Join a 2-hour guided tour of Madrid's Royal Palace. Admire the works of art by Giordano and Goya as you explore the palace at a leisurely time during the day with an expert guide who has an in-depth knowledge of the home of Spanish royalty.

Meet your guide at the Ópera metro stop located at Plaza de Isabel II in front of the Teatro Real. After a stroll through the picturesque Plaza de Oriente, take advantage of skip-the-line access to the palace.

Enjoy visits to the Throne Room, the Gala Dining Room and the private royal apartments. The rooms will come alive with the lively and fascinating explanations of your professional guide.

After the guided tour you can stroll through the Royal Gardens and visit other parts of the palace on your own, such as the Royal Armory and the Royal Apothecary.

If you have selected the tapas tasting option, you can go on your own to Casa Ciriaco Restaurant at Calle Mayor 84, where you will be given an appetizer of typical Spanish tapas.
