Review of Madrid’s Old City walking tour, covering the Royal Palace, medieval lanes, Plaza Mayor, guide quality, value, and practical tips.
“This tour focuses on visiting the Palace Real -- exactly what we were looking for, but not necessarily obvious from its title. While our guide discussed sites along the way, from our initial meeting place to the Palace, the bulk of our time as expected and desired was spent visiting 23 rooms of the palace. The length and pace was perfect and the level of cultural and historical detail he provided was stellar. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anybody interested in the Palace itself. For a walking tour of broader Madrid, there are plenty of options from which to choose.”
