Quick palace tour

Our tour guide Clara was extremely knowledgeable regarding the palace. She provided the exact tour we were seeking (not too long) but also informative. We had one person that had difficulties walking up stairs. She arranged an elevator for that individual. Again, a great short tour of the palace hightlights!

Scam

Beware of this people. They cancelled the tour by e-mail, didn't show up to the meeting place but charged our credit card a fee per person for not attending the tour. They have a scam going on.

Late Cancellation

Viator cancelled our tour that was booked months in advance with less than 48 hours notice. They offered an alternative but we already had a commitment at that time.

Don’t book with Amigo / go city pass - book direct

Highly recommend booking tickets in advance and make sure you book direct . Sadly we booked using our Go city Madrid pass which then uses Amigo Tours. Amigo also take direct bookings so when they overbook guess who they cancel . That’s right the ticket holders that booked using their pass . Grrrrrr
