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

The guide was excellent: very knowledgeable and friendly. The booking process was smooth, no hiccups We only wish there was a place with a defined logo/ flag which could have made the waiting less anxious - knowing we were at the right place.
