I overplayed my hand on this one. I was exhausted after the Prado. I thought my tickets would still be good for the next day, so I didn't used them. Tickets are only good the day of. Now I know. I really enjoyed the Prado. Next time, I will purchase the tickets separately.

The guide was excellent and made the tour very informative and interesting. We had to wait in a queue for groups to enter and get through the security system which took some time. The attendants in the museum were trying to rush us through at the end as we were over our allocated time which wasn't the best way to end the tour. Perhaps a smaller group size would have helped but overall we enjoyed the tour.
