Maria was phenomenal. Friendly, informed and organized. Worth it to Focus on certain very popular works before the crowds make it challenging to observe close and at a distance. Only wish the Prado would allow operators just a bit more time. If you are in Madrid for a short time or aren’t an hours and hours at a museum person this highlights tour is ideal. I spent several hours after the tour and it was also helpful to get a bit of orientation of the museum.
Very nice, but passing by arts very quickly. It should last longer.
Informative. Best way to experience the Prado museum. Early access. No crowds. Knowledgeable tour guide.
Adam was very knowledgeable, explained how what we saw in the paintings was relevant to that time in history, and made it fun.
This tour is an 11/10! Highly highly recommend! The museum was empty and it was magical to be with all this beautiful art. Our tour guide Adam was amazing; his knowledge behind the curated selection of art we saw was so interesting. The 90 minutes went way too quickly. Highlight of my trip to Madrid!
We toured with Adam. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided a lovely experience. I highly recommend coming in before the museum opens, as the museum gets crowded quickly as soon as it opens.
Ernie was fantastic! His knowledge, energy, charisma & general love for Madrid, the Prado & art history is unmatched. Even for the most movie of guest he will entertain!! Couldn’t recommend this experience enough - to experience the museum prior to opening is an absolutely treat. Would book again 15/10!!!
Well worth it and our guide Ernesto was excellent! Highly recommend this tour before public opening, you truly experience the museum like your own private gallery!
