Madrid's audio tour

Anyone done Rick's self-guided "historic core walk" audio tour recently? If so, please let me know how long it took you. I need to figure out how much time approximately to allot it it my itinerary. He says the estimated time for some and others not :(

Description of this walk in the Spain guide says about 2 hours

Can’t you listen to the audio ahead of time to confirm the length?

The length of the audio tours does not let you know the actual time it takes to do one. You often pause because it takes more time to look at a church than the audio tour has stuff to speak about or walking from one place to another takes more time then it allows. Pause and start is often how they go. This tour in particular includes the Royal palace along the path but only discusses the exterior. Most of us are going to go inside and that takes additional time. Ive done a few of them and I can assure you the 86 mins this walk is, is only a jumping off point. Where did you see the "two hours" in the book? I must have missed that.

In the first paragraph under
PUERTA DEL SOL TO ROYAL PALACE WALK

Obviously everyone will tour and walk and pause and stop to visit interiors at a different pace so not sure how you get an answer for how long it will take you to do it.
