Palace tour with Beatrix - Beatrix gave us a fantastic tour of the palace. A former teacher, she must have been every student’s favorite! We enjoyed our time in the palace thoroughly, learned a lot, and we would recommend Beatrix and this tour highly.

Fabulous Palace, great tour!! - The palace is amazing and Andrea was a fabulous guide. Full of historical insights, Andrea, a Madrid local who had studied history in the US and spoke excellent English, gave very engaging and interesting tour. Thank you. Well worth getting a guided tour.

Best option to visit the Royal Palace! - First, the rating would have been all 5 stars had we had a better tour guide. Positives: This tour bypasses the waiting lines which become longer by minute! It saves time and delivers a lot of good information within a reasonable amount of time. Not so positive (Tour guide feedback only) Our tour guide was Mr. Herman and many people in our group felt that we were not that lucky by having him. Why? First, his Spanish accent and mixing in a lot of different Spanish words while speaking English made him very difficult to understand. Next, his monotonous sound of voice made it so discouraging for most of us to follow. Lastly, Mr. Herman has shown a lot of his personal favors and dislikes which unfortunately resulted in brushing over and even skipping some of the parts of the Royal Palace! So, our final review rating is still all 5 stars for this specific guided tour but perhaps using a better quality tour guide would be our recommendation as well.

Unfortunate issues - Although the palace was amazing, we unfortunately were on a tour that had a lot of technical issues with the sound system. Our tour guide must have had to stop to address the issues at least 10 times. It was difficult hearing him and the sound kept cutting out. Often a buzzing sound. also, we were often two rooms back from where he was talking and explaining what was going on in the room he was in because the group had such a long line. We did not make it to the other room in time to see what he was talking about.
