Very difficult to find starting point, frustrating
1Not The trout described on TripAdvisor
The cancellation of the Royal Palace tour was due to royal family having an impromptu stay day of tour. We accepted the Prado Museum tour at a different time but same day a tour booked. The guide was late to meeting place by 25 minutes and had to go purchase our group of 11 our tickets. She was friendly but talked very fast. However she began by saying she could get the tour done in 45 minutes rather the scheduled 1 1/2 hour. We stopped again for bathroom break before starting. Then a long interrogation. The first room of paintings but her microphone faded off and on. Then my hearing apparatus stopped working. We decided that the tour was not going well and left to do our own tour.

5Valuable Guided Prado & Palace Tour - So Worth It
An excellent guided tour!!! We were treated to many stories behind a range of beautiful paintings at The Prado. The walk over to the Royal Palace was lovely with a short stop for gelato and rest. I could not imagine visiting either cultural sight without the benefit of a guided explanation of what I was seeing. The pacing was brisk but bearable. I’d recommend this tour to anyone.

We’re so glad we had Lola as our tour guide! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. We learned so much about Madrid and its history, and she made the entire experience enjoyable and memorable. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! 🇪🇸❤️
