Our guide Rocio was extremely knowledgeable and very pleasant. She made us smile with her stories. Thank you
Apparently, many others had early entry, as the Prado was rather crowded. Nevertheless, our guide was superb, and both museums were very interesting. Both should be on the list for anyone visiting Madrid
The guide is great, the time is too short. You absolutely walk by too many paintings and cannot stop to see them all, though you can stay in the Prado after the tour for as long as you want.
