Booking on Headout is very easy and fulfills its promise (skip-the-line access). A very important attraction for learning how the Royal Palace works and how Spanish history unfolds.

The skip the line tickets made it so easy. The queue was probably 100 meters and we just walked straight in. The palace is a spectacular place to visit, with interesting stuff for everybody. Old masters hang on the walls. With a music room full of Stratovarius instruments. The audio tour is great to listen to and watch (and keep to show others)

To say visiting the Royal Palace of Spain is an extraordinary thing, especially when accompanied by a prepared patient and clear person. Added value to the experience was your staff, whom we waited in front of the palace instead of going to their headquarters. Arriving at the venue late, one of the staff accompanied us to the group that had already left, crossing before the entrance to the palace. Bravo
