5.00We walked into the Royal Palace of Madrid not knowing anything about the history, and we walked out almost history majors lol! The tour was extremely informative, but not in a boring, school class kind of way- no, it was full of fun facts. Mainly because our tour guide, Nico, was amazing! He made the experience interesting, he had a great sense of humor, he used visual aids, he had a vast knowledge of things beyond the royal palace, and he engaged our top interests, asking us at the beginning of the tour what we search/value the most: history, interior design, architecture, mythology, etc. He was also very accommodating-- we arrived at the venue 15 minutes late due to issues w/transportation, but Nico was extremely patient & was able to adjust the tour time. I hope the next time someone books this tour, they request specifically for Nico as their guide! As for the Royal Palace-- hands down my favorite palace in all of Europe (not to mention it is the biggest!).
Highly recommend Nico

5.00Nico was a fabulous tour guide. He provided interesting historical facts. He had a vast knowledge of the sculptures, silks on the walls to the frescoes throughout the Palace. He included some interesting visuals from his iPad that added to the tour. We really enjoyed the tour.
