Good art education - My wife and I very much enjoyed our Prado Museum tour with our guide , Almu. She was very knowledgeable of all the beautiful art pieces she had chosen to show us . She pointed out some very interesting insights on each one and we learned a lot more about art from her discussion.

Fabulous, personalized tour! - Our tour guide, Andrea, was fabulous. She brought great knowledge and passion around the history of the museum and the various art collections. We received advance communications which allowed our meet up to be extremely smooth. Andrea kept our teenage daughters engaged, and we all had a great experience at the Prado! Andrea even gave us a list of her favorite restaurants in Madrid at the end of the tour!

Amazing tour, worth it - David was an amazing tour guide who not only provided important context to the paintings as we saw them, but constructed a narrative as we walked through the museum. He picked out several of the most important artists and took us through the museum as he constructed the narrative, chronologically, from one artist to the next. Specifically the information he provided on Goya was incredible and changed my perspective on the man. Incredible tour.

Excellent personalized tour of the Prado. - Our family loved our tour of the Prado Museum with David. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. He added a few paintings at our request and delivered an ad hoc talk on the spot. We peppered him with tough questions and he was completely up to the task. Would be happy to have him guide us around other cultural sites. Highly recommended.

The most amazing tour guide EVER! - José was truly outstanding! His knowledge of the museum and highlighting the top pieces as well as walking us through the artists and subject matters that influenced these masterpieces was incredible! He knew the museum like the back of his hand and we were able to see everything we wanted and more!!! I highly recommend José as your guide. And he’s funny! He knows intimate details about the artists lives and relationships that really add so much to viewing their works!

Masterful tour of the Spanish masters - In the course of 2.5 hours with Ana M., we felt our brains expanding with all the knowledge of Spanish art that we were acquiring, along with the historical context in which that art was made. Great combination of accessibility and depth — truly worth every penny.
