We had access to all the collections and the tickets were cheaper than anywhere else. Because we used booking through the app, we didn't need to queue.

The Tour guide, Nacho, was very knowledgable and gave good/interesting information about the art. He was very thoughtful to my husband who had injured his knee. He told him where the elevator was so he didn't have to always take the stairs. I suggest taking an early tour so you have time to see everything in the museum after the guided tour is over.

Very well organized, smooth crowd flow, and spacious rooms that make it easy to admire the artworks. A wonderful experience discovering these iconic painters. One small note: the signage is easy to follow on levels 0 and 1, but hard to find and understand on level 2. Best regards

Very informative guide, Sara, who took us to prominent artwork and explained the features. Loved her knowledge and passion. She led us through a maze of rooms that would have confused us. The tour was excellent - the only issue was ticketing and gaining access which took almost an hour.

Upon arrival, we were given audio guides and started using them right away, but we soon realized that the works described were often in different rooms far apart from each other, which slowed down the tour. The museum is immense, and the fantastic artworks are striking for their light and colors, but it's impossible to take them all in.

If visiting Prado and not an art history expert, I'd strongly recommend a guided tour. Hearing the tour guide via the headphones was occassionally difficult due to background noise and the museum itself was quite crowded but I think I'd have enjoyed it less without being part of the guided tour.

The museum was beautiful. We did find using the audio guide on our phone and the museum map difficult to navigate. It was really hard to figure out the flow from room to room to find the painting because the orders of the painting in the audio did not match the museum map.
