Great Small Group Tour

We loved that Beatriz was so knowledgeable about the history. She was very kind and receptive to everyone's questions and needs. The short 10 minutes in the biblioteca was a disappointment as the description said you would be there for 20 minutes. I do not hold this against Beatriz as she had to follow guidelines.

More than a tour.

10 out of 10!!! Our guide Neil was expert from start to finish. He guided us through multiple areas, explained in great detail the history and importance of paintings, tile, rooms and much much more. Beyond my expectation. Neil also made contact 30 minutes prior to our tour to confirm details. Top notch and worth every penny.
