Interesting information, well worth the extra money. - The meeting location was easy to locate. Our guide was wonderful. We had 8 people in our group and were the only ones in the museum before it opened. We stayed 2 hours afterwards to visit the rest of the museum.

superb tour - Superb, one of the most memorable times of our vacation. Being virtually alone in the Prado is breathtaking, but it was Adolpho who made the tour superb. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the art and artists elevated our understanding of both.

Phenomenal- Absolute Highlight-must do VIP Pre-Opening Tour for the unparalleled experience - Outstanding! We were the only 10 visitors in the entire museum for an hour and because our guide had planned well, we were almost alone for the last 30 minutes as well. The guide was exceptional and made it very interesting and enjoyable for for us- from the casual museum goer to knowledgeable art enthusiast. Truly not to be missed and no other way to have this experience.

Great way to see the Prado - We were so glad to have the opportunity to see some of the most popular works with a small group before the museum opened. The guide was knowledgeable and informative. I would definitely recommend seeing the Prado this way: have the museum to yourselves for an hour or so, and spend a few more hours savoring the rest among the crowds.

Perfect way to visit a Museum! - We had a terrific tour and history lesson! It was intimate and amazing paintings! Loved Goya's black paintings - precursor to Francis Bacon. It is something we will do again when we come back to Madrid!

Wonderful way to get acquainted with works at the Prado - Our guide Florin was excellent. The tour was excellent. We were able to look at several paintings and sculptures in context of time and place. Highly recommend this tour. You get to see famous paintings we all are familiar with but with new appreciation of techniques and history
