Unforgettable experience

Nora_A, Mar 2025

Guided visit to Palacio Real was amazing. Tour guide Isabel Herrero Blanco, with her entertaining way to share her passion for the history of this wonderful place was contagious. She has a unique way to make history interesting and just to see all the treasures hidden between the palace walls that have been kept for so many centuries with her narrating the wonders of their history made this visit an unforgettable one. Thank you Isabel!!! This has definitely been a highlight on our first Madrid visit!

Amazing Tour!!

Robert_B, Jan 2025

Great tour with a great guide (Sean). The palace is magnificent and it is amazing to see the gorgeous detail and finishings in every room. Sean gave us an excellent tour and taught us so much history about the Spanish monarchy. Great afternoon!

David was our very knowledgeable guide today. He was extremely informative and very kind with giving us time to take pictures and at the same time gave us loads of really interesting facts about the palace and its history. Highly recommend David as a tour guide.

Palace Comes To Life

Edwina_C, Nov 2022

We never knew the extent of the palace. Our guide was excellent and brought everything to life. Unlike many other European Palaces this one is still being used.
