Visite très intéressante et bien commentée ar notre guide Xavier qui parle très bien le français. Nous étions sur les derniers horaires de visites et avons pu ainsi profiter des pièces visitées sans avoir les autres touristes, les agents de sécurité fermaient les pièces derrière nous. Le Palais royal est une visite incontournable ! Translate this opinion into English.

Very interesting and well-commented tour by our guide Xavier who speaks very good French. We were on the last visiting hours and were able to enjoy the rooms visited without having other tourists, the security guards closed the rooms behind us. The Royal Palace is a must-see!

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.

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.

Our guide, Alba, was wonderful. She made the tour very enjoyable and clearly knew what she was talking about. Although the barrage of dates and names can sometimes be overwhelming when you go to these places, she gave us the necessary, concise, and entertaining information to make the visit much more interesting and interesting than if you went on your own, which is what it's all about. It's definitely worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Nuestra guía durante la visita fue Alba, que es un encanto. Atenta al grupo y aportando datos históricos, anécdotas y curiosidades muy interesantes.

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.
