Traveler reviews
Unprofessional experience
The palace was closed and we were still booked for the experience. There was no communication to us regarding this and turned out to be an unprofessional and bad experience when we reported at the time allotted to us.
The sightseeing portion...
The sightseeing portion was fantastic! Lots of great info and knowledge. Some walking some air conditioned bus- great balance. The Royal Palace was way too crowded and the tour guide just rushed us through. Would rather have seen it without a group.
Fantastic way to get to know Madrid in one morning
Fantastic excursion through the center of Madrid on foot, then to know the highlights by bus and finish with the visit to the Royal Palace. Good organization and good guides
Very good way of seeing Madrid
My husband and I are very happy about the tour! Our guide Miguel is really friendly, nice, and knowledge about all the history and he is quite humorous too. The tour consists of 3 parts: about 1 hour of walking around the central area of the old city, and about 1 hour on a bus (passing by a few more districts), and then about 1 hour guided tour in the Royal Palace of Madrid. It is a good way of seeing all the historical landmark of the city and a quick way of understanding their history.
Fantastic Tour
Our guide was great about telling the history of Madrid's fantastic architecture and about the rooms and features of the Royal Palace.
