Don’t miss this unforgettable tour!

Jose Javier (JJ) was knowledgeable and such an engaging storyteller that my 9 year old daughter didn’t want to leave the Royal Palace. Thanks for an unforgettable morning.

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.
