Muy buena la visita con un gran guía, Alex, nos hizo el recorrido ameno, con muchos comentarios. Es una visita un poco rápida, pero es entendible ya que, somos muchos los visitantes. No vimos la cocina, que estaría junto al comedor? Es visitable? Translate this opinion into English.

The visit was excellent, with a great guide, Alex, who made the tour enjoyable and provided plenty of insightful commentary. It was a bit of a quick tour, but that's understandable given the number of visitors. We didn't see the kitchen, which would be next to the dining room. Is it open to the public? Opinion translated.

Nous avions réservé la visite pour 15h15, et après 3 changements nous avons été programmé pour 16h. La visite c’est très bien passée, la guide était très agréable, et elle parlait bien français. Nous étions dans les derniers groupes et la fin de la visite a été un peu pressée car les gardiens fermaient derrière nous au fur et à mesure. Sinon c’était très bien. Translate this opinion into English.

We had booked the tour for 3:15 pm, and after three changes, we were scheduled for 4:00 pm. The tour went very well; the guide was very pleasant and spoke good French. We were in the last groups, and the end of the tour felt a bit rushed because the guards were closing up behind us as we went. Otherwise, it was very good. Opinion translated. Show original.

La visita al palacio fue muy educativa. La guía tenía mucho conocimiento sobre el lugar y la historia. La visita dura al rededor de 1.5 o 2 horas. Luego tienes tiempo libre para fotos o visitar los alrededores o los jardines o la catedral de la Almudena. Recomendado. Translate this opinion into English.

Nuestro guía Ander nos realizó una visita maravillosa. Fue capaz de realizar una visita amena pero al mismo tiempo llena de datos històricos. Fuimos con una niña de 8 años que al final se le hacía larga la visita, pero Ander la hizo partícipe de las explicaciones y al final se lo pasó bien y pudimos acabar la visita y aprender cosas. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Ander, gave us a wonderful tour. He was able to make the visit enjoyable but also packed with historical information. We went with an 8-year-old girl, who found the tour too long, but Ander engaged her with the explanations, and in the end, she had a great time, and we were able to finish the tour and learn a lot.

Es muy buena opción para conocer el Palacio Real pues además de la explicación de la guía que en nuestro caso la dio María, evitas las filas para entrar. No es tan barato y quizá el gruoo de 30 personas sea muy grande para que se pueda aprovechar mejor la explicación pero vale ma pena hacer esta visita guiada. Tuvimos suerte y nos tocó cambio de guardia, así que fue una experiencia que le dio un plus a la visita. Translate this opinion into English.

It's a great option for getting to know the Royal Palace because, in addition to the guide's explanations, which in our case were provided by María, you can skip the lines to get in. It's not that cheap, and the group of 30 people might be too large to fully enjoy the explanations, but it's worth the guided tour. We were lucky enough to be able to see the changing of the guard, so it was an experience that added a plus to the visit. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestro guía fue Gonzalo, nos recibio muy puntual y con amabilidad, ingresamos al Palacio Real con fluidez y en todo el recorrido nos ofreció un panorama muy informado sobre la historia del lugar al mismo tiempo que de la historia de España que, en lo personal me abrió panoramas que desconocia y que me motivaron no solo a volver, sino también a leer para saber más y comprender mejor una historia que nos es común. Translate this opinion into English.

Our guide, Gonzalo, greeted us punctually and with kindness. We entered the Royal Palace smoothly. Throughout the tour, he offered us a very informative overview of the history of the place, as well as the history of Spain. This, personally, opened up new perspectives I hadn't known about and motivated me not only to return, but also to read more to learn more and better understand a history that we all share.

Nuestra guia, Alba, una maravilla. Hizo el recorrido muy ameno y se nota que sabe de lo que habla. Pese a que la lluvia de fechas y nombres a veces es abrumadora cuando uno va a estas cosas, nos dio la información necesaria, concisa y entretenida para hacer la visita mucho más interesante y curiosa que si vas por tu cuenta, que al final es de lo que se trata. Sin duda, merece la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

Aba. Hace años estuve aquí e hice visita guiada con "Guía turística de Patrimonio Nacional" y he de decir que no hay nada que envidiar. Me ha parecido absolutamente extraordinaria la exposición, conocimientos, forma de presentación, de humor y la forma en que explica la historia y cómo generó un estado de "interés constante en nosotros" durante toda la exposición.Sinceramente, creo que se merece un aumento de sueldo, gratificación o como quiera que sea. Enhorabuena, ¡repetiré siempre CIVITATIS! Translate this opinion into English.

Aba. I was here years ago and took a guided tour with a "National Heritage Tour Guide," and I have to say it's second to none. I found the exhibition, knowledge, presentation, humor, and the way it explained the history absolutely extraordinary, as well as how it generated a state of "constant interest in us" throughout the exhibition. Honestly, I think it deserves a raise, a bonus, or whatever. Congratulations! I'll come back to CIVITATIS again and again! Opinion translated. Show original.
