Traveler reviews
Not Viator Standard
I have used Viator in years past and have recommended them to countless people, but this experience fell short. What should have been a small group landed up being a group of 26 that ultimately ran 45 mins late. The tour guide (Nacho) would have probably been fantastic but the poor guy spent more time keeping track of the group than sharing information. He managed the best he could and we did have a decent time hence my rating of 3 stars, but it’s not what we signed up for.
Excellent experience
Knowledgeable and very helpful guide, always attentive to needs, created a truly pleasant atmosphere
Tour to the Riyal Palace of Madrid
The tour and tour guide to the Royal Palace of Madrid were wonderful. The check in was a bit tedious since we thought it was supposed to be skip the line tour. The group was a bit large and crowded. Otherwise, everything was wonderful!!
Well worth having a guided tour
Jesus was fantastic. Personable, informative, attentive. Everything a tour guild should be. So glad I spent the time & money on this. Would highly recommend this tour.
Good not fabulous.
It gets you a little more ahead of personal walk-ins and more knowledge but still crowded. The guide was friendly but had to herd group while touring and then protecting the group from other tours. About 25% of the security staff were irritable without cause. You could even see other staff cringing at their attitude. Its a palace... Its a tour...Its not private.
