It was ok. Our guide was patient and knowledgeable. A person in our party needed a wheelchair and she went out of her way to accommodate. The tour itself seemed a little disorganized but it could probably had to do with how crowded both places were.

Our tour guide Angel was amazing and kept us entertained and engaged. Very happy with his performance and knowledge. The sights of the royal palace were amazing and the museum is very interesting. Thank you.

This tour works out great value however it involves six hours on your feet with very few places to stop and sit. Laura gave an informative tour at the Palace and then explained that the walk to The Prado would take an hour. Several of the group including us decided to have lunch and take a cab to the museum and meet the group at the Goya statue when they arrived. This worked better for us as the Prado was also well with seeing but having started our tour at 9-45 by 12-00 we were ready for a little sit down. Both museums are filled with the most wonderful treasures and are definitely worth seeing The fact that this tour avoids the queues is a massive bonus and the guides are knowledgeable and speak to you via a headset. They will also take questions and know most of the answers. Laura has a degree in Art History so really knows her stuff. Wear comfy shoes and enjoy the tour

Royal palace and Prodo Museum are ok. I have seen much more impressive palaces and museums in other countries. The guide was good. I think she needs to smile more. Since I did not want to get lost, I followed the guide right behind during the tour. I thought she was irritated by it.
