Hoteller i nærheden af Madrid's Royal Palace & Prado Museum

Excellent walking tour of the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace. We were lucky to have a very experienced guide and discover a side of Madrid that isn't accessible to all tourists. Thank you.

Sara was amazing! We had a fabulous day visiting the museum and palace. She took her time and answered our questions. The walk between both establishments she pointed highlighted parts of the city and some businesses to potentially visit on our own later. Highly recommend the private tour with her.

Our group of 4 (two couples) hired a private guide for this walking tour. David tried to give us a good experience, but there were some logistical and organizational issues that posed a challenge. It was to be a 5 hour walking tour and we made clear that we did not have extra time because of a paella cooking class scheduled that same day. We needed to start and end on time. We got a note the night before our tour asking us to allow a start time of 30-40 minutes later. There did not seem to be an option, so we did that but as a result, our walking tour was squeezed and needed some revised planning to cover everything and finish on time. David is not a brisk walker. He saunters and strolls. I was getting anxious about how long it was taking to get from our hotel to the palace. Perhaps we should have been told to meet somewhere else (rathe than our hotel given the loss of time) so our guided time to the two points of interest would be used better - and not just strolling. The palace has certain rooms under construction and when we arrived, we wasted more time discovering that our private guide could not enter. Our small group of 4 had to be consolidates with a larger group and a different guide. She was an excellent guide, by the way. She made the palace stories and history interesting and fun but when we finished the palace, we only had 1.5 hours remaining (of our 5 hour tour) to go to the Prado! Not nearly enough time. David met us after the palace tour and sauntered leisurely for a while when I finally told him that we either needed to get in a taxi or walk much faster if we wanted to have any time at the Prado. Ours was a BRIEF Prado experience. Very disappointing. The museum was busy and crowded in the afternoon. We missed our early, quiet time entry because of the delayed start and we only saw a few highlights before having to leave. This tour needs to have excellent time management and a guide who is sensitive to that - in order to make it work. 5 hours is not very much time to cover 2 important sites on foot.

Excellent tour. Jesus is very well prepared to answer all your doubts and makes the tour a very pleasant experience. I definitely recommend private tours, because you can understand much better everything you are walking and observing. Thank you so much!

David was promptly at our hotel at 9am even though we booked this the day before in the late afternoon. He was very knowledgeable of the city, of history and dates, and answered every question we had with insight. We enjoyed the morning and afternoon with him and glad we did this private tour with him! Lots of walking so put your walking shoes on.

Walking tour in Madrid was absolutely amazing! It was 5,5 hours tour. We visited lots of interesting sites, included Royal Palace, the Cathedral, Del Prado Museum. The most reason that we had a great experience was our guide, Jesus. Very knowledgable, sufficient, friendly young man made our day delightful and memorable. My husband and I truly appreciate it!

educational and informative tour. Luis was a wellhead of information and knowledge, particularly as to history and relevant culture during the time periods that are displayed on the tour. Made for an enlightening day… Couldn’t imagine coming to Madrid and not going on this tour. Thx again Luis… wonderful experience!

Arentxa was really excellent, she has great knowledge about the artworks and explained in detail with her own interpretation. She is always helpful and willing to do extra for us. Everyone loves her. Highly recommend!

Our private tour to El Prado museum and Palacio real with Arantxa was amazing. Her knowledge is of all the arts masterpiece on display is incomparable. El Palacio real was as good as el Prado. She explains everything with clear details and abundant knowledge. Arantxa is the best tour guide that we have ever had.
