Informative and Fun Tour - The tour of the palace was very informative and we had a lot of fun. Our group was small (4 guest plus the guide) and we were able to skip the long lines. We learned so much about the history of Madrid, the royal families, and the palace. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. I would highly recommend if you want to see the palace.

Great tour of a gorgeous Palace! - Isabelle proved to be an outstanding tour guide, brimming with passion and a deep well of historical knowledge. Her effervescent personality added a vibrant dimension to our tour of the palace, which itself was a marvel of grandeur and opulence. Each room we visited seemed more magnificent than the last, filled with rich history and intricate details that Isabelle brought to life with her insightful commentary. Opting for a small group tour turned out to be a brilliant decision. It allowed us the freedom to ask questions and delve deeper into the palace's history without feeling rushed or bogged down by large crowds. Isabelle's ability to engage with each of us individually enhanced our experience, making the tour both informative and engaging. Caution: The steps leading into the Palace are not for the faint-hearted or for those who, like me, planned poorly by booking at the end of an already exhausting day. I highly recommend booking in the morning when you're feeling fresh or at the end of a leisurely day. We made the mistake of cramming two tours into a single day, and by the end of our visit, we were left with sore feet that required soaking in buckets of ice and water. The palace grounds are expansive, requiring quite a bit of walking—enough to easily achieve your daily step goal in one go.

Superb Jaunt through Spanish History - Great small group tour, just three of us. Despite some time changes due to the upcoming 10-year anniversary for the King and preparations at the Palace, Macarena did a superb job dealing with the compressed schedule...extremely courteous, supremely knowledgeable, and immaculate English made the tour a memory we will cherish a lifetime. Highly recommend this tour.

Enjoyable tour! - We really enjoyed this tour. Skipping the line is worth it. The regular line had a wait over an hour and we were able to bypass it. Oyala was our guide and she was fantastic! She had some great background about the palace and about each room that we visited. Each member of the tour was provided a headphone so that we could hear our guide as it could get quite loud inside the palace. The Palace is huge! Several great photo opportunities in the palace as well as on the grounds. I would recommend visiting the Royal Palace during your visit to Madrid and this tour is the way to go!
