Evite as filas no Palácio Real de Madri com degustação de tapas e no Parque do Retiro

All three places included on this tour were fantastic and “authentic”. All tour guides were knowledgeable and very friendly. All were helpful in giving succinct and good directions to the next location. Be aware that we had to arrive at Retiro Park (gorgeous!), then take the metro by ourselves to the palace, then walk to the restaurant for tapas. We are pretty seasoned travelers, so we’re not deterred that we had to maneuver parts of the tour ourselves.

This tour is the collection of two or maybe three activities completly unrelated. Each one has its own guide, its own set of clients and its own operator, leaving the client to navigate, on its own, from one activity to the next one. At the end of a nice visit to the Retiro Park, the guide left us to go on our own to the start point of the next activity. Not knowing much about downtown Madrid we took a taxi that took forever to reach the Isabel II explanade, a very large expanse and we couldn't locate the next guide in time. The messages from the second operator where followe by a large privacy legalese text on privacy which made dificult to read. As I mentioned before missed the staart of the tour and we had to do the visit on out own, which by the way was very easy to do. Of course the tour operator refused to refund th unused part. My advice is that unless you know how to navigate on your own downtown Madrid, avoid this tour like the plague!

Ni prestaron el servicii y NO DEVOLVIERON EL DINERO. UNA ESTAFA. NO DESPERDICIEN SU DINERO. They did not provide the service and did not return the money. A TOTAL SCAM. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY

We have nothing negative to say about the guide. He did his best, but it was impossible. The group was too big! The palace too crowded! And the earpieces didn’t work well enough. There were 4 in our group, 3 got so frustrated they left. I stayed hoping ti get something out of it, but ended up very frustrated and disappointed. Unanimously it was our worst tour while in Madrid.

Madrid is a stunning city that is definitely worth visiting. If you're planning to take a tour, I would recommend booking each location separately or exploring on your own, as this is how I felt during my own tour. We had a tour guide for El Retiro Park and the Royal Palace, but we had to navigate between tours ourselves with very little time left for the tapas tasting. When we arrived at the restaurant, it seemed like they had no idea why we were there. We finally showed them our tickets, but the waiter was uninterested, to say the least, and the tapas were not very impressive - just some fried potatoes and shrimp. Nothing really stood out.

I had a wonderful time on the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The palace itself is stunning and definitely worth the visit.

Retiro Park: The guide didn’t add much to this visit so I recommend you do this on your own and also see inside some of the buildings which the guide didn’t take us to Royal Palace: The tour was good but our group was too big and it took 40 minutes just to get inside the palace and for everyone to get their audio. So be prepared for that. Tapas: you do this on your own. The guide doesn’t go with you. They didn’t speak any English and at first turned us away until we showed our tickets. After that. We enjoyed the tapas.

Great experience with our guide Roccio. She was funny and knowledgeable about the Alcazar and we learned a good amount history without getting bored!

Such a nice tour! Had a little break between the park and the palace. Palace was worth seeing. The retiro park was very informational, had to go back to explore the rest of it since it was only 1hr.

Retiro park is an oasis! Sergio our guide was very knowledgeable. Fun tour of the park. The Royal Palace is amazing. Too much wealth for kings and Queens. David our guide was very good. The Tapas were very little food. I do not recommend it. I’m sorry I paid for it.
