€125 guided tour of noble houses and gardens (2.5 hours, small group)

The language caveat: check your slot
Both the €22 official tour and the €26 GetYourGuide tour exist in Spanish and English. When you book, check which language your specific departure slot is. Reviewers note that some booked English but found the guide spoke Spanish. If there’s a mismatch, the €15 self-guided entry with audio guide is a backup (your own pace, your own phone/earbuds).
