Madrid: Royal Palace Expert Guided Tour with Skip-the-Line

5.Royal Palace Expert Guided Tour with Skip-the-Line

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 6,986 reviews · from $40

Tour Madrid’s Royal Palace with an expert guide, skip the main entrance line, see royal rooms and art, then explore the gardens if open.

“Beni, our tour guide was great. He was funny and light hearted but he conveyed all the necessary information for the tour and a lot of insightful and interesting facts about the palace, its past inhabitants and a bit of gossip as well. The tour itself is very well structured so that it covers a large variety of rooms and displayed items without becoming boring or tedious. It’s about 2 hours long from the start time and it involves a short walk and a security check so the palace tour itself is about 1.5 hours which is just perfect.Read more”

See Toledo’s old quarter, Segovia’s Roman aqueduct, cathedral, and Alcázar on an 11-hour guided day trip from Madrid.

“We were very happy with this tour to Toledo and Segovia. The guide was great telling us interesting facts about the history. we felt we had a good amount of free time in both places. Would say that many of the things in the souvenir shop they stop at on the way to Toledo can be found once you get into the town and in some cases cheaper. Would recommend this tour.”

Tour Madrid’s Royal Palace with a guide, skip the main queue, see Goya and Giodano, royal rooms, the Armory, and gardens.

“great tour. Very well led. We've done a few in the last few weeks and this one was in the top 2: 1) instructions were crystal clear 2) our guide, Lei, was knowledgeable and kept things interesting with historical anecdotes. She has a very clear and pleasant voice and speaks English fluently (which wasn't the case of the other tour guides we've met) 3) last but not least, the equipment provided to ensure we could all hear the guide, even though we weren't all next to her, worked to perfection. This means people with accessibility requirements, or others who, like me, tend to wander away to get the best angle…”

Madrid Panoramic City Bus Tour

11.Madrid Panoramic City Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 3,118 reviews · 1 hour 20 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $33

See Madrid’s royal center, Prado area, Gran Vía, Bernabéu, and modern districts from an open-top bus, with two routes and audio commentary.

“Convenient way to get a view of the salient spots of the city. Yet, It’s a limited view since the route is limited to the central area. The purchase price of the ticket includes 2 separate bus routes: one focused on the "must-to-know" spots and the other is called "historic tour". To me, they seemed very similar. There are no stops of the bus and one is not allowed to request to get off the bus at any point of interest. You get off the bus at the same starting point.”

Toledo Tour & Vineyard Walk with Wine Tasting from Madrid

14.Toledo Tour & Vineyard Walk with Wine Tasting from Madrid

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,546 reviews · 8 hours (approx.) · from $133

Spend a day in Toledo and a historic Castilian winery, with guided sightseeing, three wines, Iberian snacks, and shared transport from Madrid.

“Starting with the better part. The winery experience at the end made up for the rushed Toledo tour. Great explanation of the process. We tasted 3 wines and bought a lovely bottle of red wine at the end. The cathedral in Toledo was just stunning and is a must-see! Make sure you add that to your tour. Maybe this should not be a combo tour since the tour guide seemed to be in a hurry the whole time we were in Toledo. She talked very fast, and translated in both English and Spanish so it did take her twice as long to communicate with us. We almost left a couple…”

“Our guide, Christina, was a historian who did an excellent job explaining the highlights of both sites. This was a very convenient way of getting to each site without a car. We boarded a bus very close to our meeting site at Fun and tickets. The bus was very nice. We had ear pieces which enabled us to hear everything the guide had to say to us. I am very glad that we took this very reasonably priced excursion.”
