9 tours · €35–€299 per person · ★ 4.8
A Royal Palace of Madrid tour solves the two problems the palace throws at visitors, the ticket line and the unlabeled rooms, and we picked all 9 here by hand, each rated 4.5★ or higher. Guided visits with guaranteed skip the line entry start at €34.71 for a two hour format that adds an old town walk; a 90 minute palace-only visit with gardens runs €35 to €50; and combos pair the palace with the Prado from €79, up to private VIP mornings with hotel pickup at €235 to €299.
Two things worth knowing before you book: the palace has no luggage storage at all, and the cheapest combo carries the lowest rating on this page at 4.52, the price explains it. The best reviewed Madrid Royal Palace tours come first below.
