Elisa showed us the Prado's main works in great detail. She also introduced us to women painters, which was a big plus for the visit. We really enjoyed it, and thanks to Elisa.

The guide was not what I expected, the experience was very slow and repeated the facts over and over again. We spent 2 hours on the same floor of the Queen Sofia Museum .... and the explanations lacked detail.
