Must do! Palacio private tour - Pedro was a fantastic guide. We were shown the highlights and details of the palace that we surely would have missed without him. An added bonus was our insight to history of the area walking to and from our hotel. Would highly recommend!

Royal Palace Visit - A private tour of the royal palace is the way to go. Arturo guide was incredibly knowledgeable and took time to explain, not only the significance of the arts and artifacts in the palace, but also how they related to history in the Spanish empire. The palace, and get very crowded, but we need to places to stand and where to go to avoid the crowds. Having a private guide also gave us individual attention and Issac mobility, which was very good in a super crowded area, and made the experience much more enjoyable than being in a large group. Javier must be an encyclopedia because he knew so much about everything related to the palace. It’s history and it’s art. If we could have the chance to come back to Madrid, we will definitely be searching him out for repeat visits.

Royal Palace - We arrived in front of the palace and were contacted by our guide who introduced himself. He escorted us into the palace (we got to skip the huge line out front.) he was very knowledgeable and explained much of the history on why and how the palace was built. We entered the palace and our guide took the time and explained to us details in intimate detail to the point those not included in our family stopped to listen to him explaining to us what we were looking at. I enjoyed this tour very much and was able to learn a lot of the history of Spain and the amazing palace we toured. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone visiting Madrid!

Excellent private tour of Palacio Real Madrid - David our guide was very knowledgeable and personable. He provided us with interesting and entertaining background to the history of the Palacio Real and its relevance to the history of Madrid and Spain. We skipped most of the long lines and had a relatively uncrowded tour to the Palacio. We would highly recommend this tour.
