful and historic place - The palace was amazing and beautiful. It helped to have the live guide give us more of the background. There were of course many things he didn’t have time to explain so at a few points I felt like we were kind of rushing through. The while tour took about 90 minutes.

Royal Palace - The tour itself was excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable and fluent in english and spanish.
Our original tour time of 8:00AM was cancelled, however there was no notification. We were informed upon arrival and then placed in the 12:15 tour. It would have been better to remain informed. There was no email or text notification.

Good tour but not Engish only as advertised. - Tours leave on time so don’t be late! I signed up for an English only tour and it ended up being bilingual. As a result I feel I got 1/2 of the content I could have. Maybe they had space and decided to fill it.

Scam! - This company scams people by offering a date close to the day of the booking , you put in the date you desire and then they send you tickets with a date in the future and then say there is no cancellation and no refund. . Trip advisor and other travel websites need to block their offerings.
