I highly recommend this local tour! Due to unexpected circumstances during my trip, I had to reschedule my tour date twice. The travel agency was incredibly understanding, flexible, and helpful throughout the entire process, making the changes seamless and stress-free. Furthermore, our tour guide, Mariana, was absolutely amazing. She was highly professional, proactive, and full of enthusiasm. Mariana gave us detailed explanations of every spot and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. Thank you so much to the team and Mariana for the top-notch service and an unforgettable tour!
Mariana was great! Very informative and so many photo ops!!
The guide knows a lot of the palace and explained very well all the rooms
Gigi was really good for her first time and super friendly
Gigi did a great job for her first day, managed guests of multiple languages, funny, and the palace was BEAUTIFUL.
Very fun and enjoyable experience. Learned a lot while also being entertained
Susanna was amazing — insightful, engaging, kept things moving at a nice yet intentional pace.
We highly recommend this company for several reasons: the booking and communication until the day of the tour were perfect and to the point. They answer all questions for you ahead of time. At Julia Travel office, we were warmly received by our guide Mariana, whose expertise in the history of Spain and Royal Palace are self evident. Mariana’s style of information delivery is also super informative. She makes the tour more interesting by telling us to pay attention to certain statues or paintings and later connect the dots for us. You will thoroughly enjoy the tour especially if Mariana is your guide.
Mariana did very well, explained everything well, and was very informative. And as the Spaniards say, everything was very BRUTAL!
We had Mariana as our tour guide and she was fabulous. Very knowledgeable and kind. Spoke great English. Would recommend this tour and requesting her as the guide!
