Sabina
I booked a guided tour of the Palace via Headout. Excellent organisation even though the group was not small, the guide was very knowledgeable and at times cracking cool jokes, which made the tour informative and engaging. The Palace is, of course, impressive.

This was a very nice tour and having a small group (8) was a real asset. Our guide David was very knowledgeable and shared many fun facts that made our visit very interesting. I recommend this visit if this is your first trip to Madrid.
Roger
Excellent tour and the guide was probably the best we have had so far. We booked the Royal Palace in Spain. If you do book with them and I recommend you do, ensure that follow instructions to the meeting point. We didn't and waited at the Palace rather than thier shop. Though we were late by 10 minutes l, it was no problem we were ushered to the rest of the group and joined without issue. Highly recommended.

Laura, Eli, Marta and Marta’s male colleague are amazing Tour guides 🫶 ❤️ Laura took us around in Segovia and Eli took care of us in Avila, it was amazing time with both of them. I highly recommend the tour with these guides. They won’t make you feel indifferent and they are very knowledgable. Please don’t hesitate to ask them to click photos as they are very nice. We booked Segovia and Avila - 9 hour trip and it was worth every penny we paid. The Bus was Air conditioned and Clean along with a great driver. The bus went through some of the most amazing views from Madrid to outer city. I am very happy to have booked it with them. Thank you guys 👍

Excellent day trip to Avila & Segovia! Had the pleasure of having Carlos as our Spanish speaking guide. He was friendly, extremely informative, well spoken and easy to follow. The tour was well paced with a little bit of free time in each city. Rafa was also a great representative and speaks English very well. All in all, my husband and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously.
