Hello,
I plan to buy online ticket for Madrid Royal Palace for September 30, or October 1, but debating whether to buy guided tour or not. One concern I have is that at the end of the tour, visitors are let out of the palace, not allowed to go back in for more detailed look at our own time. This happened to us once at a different European museum. Does anyone know this would be the case for Royal Palace?
If buying self-guided ticket, the advantage is self-paced, but wondering whether there is good English narrative in the palace?
Appreciate any response!

We used the audio guide but booked a tour of the kitchens, only way you can see them. The tour was in Spanish but we just used the audio guide. Why the kitchen is included on the audio guide but you need a tour guide I don’t understand. Anyway, after the kitchens we had to exit. So, if your tour includes the kitchens you probably have to exit.

Thank you Barbara for the reply. I saw from a tripadvisor post that guided tour will not allow people linger longer. So we better just buy the guided tour and add on an audio guide. It is strange today that the online ticket website has no guided tour available for my date like yesterday did. All available is self-guided tour with early time slots that were not available yesterday.
