Our guide Benny was outstanding!!!! He was so knowledgeable, funny and personable. His passion and love of the history of Spain and the royal family and palace made our tour awesome. He was very funny too .. our whole group had a wonderful tour! Thank you so much Benny! This was an excellent company to book your tours! I will definitely use them for our next visit to Spain!

Oh my gosh what a phenomenal tour. Took us through all the back streets and then some of the main sites, explained everything, answer every question even the ones that had nothing to do with the tour lol, very friendly, and spoke great English. And best of all he was an actor in the movie Money Heist in the first season at the junkyard.

The tour was very well organized. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the topic and gave the audience great details about the Palace. I recommend this guided visit.

Our guide was fantastic showing us around the park. The segways were very easy to use having never been on one before. We really enjoyed the experience.

Really nice photoshoot with Josemi Deorgaz ! The park is the perfect place at this time of the year. I do recommend this activity !
