5.00I think the approach of the tour is excellent, because in addition to being didactic, it is fun, especially because of the curious data that our guide Ruben has provided. He has also been attentive to our doubts demonstrating his knowledge about the Royal Palace.

5.00Despite being in Madrid all my life, I had never been to the Royal Palace so I made the decision to take a guided tour to get to know him better. It was a real success to find Reuben, a magnificent guide as well as a good historian. You can tell he knows what he's talking about. Fully recommended.
Sure we repeat
