Guidekin's take

A three hour private VIP program: the Royal Palace with preferential tickets and an official guide, a walk through old Madrid and a car loop past the eighteenth century UNESCO axis.

At €235 per person it is built for seeing the essentials in one focused morning.

In our comparison: #10 of 20 in Royal Palace, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
