There is so much to see. The tour moves fast, I recommend making another loop through the palace after the tour is complete to spend more time.

The guide had a thick accent and was difficult to understand. Headset at the palace malfunctioned at times. Guide did not tell many stories about royal family instead focused on “why this room is important.” Also optional tapas was not organized at all. Restaurant originally refused to serve us as tour company never sent them notice or payment. Took 20 min to sort that out with tour company. Restaurant for tapas was amazing. The staff gave us a special tour of the lower dinning area where royal family cones twice yearly. Awesome stories. Loved casa Ciriaco restaurant!
