Art history Tour ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - My husband and I met up with Diego and he was friendly, respectful and kind. We really enjoyed his energy and enthusiasm for art and history. We were impressed with his ability to transmit his passion for art. I was totally needing-out with all his vast knowledge. The side stories were very engaging and entertaining. I taught languages and a bit of art history, so meeting someone with a kindred spirit was refreshing. I highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in a deep dive into the major works at El Prado. I will recommend him to my travel advisor at Elite Group Travel based in Texas.

Excellent tour of the Prado with Diego from Experience First Tours! - We had such an excellent Experience First tour led by Diego at the Prado Museum! Diego was a very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide and we are so happy that he was assigned to our tour. He shared information about the art itself and about the history when the art was created. He also answered all of my questions and my husband’s questions throughout the tour. We highly recommend Diego’s tours of the Prado! We are grateful we had this experience while visiting Madrid.

Truly informative but enjoyable! - This was hands down the best museum tour we have ever had. It ended up just being my partner and I so we had a private experience. The tour guide Christina (apologies if I have the name misspelled) was engaging, asked lots of thought provoking questions to enhance our viewing, and selected a great set of paintings to view. Would highly recommend!

Kristina was wonderful and very oassionate and knowledgeable - Kristina was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about art history and was passionate about each of the artists. It was a very personal tour with insight into the artist life, including triumphs and struggles. It was interesting to bridge philosophy, religion, and art together, and she did it so beautifully.
