Great knowledge - Even though we could not go to the royal palace because it closed due to the King was in the palace met new ambassadors from different countries. David compensate it with going to the royal collection museum which was just under the cathedral. He explained important details about the royal family from the past to the current king. As well as when we visited the Prado museum he explained the important collection at the Prado museum. It was very satisfying tour.

Informational, fast paced, good amount of walking. - David was a great guide, I would recommend for people who want to hit the highlights of the museum but not spend all day there. Very informational but was quite a bit of walking. Unfortunately the Palace was closed due to the king coming for ambassadors, so that was a little disappointing but David still made it enjoyable and we got to go to the royal museum instead.

“Walk” was a very good tour. - Irene was an excellent guide. Personable and knowledgeable. Her English is excellent. It was disappointing to not be able to take any pictures in the Prado. The Royal Palace was gorgeous and, thankfully, we could take pictures there. Both places were very crowded, but not as much as during summer.

Recommend Madrid combo tour - We enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend. Our guide, Irene, was wonderful! Her English was great, she was very knowledgeable of Spain history, artwork, artists, and architecture. She was engaging and told interesting stories. She also was cognizant of peoples’ needs (bathroom breaks, pace, etc.)
