Our tour guide, David, was a wealth of knowledge - a true story teller. We ended up having to stand in line for the royal palace tour due to large crowds. David regaled us with history about the cathedral and the royal family while we waited to pass the time. In the Prado, he tied the stories he shared in the royal palace with the paintings we viewed of El Gato and Goya. A great 5 hours.

David was an outstanding guide - friendly, great knowledge and very good English. However, even the skip the lines tours took nearly an hour to get in, due to prior day closures. Without the extra crowds and delays this would have been a 5 star tour.
