Luxurious Palace with original furnishings. Overwhelming

Guide was knowledgeable and was well informed about the Palace. The Palace itself is magnificent. Glad I booked the tour. Appreciated the fact that the tour allowed us to meet the guide at the Palace rather than their office. Allowed us to finish a tour that was rescheduled at the last minute.

Last minute booking worth the extra money!

We were not able to buy next day tickets because they were sold out with the palace directly, so our only option was to book the small group tickets with “Fun & Tickets”. It was worth the extra we payed because our guide Nacho was a wealth of information that we wouldn’t have gotten alone. Thank you Nacho!

Madrid Royal Palace tour review

The tour guide explained very seriously, and through the explanation, I gained a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Royal Palace of Madrid.

Not Viator Standard

I have used Viator in years past and have recommended them to countless people, but this experience fell short. What should have been a small group landed up being a group of 26 that ultimately ran 45 mins late. The tour guide (Nacho) would have probably been fantastic but the poor guy spent more time keeping track of the group than sharing information. He managed the best he could and we did have a decent time hence my rating of 3 stars, but it’s not what we signed up for.
