An incredible experience. The Royal Palace is stunning, and the guided tour of the Royal Kitchen was one of my favorite parts because it lets you discover a little-known side of history. The guide made the tour very enjoyable, and we learned so many interesting facts. One tip: arrive early. The time shown on the app is for the start of the guided tour of the Royal Kitchen, not for entering the Palace. It’s important to arrive a few minutes early so that, when the time comes, you’re already inside and ready to begin the tour. I highly recommend it if you’re visiting Madrid!

    We arrived, and they kindly took us on a tour of the kitchens. It took us less than five minutes from the entrance.

    A great experience—the skip-the-line tickets were super convenient. Plus, since we hadn’t realized we were supposed to start with the guided tour of the kitchens, they let us do that at the end of the Royal Palace tour. I definitely recommend it.
