Great Company with Excellent Guide - Great tour company and guide Frederico was fantastic! I was the only person to book the time slot and instead of them cancelling, they offered me a one-on-one tour for no extra cost! Frederico was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and beloved by every staff member we saw at the Palace! I would definitely recommend this tour agency. The Palace is beautiful, full of history, easy to navigate, and was not busy in January!

A must. The palace tour was a very nice addition to my Madrid visit - I feel I know so much about the Spanish history and the kings of Spain! Each room has a different decoration, all of them memorable. Thank you Beatrice! Excellent guided tour!

Go for it! - Rarely I write reviews. Rodrigo is the reason we enjoyed this tour so much. He’s knowledgeable, funny, witty, engaging with all ages and cultures, kind with everyone (including every single person that works in the palace), taking pictures in the best spot of everyone in the group (!), giving kindly info to those who thought he works in the palace. Diamonds can be found in the rarest of places. Book without a hesitation! You will remember his very entertaining and educational stories for ever. Two hours did feel like 2 minutes. Thanks Rodrigo! I wish I had some cash to give you so you could buy a coffee on us. The 2 Greek ladies.

Great Over View of Spanish Monarchy. - A great way to start out our stay in Madrid. The Royal Palace is a beautiful museum to experience. And a great way to get the history of the Spanish Monarchy.
Our tour guide Rosa was wonderfully knowledgeable and was easy to understand. She was conscientious about her group and ensured we were with her. Also, she was very receptive to questions.

The Palace is a Must See…skip the city walk - The tour of the palace is certainly worth the time. The rooms and information relayed was worthwhile and definitely something to behold. The city walking tour part was ‘meh.’…it was mostly walking to the palace….I’d recommend either expanding that part of the tour or skip it all together (don’t advertise it as such).

Worst tour guide for our entire Spain holiday - The tour operator had multiple groups go out at the same time, and we were unfortunate to be in the group where the guide was not good at all. He did not even bother to introduce himself so I don't know what his name is. He did not check who the participants were and assumed we were all following. There's a lot of rushed walking with awkward dead silence. I dont know if he even kept track of the tour participants if we were all still with the group because I fell behind some times to take pictures as he went by too fast to allow us to take the palace rooms in. This was our last tour in our Spain holiday so I have a lot to compare this tour with. When he spoke, he sounded like he followed a memorized script in his head, and on the rare occasion that someone asked a question, he couldn't provide a clear answer. Very disappointed with the tour but giving it 2 stars anyway for the little info we learned from his script and for the tour operator delivering in getting us into the palace.
