What to say... Firstly Andrea was amazing, she showed me the Retiro park its history and statures and what an amazing way to start the day then to walk through this beautiful nature and just relax! Thank you Andrea, you are amazing! And after that Benito took Us to the Royal palace and did an amazing job also! Love it! Highly recommend!!

If you love to know more about the history then this is the tour for you. The guide was really friendly and funny throwing jokes in between so the tour wasn’t so boring with o let history. I took the option to get a tour of the Retiro Park and the I recommend it if you want to know again about the history. The guid had a nice way of connecting the history between rooms of the plane as well as the park.

The visit to the palace was very good. Our guide was knowledgeable and spoke good English (not to be taken for granted in Madrid). The only issue is that the Retiro park is quite far from the palace and the connection between the two was supposed to be on foot. We were blessed with beautiful weather, so for us the walk was very pleasant -- but I cannot imagine what would happen if it would be raining... It would be good to warn people on the tour description... Finally: we had booked the tapas upgrade. It turned out that we were supposed to have it between the palace visit and the park visit! So this would imply that the others (guide and one more tour participant) would have to wait for us while we would be eating. We asked that this be rescheduled so we would go to the tapas bar after the park visit. The guide arranged this. But, again, please warn people about this aspect of the tour!
