The young lady guide was perfect: friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and sharing. The price of the service was more than justified by her skills. Bravo to her.

The tour went really well! Our guide, Jesus, was amazing! The hour and a half went by way too fast. My 18-year-old daughter wasn't very happy that I'd booked a guide before the tour, but at the end she told me she really enjoyed it.

I want to highlight Gaby’s excellent work as a guide during the tour of the Prado Museum. Her knowledge of the artworks and art history made every explanation interesting, clear, and enriching. In addition to her expertise, she conveyed a contagious passion that turned the visit into an enjoyable and memorable experience. Gaby answered all our questions patiently and thoroughly, tailoring the tour to the group’s interests. I highly recommend her tour to anyone who wants to discover the Prado Museum in an engaging, educational, and exciting way. An exceptional experience!

Juan, the guide, was great. Antonio gave us a very engaging explanation of many of the paintings. It's a shame it only lasted two hours. Highly recommended.
