Madrid's Royal Palace & Prado Museum Private Walking Tour

Musts sees in Madrid

We were given an in depth tour of the Prado Museum, the Palace and walking tour of Madrid. Our guide, Sara, was so knowledgeable about Spanish history and art. We feel that our experience was so much more memorable due to her expertise and willingness to go the extra step in giving us an unique view of the incredible art and beauty of the city.

Excellent walking tour of the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace. We were lucky to have a very experienced guide and discover a side of Madrid that isn't accessible to all tourists. Thank you.

Highly recommend the private tour with Sara

Sara was amazing! We had a fabulous day visiting the museum and palace. She took her time and answered our questions. The walk between both establishments she pointed highlighted parts of the city and some businesses to potentially visit on our own later. Highly recommend the private tour with her.

Response from the operator: Dear Donna, Thank you for such a thoughtful review. A private tour like this really allows for a more relaxed and personalized experience, so it’s wonderful to hear Sara took the time to adapt the visit, answer your questions, and connect both the Prado and the Royal Palace in a meaningful way. That walk between the two is also a special moment to discover Madrid beyond the monuments, so it’s great you enjoyed those extra insights and recommendations. We truly appreciate your recommendation. Best, The Fun and Tickets Team

Better Time Management is Needed for a 5 hour tour of these 2 sites!

Our group of 4 (two couples) hired a private guide for this walking tour. David tried to give us a good experience, but there were some logistical and organizational issues that posed a challenge. It was to be a 5 hour walking tour and we made clear that we did not have extra time because of a paella cooking class scheduled that same day. We needed to start and end on time. We got a note the night before our tour asking us to allow a start time of 30-40 minutes later. There did not seem to be an option, so we did that but as a result, our walking tour was squeezed and needed some revised planning to cover everything and finish on time. David is not a brisk walker. He saunters and strolls. I was getting anxious about how long it was taking to get from our hotel to the palace. Perhaps we should have been told to meet somewhere else (rathe than our hotel given the loss of time) so our guided time to the two points of interest would be used better - and not just strolling. The palace has certain rooms under construction and when we arrived, we wasted more time discovering that our private guide could not enter. Our small group of 4 had to be consolidates with a larger group and a different guide. She was an excellent guide, by the way. She made the palace stories and history interesting and fun but when we finished the palace, we only had 1.5 hours remaining (of our 5 hour tour) to go to the Prado! Not nearly enough time. David met us after the palace tour and sauntered leisurely for a while when I finally told him that we either needed to get in a taxi or walk much faster if we wanted to have any time at the Prado. Ours was a BRIEF Prado experience. Very disappointing. The museum was busy and crowded in the afternoon. We missed our early, quiet time entry because of the delayed start and we only saw a few highlights before having to leave. This tour needs to have excellent time management and a guide who is sensitive to that - in order to make it work. 5 hours is not very much time to cover 2 important sites on foot.

Response from the operator: Dear Pam, Thanks for sharIng your opinion. We take into account each of your comments to improve your future tours with us. We apologize for not having met your expectations. Warm regards, Fun and Tickets Team

Insightful and enjoyable

David was promptly at our hotel at 9am even though we booked this the day before in the late afternoon. He was very knowledgeable of the city, of history and dates, and answered every question we had with insight. We enjoyed the morning and afternoon with him and glad we did this private tour with him! Lots of walking so put your walking shoes on.
