Itinerary
Explore a piece of Spain's regal heritage with a 2-hour guided tour of the Royal Palace of Madrid, also known as the Palace of Oriente. This magnificent structure, covering 135,000 m² and boasting 4,318 rooms, was built on the ruins of the Royal Alcázar of Madrid after it was destroyed by fire in 1734. Our tour begins at the grand entrance, where you'll learn about the palace's history and its construction, which commenced on April 6, 1738, under the direction of architect Giovanni Battista Sacchetti. Step into the opulent halls used for gala events, official receptions, and state ceremonies. While the King of Spain's official residence, the Royal Family now resides in the more modest Zarzuela Palace, making the Royal Palace primarily a venue for state functions. Marvel at the exquisite Throne Room, the majestic Hall of Mirrors, and the regal Banquet Hall, each room showcasing the grandeur and intricate details of Spanish monarchy.

Absolutely do not take this tour with this company! Expensive and not what was described. The tour started an hour later than scheduled so we waited around for the extra hour..to begin. (We called Viator and customer service did try and assist. They called the tour company. Nobody at the tour company would answer the phone calls) New meeting time and they still could not stay on schedule. 9 people were not there so we waited another 15 minutes. (Of course they weren’t there! They came an hour earlier!!!). We eventually make it to the Royal Palace. Tour guide was knowledgeable…however we started late and still managed to finish 25 minutes early. Our family travels often and have relied on Viator for several tours..they have always come through. This is the first time that we feel we absolutely did not get our money’s worth. We do not recommend this tour.
