Florin did an amazing tour! - Today I got to go on tour with Florin and a couple of 12 other people which felt like a really small group compared to others we saw. We were first into the Royal Palace and had it to ourselves for the first couple rooms. Florin is really thorough with the information he gives and then at the Prado, his favorite, you could tell how much he enjoyed it. Thanks also for including the Mona Lisa! Super cool :)

Great Informative Day - Our tour guide Maria did an excellent job of sharing important information about the palace and the Prado Museum, and kept the day fun as well. We learned a lot at each location that we may not have known had we not taken this tour with Maria. It was a great day!

Great tour, fabulous guide! - Excellent! Our guide, Florin, was absolutely super. The itinerary was great and Florin made it even better. We thoroughly enjoyed his explanations at both the Palace and the Prado. There was certainly a lot to see! However, Florin made it understandable without being too brief. The short city tour, between the Palace and the museum gave us a good understanding of the history and development of Madrid. The stop for chocolate and churros was a wonderful treat. We totally recommend this tour and commend Florin as an exceptional guide.

Fantastic tour with a very knowledgeable guide - Our guide Ernesto was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable about both the Royal Palace history, including the Royal family, the interior decor and furnishings and also classical art, showing us many key artworks in The Prado and explaining their significance in terms of style, subject matter etc… I highly recommend this tour.
