Very good way of seeing Madrid

Published on May, 2024

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

Published on Oct, 2022

Our guide was great about telling the history of Madrid's fantastic architecture and about the rooms and features of the Royal Palace.

Five hour tour of Central Madrid (walking], bus tour and royal palace

Published on Aug, 2022

The tour , equally in Spanish and English, was about five hours long including walking around the central area, panoramic bus tour and royal palace visit. everything was spot on and the tour guide, Javier, was very knowledgable and also had a good sense of humour. Highly recommended to get a reasonable feel of the touristic parts of Madrid.

Amazing Place, but A Difficult Tour

Published on Jul, 2019

Our visit to the Palace was amazing. The Palace is a very interesting and beautiful. Our tour guide was not very good. She was a nice person, but she wasn't good at explaining the Palace in either English or Spanish.

Grt tour, well organised

Published on Sep, 2018
