Have any non-Spanish speakers taken the Royal Kitchen tour? It's only offered in Spanish. I've tried Googling and saw that there appears to be some displays with text in English that you can read along the tour, but I wasn't sure if that was enough to justify the entire spoken part of the guided tour in a language we don't understand. It's only $4 more for the kitchen tour so its not really a matter of cost, mostly we just don't want to feel like it was a waste of time or awkward to be part of the Spanish speaking group. We're big foodies and love cooking + history so it seems like it would be right up our alley if the language barrier wasn't a factor.

I am another English speaker. Pero antes de mi viaje a España aprendí algo de español. On another trip I went to Lucha Libre Mexican wrestling in Mexico City. No I haven't done a Spanish guided tour. The tour guide wouldn't kick you out if he/she found out you are not a Spanish speaker. Mind reading is not a thing. You can keep quiet and pretend you are listening.
