What a great experience! From ticketing to our guided to tour with Sara, we had the most informative and enjoyable time exploring El Prado. Sara's knowledge was incredible. And the App is super user friendly. Will use Headout in the future! Thank you, Sara!

Our guide Luis was excellent. I especially liked how he explained the connections between artists from different eras, for example taking Las Meninas. Who knew the connection between Valesquez and Dali? I didn't, but now I do. Thank you Luis.

The ticketing process is seamless and easy. Was given earlier access than stated entrance time. The staff were helpful and ready to answer any questions. It's a wonderful collection of the well known masters and those not so recognizable.
