We had an excellent tour with Carlos at the Royal Palace of Madrid. He is knowledgeable, engaging, and exceptionally well-prepared, with a gift for connecting Spanish history to the broader European story in a way that feels clear and conversational. He paced the tour perfectly and welcomed questions throughout. We also visited the cathedral next to the palace, which added important context and made the experience feel complete. One of the best guided tours we’ve had. Highly recommend Carlos.

Andrea’s extensive knowledge of Spain’s very colorful history along with her ability to convey that knowledge made for a very enjoyable tour. We would highly recommend her!!!

You cannot visit the palace without a guide, and Carlos is your guy! I did this tour with my young children and we came in with very little knowledge of the history of Spain. Carlos did an excellent job of starting with a brief overview that was both interesting for an adult while keeping the children engaged. It’s very easy to info dump in a tour like this while explaining the kings and queens, when they ruled, what time period the beautiful art and furnishing were from, etc… Carlos is a pro! You will never feel overwhelmed while leaving feeling you didn’t miss a thing. This is a must see while in Madrid and even better with a guide that is passionate about the subject matter. As an added bonus, prior to our tour Carlos sent us restaurant recommendations near our hotel and helpful directions to meet him. Context is lucky to have him as is anyone that is on one of his tours!
