We stayed in Madrid the week before Easter and simply couldn't get tickets for the Royal Palace. I came across Headout by chance, though I was a bit skeptical at first since they showed availability for the very next day. I bought the tickets and immediately received a confirmation email with the time and meeting point.At the meeting point, we were met by our guide—a very pleasant and interesting older lady who guided us a few blocks to the palace and then through it. There was no waiting in line; we bypassed the massive crowds and saw everything there is to see with expert guidance. The tour lasts an hour and a half, and I truly recommend it to everyone. We will definitely use Headout again on our next family trip.

I booked after seeing excellent reviews on trip advisor. This company did not disappoint The walking tour before Palace Tour was very interesting and Martini our guide was very knowledgeable pointing out historic areas and landmarks Skipping the line at the Royal Palace was such a bonus as the queues were ridiculously long Once inside Martini again guided us through at the perfect pace to absorb the information and enjoy the beauty of the interior Possibly the most beautiful palace I have ever been in So opulent and so much interesting detail pointed out which would have been missed without a guide Well worth the money Be aware you do not meet outside palace but at a shop approximately 10 mins away

Everything about this experience was smooth from start to finish. The skip-the-line access saved a huge amount of time, especially with the long queues outside the Royal Palace. Entry was quick and well-organized, and the staff were helpful and clear with directions. The palace itself is absolutely stunning — the rooms, details, and history are on another level. What really stood out was how stress-free the whole process felt, allowing us to fully enjoy the visit instead of worrying about logistics. Definitely worth it if you want to make the most of your time in Madrid.

Great tour! We wanted to buy tickets for the self guided tour for the next day but they were not available online. Then we found this tour and it was absolutely worth the price. The guide Elisa was excellent, spoke fluent English, very slowly so that everyone could follow. We entered through the group entrance which skips the long queue. Elisa told us many interesting stories about the royal family. I would say without a guide, visit to royal palace would be underrated. I highly recommend this tour!

The guided tour at the palace was very cool and I learned many new things, like the fact that the original kitchen is actually located 30 minutes away. It was interesting to hear that they now set up temporary kitchens in neighboring rooms for current events to keep things running smoothly. My personal highlights were definitely the cathedral and the entrance area, especially because of the stunning ceiling paintings.

Nous avons visité le Palais Royal de Madrid avec la visite guidée en français, et nous avons été ravis de ce moment passé sur place. Notre guide maîtrisait parfaitement le français, ce qui a rendu la visite encore plus agréable. Elle nous a tout très bien expliqué avec clarté et beaucoup de professionnalisme. Une expérience enrichissante que nous recommandons sans hésitation !

Beatrice was an amazing guide as a former history teacher she was funny, entertaining and most of all extremely knowledgable about everything historical and cultural. She condensed difficult topics and explained them in such a way that even children could understand!

Tour was very informative, interactive. Guide was professional and knowledgeable. Gave us a comprehensive induction at the begging of a tour and showed around the palace with as much information as possible to give within the hour. Recommended.
