Royal Palace visit - David was our very knowledgeable guide today. He was extremely informative and very kind with giving us time to take pictures and at the same time gave us loads of really interesting facts about the palace and its history. Highly recommend David as a tour guide.

Small Group tour of Madrid Palace - Semi private tour with 4 people. Ana met us at designated meeting place and gave a great summary of what we were going to see. Explanations by Ana throughout the tour were very detailed and interesting. The two and a half hours flew by and the additional cost of being with a small group was well worth it.

A++ - Our tour was amazing. Worth every penny! I wasn’t sure if a guided tour made sense over a cheaper self guided Audio tour but so glad we went with a guided tour. Couldn’t have left more satisfied.

Great Experience - This is our first time in Madrid and we had a wonderful experience on this tour! Our guide Marta was very knowledgeable and well spoken. She did an amazing job giving us a complete and narratively cohesive tour while navigating amongst larger groups. We left with a much stronger sense of both the Royal Palace and the city of Madrid’s history, plus excellent recommendations for later visits!
