Great tour of the palace.... - Great tour of the palace. It was nice to have the skip the line option and have someone walking with you, rather than just using a self-guided listening device.

Great Tour! Optional Tapas a scam. Don’t bother with the add on - The tour itself was great. Lovely guide and super informative. We had opted for the optional tapas which didn’t work out at all. The place they told us to go to wouldn’t let us in. Had to do a dispute to get $$ back. Forget about the ad on.

Very average - Rather functional, sizeable group (30?). I’m not sure having the guide added very much vs walking round on your own with an audio guide.

Horrifying Experience - The guide was French and I could not speak Spanish so even if I had a lot of knowledge of the Royal Palace that I also doubt it I could not transmit it. He understood absolutely nothing. Don’t throw away your money that the palace is very nice and what the other guides there told us was very interesting. I contacted the company and they told me that they would refund the money for the visit deducting the cost of admission because it was an error of appointment of guide that they thought I could speak Castellano but that he could not tell me more because his boss did not work on the weekends. After this, the answering machine jumped. Of 156 euros I was returned only 38 and not what he had told me on the phone. Let's make a claim, see what obstacles we run into.
