Super Tour! Wow! - Very insightful and amazing to see. The tour moved very quickly because of the number of people waiting in line for tickets and the other tours going on st the same time. Better to do the tour and then revisit all 20 rooms to take any particular pictures you may want. So much to absorb and see! Tour guide Lydia (?) Was very good and able to answer our questions.

Wonderful stay. Great location. - Even though the hotel is under renovation, everything was perfect. Special thanks to Elena at the front desk for her warm welcome and wonderful restaurant suggestion. We also ate at the hotel and the food and service were excellent. Highly recommend.

Wonderful way to tour the Madrid Royal Palace - The palace tour was very good. It was easy to find the tour guide by the Metro station meeting point because he was holding up a piece of paper with the company name. Carlos was both funny and educating about the palace and its occupants. Going in as a group and having headsets to listen to the live explanations was key to a better tour. There was enough time to get photos along the way and not feel too rushed.

Do no book this trip - Although we arrived at the meeting place well in advance of the time specified, they said we arrived late. I messaged them 6 minutes past the meeting time when we had not found the group and they told us to go to the palace on Calle Belen. We couldn’t find Calle Belen on the map, so we went to the place with lots of people. It turned out to be the right spot. They then said that we couldn’t enter and they would not refund our money. I’ve used Viator many times and in many cities in the US, Europe, Latinamerica, and Asia and I have never had this experience before. The guides are usually easy to identify and wearing ID. We approached every group of people near the metro exits where we were supposed to wait and none of them was the guide. It was just starting to rain and by the time we were waiting outside the palace, it was raining. I recommend not booking with this company. We booked several other tours with a company called Fun & Tickets and had no problems at all. We were very disappointed that we won’t get to see the Palace and they took our money.
