Gratuities are the only extra. **Best overall:** A 90 minute small-group visit with skip the line entry, told through the monarchy's history rather than a room checklist: 4.9 from 231 reviews at €50 per person. Trade-off: Just 90 minutes inside. (last checked August 27, 2026) ## Overview Inside the Palace you will see the main structure of the Spanish Monarchy through the centuries. Flamboyant clocks, unbelievable decoration, the most subtlest kind of art and, maybe most important, the Spanish History since the building was built (and something about the previous), which makes the tour not just beautiful, but useful when in Madrid. You will know things you will be able to apply to the rest of your journey in Spain. Since we begin to work at places like the Prado, there was something we had clear: our products need to be sustainable so we can do our best. That's why we work just with a maximum of 8 people at a time. We know you already know things about the Royal Palace (3.418 rooms, luxury, etc) but what makes this a special tour is that we really care about you. We have a compromise with you and with our lovely country, so we want you to really enjoy it and go back to your home with a great memory about us and our little, tiny place in the world. ## Key facts - Price: from €50 per person - Duration: 1h 30m - Rating: 4.9/5 from 231 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: The guides you need ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Royal Palace Madrid / 7 people | €50 / person | English | - | | en español! | €50 / person | Spanish | - | | Il palazzo in italiano! | €53 / person | Italian | In italiano: Per i nostri amici dell'Italia! | | Guide of the month's tour | €62 / person | English | Guide of the month's tour: With this premium option, you will have the guide who received best reviews in the last moth. | | The palace + walking tour | €76 / person | English, Spanish, Italian | + a 90 minutes walking tour: The walking tour goes around Barrio de los Austrias (Plaza Mayor, Sol...), one of the oldest in Madrid. | | Private | €110 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Private: Just you, your guide and the Royal Palace. | | Guide of the month's private | €138 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Guide of the month's private: With this premium option, you will have the guide who received best reviews in the last month only for you! | ## What's included - Professional tour guide. - Royal Palace of Madrid Skip the Line Ticket ## Not included - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Royal Palace of Madrid** (1h 30m; admission included) - Our guide will take you in and show around the highlights of the biggest royal residence in Europe: The Royal Palace of Madrid.
