Overview

Join a 2-hour guided tour of Madrid's Royal Palace. Admire the works of art by Giordano and Goya as you explore the palace at a leisurely time during the day with an expert guide who has an in-depth knowledge of the home of Spanish royalty.
Meet your guide at the Ópera metro stop located at Plaza de Isabel II in front of the Teatro Real. After a stroll through the picturesque Plaza de Oriente, take advantage of skip-the-line access to the palace.

Enjoy visits to the Throne Room, the Gala Dining Room and the private royal apartments. The rooms will come alive with the lively and fascinating explanations of your professional guide.

If you have selected the tapas tasting option, you can go on your own to "Mercado Jamón Ibérico" Restaurant at Calle Mayor 80, where you will be given a Iberian Products tasting: ham, pork loin, salchichón sausage, chorizo sausage and Manchego cheese, with a drink, bread, and olive oil.

Top10Adventures® wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Top10Adventures® over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
