a great experience - It was a great experience to take a private tour and stroll around the palace in el escorial .I enjoyed the pleasure of strolling around the surrounding nature and gardens, visiting places with incredibly beautiful paintings and historical weight, and having a very relaxing conversation and time.This time, the entrance to the meeting place was not the one with many tourists lined up, but the one with the smaller one,then moved to the front entrance.

AMAZING VISIT - We decided to get to know the Escorial and decided to take a private tour. I think it is cheap for everything we have learned with Ana. She is a professional guide, with a lot of knowledge and very funny anecdotes. We went with children and everyone was attentive to their explanations because they focused on how they would like the story. Without a doubt we will repeat the Royal Palace. We know that the visit will not disappoint us. Thank you Ana.
