Full description
Enjoy a guided 2-hour tour of Madrid's Royal Palace, home to Spanish Royals past and present. Explore the palace at a peaceful time of day with early access to the popular tourist attraction, while taking in pieces by Velázquez and Goya.

Start off with a picturesque walk from Opera Metro in Plaza de Isabel II, home to the Teatro Royal. After a trip 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 where your professional tour guide will provide you with anecdotes.

Marvel at exclusive works of art by Velázquez and Goya, as well as historical articles such as historic tapestries, suits of armor and ornate swords. 

The 19th-century design and beautiful floral layout will serve as an excellent backdrop for memorable photos.

Our tour guide Lydia did a great job of describing the history of the palace and provided detailed anecdotes about the monarchs who lived in it. The tour lasted a good amount of time and was a lot of fun. We did the early morning tour, which allowed us to see the palace without a lot of people being there.

The Skip the Line tour was awesome. We gained access to the palace before all others. Our small group was given access to areas of the palace not seen by the normal tourist crowds. Beny, our guide, was extremely informative and entertaining. He made the experience very special for us. We would highly recommend this tour to others.
