Unforgettable experience - Guided visit to Palacio Real was amazing. Tour guide Isabel Herrero Blanco, with her entertaining way to share her passion for the history of this wonderful place was contagious. She has a unique way to make history interesting and just to see all the treasures hidden between the palace walls that have been kept for so many centuries with her narrating the wonders of their history made this visit an unforgettable one. Thank you Isabel!!! This has definitely been a highlight on our first Madrid visit!
