Unfortunately our guide was interrupted part way through our visit to be advised she couldn't complete the tour for us. We were able to explore the place at our own pace but we were missing additional facts she would have told us. We'd started the tour with the guide, she was friendly, funny, informative & got everybody arranged with headsets. We were given a partial refund, but the tour without a guide wasn't what we wanted otherwise we would have just booked the palace entry without a guide. It didn't appear to be the fault of our guide. The warden from the palace was rude & quite aggressive. Was a shame we lost our guide in these circumstances.

Terrible. Guide spoke too fast even after requests to slow down, was disorganized, lost group twice. Guide held up group of 28 people for 2 late comers. Viator denied my refund request. I will not be doing this company again.

Touring the largest royal palace in Europe is a must do. Beautifully designed and decorated building that one cannot miss. Our tour guide was thorough and so educational, which is important when one has little reference about Spanish royal history.

I bought the last ticket available to Madrid Royal palace through Viator. I was glad that I got a chance to visit. I paid 32 euros. Don’t know if I overpaid or not 😃😃
