"With years of art study, Elena was an exceptionally engaging guide through the Prado offering details that we would have missed. Her insights both both the art and his to navigate a museum of this size were tremendous! "
"We are so grateful for this time. Iker did an amazing job setting the context for the art over time, the societal expression, the significance of art pieces and a joy and fascination both for the artistic talent and artistic expression. We feel like we got so much from the tour. Even my teenager liked it and felt it was so much better going with him and really diving into some pieces vs going on our own and not understanding much.
Iker is a heart filled person who is a joy to meet and gives insights into the Spanish culture. We visited the Palace the next day and it was cool how much of what he shared informed that visit also. "
"María is a knowledgeable and delightful tour guide. My daughter and I had a great time learning about the history of the art movements and how they were influenced by Spanish and European history. Maria encouraged us to see the works we already knew and loved and introduced us to new artists who have become new favorites. I can’t recommend this tour enough!"

"Victor was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with great information. The tour of El Prado Museum was unforgettable. "
"Victor was an amazing tour guide. His knowledge and passion for art and history was contagious! My son and I enjoyed the 2 hour tour. We would not have gotten nearly as much out of the museum if we had tried to navigate ourselves. I highly recommend Victor - he is kind, funny, and wicked smart!"
"Iker was the gift. As a committed student of the Prado’s artworks, the knowledge and insights he shared with our family group was critical to our understanding and appreciating the art we were experiencing. We weren’t just looking, we were learning. Iker made our visit truly unique and unforgettable. Book him now. If you can!"
"We had a wonderful experience on our tour of the Prado Museum with Iker. He’s incredibly intelligent and impressively knowledgeable. He guided us through the museum’s most significant artworks, sharing their fascinating histories. It’s clear that Iker has dedicated a great deal of time to studying the art at the Prado. I would not hesitate to book a tour with him."
"Maria pointed out many details of paintings and sculptures we would have missed on our own. She answered our questions patiently and respected our slow pace. Excellent "
"Majo provided us with a great tour of the Prado! She conducted a tour that was chronological in order of the art, deftly moving us from gallery to gallery all over the museum. Her Art History knowledge and pointing out nuances and highlights of individual pieces provided us with a fascinating perspective on many famous Spanish artists, as well as life during those centuries. We would highly recommend her...yes, you can see the best of the Prado in 2 hours! "
"A very enjoyable and informative tour with Maria. Lots of information regarding art and Spanish history. Maria related this with a sense of sincerity and heart. "
