    After a pleasant walk through the streets of Madrid with your private guide from your hotel, skip the lines and enter the magnificent Royal Palace on your personal guided tour. Built in the 18th century on the site of a medieval Moorish Alcazar, the palace was home to the Bourbon dynasty until 1931. As one of the best preserved royal residences in Europe, your private tour of Madrid’s Royal Palace takes you through this important historic attraction accompanied by your knowledgeable and enthusiastic local guide. Filled with lavish furnishings, beautiful tapestries, frescoes and elegant furniture, the Royal Palace is still used for official state functions. Learn about Spanish culture and eccentricities of the past kings of Spain as part of your tour. Understand how Spanish royal life, music, art and architectural influences interconnect with the rest of Europe as your private guide brings this symbol of power vividly to life. Our private tour of the Royal Palace in Madrid includes the Royal Armour and the splendid Throne Room. It also features the stunning Painting Gallery which showcases priceless artworks by some of Spain’s most famous artists including Velazquez and Goya. After leaving the Palace your guide will take you for a quick peek into the Cathedral of Madrid, the Cathedral of Santa Maria de la Almudena.
