Highly recommended visit to the Royal Palace - I had booked a guided tour with a small group and in the end only I was "the group". So I was able to enjoy a wonderful visit with Maria, the guide, a girl charm and a great professional. Highly recommended activity!!

Maria was an excellent... - Maria was an excellent guide. Good communication before meeting at the designated spot. Met us promptly and began the tour on time. Big bonus is skipping the queue to enter the palace. The line wrapped around the building. Maria was very informative and provided a great look into the history of the royal family and residence. Her expertise made the tour both educational and genuinely enjoyable.

Amazing guided tour of Royal Palace - Benito was a truly amazing guide! He brought the story of the Royal Palace to life for us. And he was entertaining for the adults and kids (9yo and 7yo) in our family. What a special experience, so glad we did it!

Cristiano shared her expansive knowledge to help us enjoy the palace! - Cristiano shared her unparalleled knowledge of the palace to help deepen the experience of the visit. The palace is a real treasure. The rooms have more decoration and other items than the majority of castles and palaces and Cristiano knew such amazing details!
