Full description

Embark on a guided 2-hour tour of Madrid's Royal Palace. Admire art pieces by Giordano and Goya while exploring the palace at a peaceful time of day alongside an expert guide with in-depth knowledge about the home to Spanish Royals past and present. 

Start at the Opera Metro Station in Plaza de Isabel II, home to the Teatro Royal, where you will meet your guide. After a picturesque walk through Plaza de Oriente, enjoy skip-the-line privileges before entering the palace. Relish visits to the Throne Room, Banquet Hall, and Private Royal apartments. Be amazed as to how these rooms are brought to life in an engaging and fascinating way by your professional guide.

Marvel at exclusive works of art by Giordano and Goya, as well as historical articles such as historic tapestries, suits of armor, and ornate swords. Take in in the building's 19th-century design and beautiful floral layout, which serves as an excellent backdrop for memorable photos. Depending on the option selected, continue with a guided tour inside Royal Collections Gallery. This museum has the most important collections from the Crown of Spain. You will visit all the rooms where you can enjoy paintings and tapestries of very important painters such as El Bosco, Titian, El Greco, Ribera, Velázquez or Caravaggio.

It’s a big venue with so many tourists but our guide, Alex (?) was attentive, engaging and patient. He gave clear directions for navigating our large group around , from meeting place to departure and all throughout the Palace. The headsets are not that comfortable. They also lose clear connection if separated by 15-20 feet. But it was manageable and the guide was responsive to any needs. We could tell that our guide truly loved this tour and all the elements of its history so we enjoyed it too.

Our tour started seamlessly. We met our guide exactly where instructed. The tour included audio equipment so we could hear our guide, Ishmael, while touring the Palace. I’m traveling with 3 friends and we booked the Palace tour last minute. Ishmael was our tour guide and he had a witty sense of humor while being thorough in sharing the history and insights of the amazingly beautiful palace. The tour took the entire two hours and we were absorbed in the history. The palace has over 3000 rooms and we toured the 20 that are open to the public. After the palace we checked out the armory- which was included with the entry pass - but not part of the tour. Highly recommend the tour.
