It was really really wonderful to see all the wonderful paintings. I knew it was a very large museum but it was really quite difficult and complicated to navigate the route. I think the path through the museum needs to be more user friendly.

Great group tour. It would have been Excellent if it would be slowed down a bit. It went pretty fast and there was a ton of people. The tour guide said he had never seen it that busy. Our tour guide was Florine and he was very knowledgeable and spoke good English. Would recommend this tour and suggest you do the Prado Museum first to see Goya's art collection, if you have the time.

Awesome collections. Would have skipped the Thyssen had we not opted for the Paseo del Artes and that would have been a big mistake. Ticket usage was a little confusing. Would have liked to know that "over 65" reduced rates are not restricted to EU citizens, as they are in France.

The museum is huge and the works of art are impressive. A must see in Madrid or in Europe, if thinking on a larger scale. However, I would recommend buying the tickets at least 2 days in advance, so that the QR Code has time to be generated. Otherwise, it might cause some disconfort due to the fact that the counter people emitting the tickets at Prado have the tendency to not want to enter just the numer credentials. So, you need to be more persuasive and ferm.

These tickets are valid for an extended duration. The exact details will be present on the ticket.
