Visiting the Royal Palace of Madrid was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Spain. This was a great experience and the tickets really did help in skipping the long lines to purchase tickets on side. There was still a bit of waiting involved ahead of security screening but it wasn't very long at all. It's Europe’s largest functioning royal palace, with over 3,400 rooms! While the Spanish royal family no longer lives there, it’s still used for official ceremonies. The royal banquet hall was especially impressive. We were surrounded by lavish gold detailing, frescoed ceilings, velvet walls, portraits, musical instruments and so much more. The Throne and Porcelain Rooms were my favourites. It truly felt like stepping into a different world, one of unimaginable wealth and grandeur. I was positively surprised that they now allow visitors to take photos! Highly recommended

The Royal palace is beautiful, amazing to see but too many people, we had skip the line tickets but we still had to wait in the sun to get in and the toilets were awful and dirty, and far too many people at once.

Received the tickets within an hour of my booking, and didn't need to download an app to get them (that would have been a deal breaker). Had no problems using the tickets and the Madrid Royal Palace was absolutely amazing!

It was wonderful! You sent confirmations, notices that the event was approaching and I felt all the support. I have to confess that I was afraid after I bought with you because I then saw several complaints from users, but you showed that you provide an excellent service! Thank you so much

Powercut in Spain on 28th April meant our train from Murcia did not leave the station. The subsequent Internet and mobile phone network prevented notification. Whilst we travelled to Madrid on 29th April by train we arrived too late to be able to take a tour of the palace. Not really Headout's fault but the train operator and rail company both automatically refunded costs.

Due to the blackout the palace was closed. Please instruct us about the refund policy, as we had to return home and rescheduling is not an option. Thank you.

I cannot work out why 4 senior tickets at E7 comes to E63 even with booking fee. Once in the first door there is another ticket check across the courtyard. My ticket would not load again and we were almost turned away. Will probably not use this system again. Sorry

The rooms that can be visited are not many but some are really amazing and definitely worth the visit. Only negative note is that they should limit the number of visitors because the rooms were really too crowded. Experience with headout unimpeachable.

Easy to find entrance, friendly staff & a great audio guide. The Gallery is well laid out with amazing exhibits & the clear concise commentary provided a comprehensive overview of the Spanish royals.

Not sure what skip the line means. We waited 30 minutes in the rain. I did have a final ticker not a voucher so not sure what your "I expected my voucher..." means. Turns out people with no tix got in faster than we did

One of my favorites in Madrid. Definitely try and buy tickets online before you go so you don't have to wait in the long line to buy tickets. Definitely worth it.

The tour with Lydia was informative and entertaining at the same time and she was always open to questions. For me, the palace was a great experience - the Stradivaris were the icing on the cake.
