They stole our money!! Do not trust your hidays
Amigo Tours stole our money in Madrid, big time. I can prove that I have the bookings and you ‘Amigo Tours’, have cancelled a day before the event without reason.. Very dishonest and no money back.. Worst agency ever, would never trust my holidays to this rubbish company Me robaro , cancellation mi ticket y luego tomaron dinero De mi tarjeta. Los voy a denunciar, se aprobecharon Que estabamos en Australia para robarnos

Don’t miss this unforgettable tour!
Jose Javier (JJ) was knowledgeable and such an engaging storyteller that my 9 year old daughter didn’t want to leave the Royal Palace. Thanks for an unforgettable morning.

Quick palace tour
Our tour guide Clara was extremely knowledgeable regarding the palace. She provided the exact tour we were seeking (not too long) but also informative. We had one person that had difficulties walking up stairs. She arranged an elevator for that individual. Again, a great short tour of the palace hightlights!

Scam
Beware of this people. They cancelled the tour by e-mail, didn't show up to the meeting place but charged our credit card a fee per person for not attending the tour. They have a scam going on.
Response from the operator: Dear 900olgaluciaf, Thank you so much for your feedback, we're going to check this situation. We understand and regret any inconvenience caused by booking logistics. Best regards from AMIGO TOURS. -Judy.

Response from the operator: Dear Y909MWeg, We’re happy to know the tour gave you a deeper understanding of Spain’s monarchy and art—it sounds like it was a memorable experience! Until next time, The Amigo Tours Team, Jenny

Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket cost?
+
Prices start at €40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.
Is Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 51 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 28 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket?
+
Around 10 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Madrid?
+
On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Madrid?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Madrid?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket?
+
Included: Private guide. Not included: Pick up and drop off; Transportation; and Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Madrid Royal Palace Private Tour with Skip-the-line Ticket?
+

+
