About this tour
Walk through Spain's grand Royal Palace of Aranjuez with a knowledgeable guide who unlocks the stories behind its gilded rooms and tapestried halls. This 75-minute tour takes you through over 25 chambers, from the Arab Cabinet's ornate seclusion to the Porcelain Cabinet's glazed treasures, the Queen's private quarters, and the independent Royal Chapel. You'll stand where court intrigue unfolded and witness four centuries of craftsmanship. Your guide meets you at the palace entrance and helps secure admission tickets before you begin.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the designated point and assists with ticket purchase at the box office before entering the palace. Once inside, you'll spend 75 minutes moving through interconnected chambers, each revealing different periods of Spanish royal life. The guide provides wireless headsets (bring your own if preferred) so you can hear clearly even in vast halls. Expect to stand for the duration, moving at a moderate pace between rooms. The tour concludes after the Royal Chapel; the palace grounds and exterior are separate from this guided experience.
