Frequently Asked Questions

You'll meet your private guide at our office at Calle Coloreros, 2 - just off Calle Mayor 20, just a two-minute walk from Plaza Mayor. From there, you'll walk together to the Royal Palace to begin the visit.

Your guide dedicates roughly the first half to the Royal Palace, including the walk from our meeting point through the historic center, then leads you on foot to the Prado for the second half. Because it's a private tour, we can shift a little more time toward whichever museum interests your group most.

It's a full day, but since it's just your group, the guide sets the pace to match yours — slower through the Palace's state rooms, a proper breather on the walk to the Prado, and no rushing through galleries.

Yes. Skip-the-line tickets for both the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum are included in the price, so you won't queue or pay extra at either door.

It's fully private and exclusive — your guide works only with your party from start to finish, with no other travelers joining in at the Palace or the Prado.

No — both the Royal Palace and the Prado prohibit photography inside, and staff enforce it closely, especially at the Prado. Your guide will let you know exactly where you can capture photos, such as the Palace courtyards and the museum's entrance areas.

The tour is rated easy walking, mostly on flat cobbled streets between the office, the Palace, and the Prado, so comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are all you need.

Absolutely — that's the point of going private. Just tell your guide at the start and they'll build in seating breaks or a slower pace through the galleries without cutting either visit short.
