David and the royale palace private tour - We got David as our tour guide, what a great experience. Give the man a raise!! But seriously he’s charismatic and great with information. He knew everything he was showing us and really made it easy and clear to understand while still getting a deep understanding of the sight. Recommend the tour and especially David for anybody else looking into the tour.

Skip the line, David great tour guide. - David was great. He explained things well and gave our family an enjoyable tour of the palace. The like for the group tour was substantially shorter than the general one. Would recommend.

Skip the Line Palace Tour - 5 ⭐️ ! - Our private tour with David was worth every penny. We learned not only about the palace but also about the history of Madrid. David knew so much about the palace, the grounds and details we would not have been able to get otherwise. It was great to skip the line and 2.5 hours was just enough time. His English was great and he was extremely courteous and engaging. Highly recommended

History brought to life. - Our guide, Sean, provided a wealth of knowledge and shared his experience as a former history instructor. He not only provided a historical POV but also a taste of the current local flavors. The tour went off well, especially given the late changes by the government on accessing the Palace with a group.
