Perfect Prado guide - Seeing the Prado Museum for the first time with guide Angel was perfect. So vast, this museum could be overwhelming but Angel distilled the viewing down to the most important paintings that best represented the most important periods in art history. His knowledge is comprehensive and he explained clearly what was being looked at and why it is significant. Could not ask for better in a guide—or a better guide.

Excellent introduction to Spanish Art - Our guide Ana was an arts graduate and qualified local guide whose enthusiasm and knowledge of the museum and the paintings made a most enjoyable and informative visit. She concentrated on the Spanish art but was flexible when we wanted to linger over certain subjects. Well worth the expense, a top class way to spend a morning at the Prado. Thank you!

First trip to the Prado - David was an excellent tour guide. He explained the paintings in relation to history, schools of art, and previous painters.. An afternoon at the Prado is only an introduction!
