Awesome!!! Super good with kids and adults. Very patient and willing to tell us about what interested us!
¡Muchas gracias por tu reseña, Fernanda! Me alegra mucho que fuese una experiencia tan buena para todos, es siempre un placer contar con viajeros tan curiosos y amables como vosotros. Espero que tengáis un buen verano, y volver a veros pronto por Madrid. Saludos cordiales desde Madrid, Isabella
The best of the guides I have been with, fun and very interesting, engaging explanations, entertaining, with relevant and curious facts. My 10-year-old daughter followed the explanations very attentively and understood each fact and detail perfectly. Approachable and fun, Isabel was professional while also being very friendly and helpful. Much more than just another tour guide. A person passionate about her work and great with children. In summary, highly recommended, perfect. We will definitely return to hire your services again.
Muchísimas gracias por dedicarle tiempo a escribirme unas palabras tan bonitas, Nerea. Para mí es muy importante conectar con todos los participantes, niños y adultos, y saber que os fuisteis del Museo del Prado con tan buen sabor de boca es una alegría. ¡Espero volver a veros muy pronto por Madrid! Hasta pronto, Isabella
My husband and I visited the Prado Museum with our two boys, ages 5 and 11, and my elderly father. Isabella was absolutely wonderful with our entire group, kept the experience fun and engaging for all ages and interests. She is highly knowledgeable and did an excellent job explaining things for everyone in the family. I really appreciated her enthusiasm, energy and presence. I highly recommend the tour and Isabella.
It was wonderful strolling through the Prado Museum with all of you, C.! The children were fantastic, and it is always a pleasure to share some time enjoying art with families who are so keen and eager to have a good time. I hope to see you all again soon; in the meantime, I look forward to welcoming you back to Madrid! Best regards, Isabella
We highly recommend Isabella! She was our guide for the Prado. She was very knowledgeable and kept our jet-lagged teenagers engaged the whole time! They even wanted to stay longer so they can learn to interpret the art pieces (thanks to Isabella!) Book direct with Isabella and shop local!
Thank you so much for these words! I really enjoyed showing you around the museum! Enjoy the rest of your trip in Andalucía, and thank you again for choosing me as your guide in the Prado Museum! Best regards, Isabella
Isabella is a knowledgeable, funny, experienced and incredibly engaging guide who has the capacity to bring art and history to life in the most enjoyable way. Her selection of what to see, the order of works, the relevant background and the way she delivers her commentary are fun, informative and tailored to her audience. She prepares the tour and provides any relevant information. She is a great communicator and brings warmth and passion into her work. We toured El Escorial and, more recently, the Prado with Isabella and found both visits to be excellent, illuminating, thought provoking and entertaining. We could not recommend Isabella highly enough!
Dear David, I truly appreciate your words, and having such kind, educated, and curious travellers on my tours. There is no better motivation for my work. I wish you a wonderful trip back home, and I also hope that one day you will return to Spain to discover more of it, and that I’ll be able to show you more of the wonders hidden inside our museums and monuments. Thank you again for your generosity and recommendation. It was a pleasure meeting you both. Warm regards, Isabella
We spent a wonderful couple of hours at the Prado with our guide Isabella. She tailored the tour for us and our children (7 and 10), keeping them engaged with stories and hitting the highlights of the museum to the benefit of both parents and children! She made the paintings come to life with her conversation and was mindful not to overwhelm the kids with information. We left the museum with great memories and the kids have been talking about the stories behind Goya and Velasquez for a few days. If you are touring with children, I’d strongly recommend this tour.
Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear that the whole family enjoyed the Prado. Making art accessible and fun for children is a true passion of mine, and knowing they are still talking about Goya and Velázquez is the best compliment I could receive. It was a joy to tailor the tour for you all! Hope to welcome you in Madrid any other time :) Warmly, Isabella
Unforgettable experience. We did a family tour, my husband, my 12-year-old daughter and me. We had wanted to go to the Prado Museum for a long time... I knew the family tour option and I got hooked on the idea, I thought it would be a way to get to know the paintings in a more enjoyable way... but we actually got hooked in an amazing way from the first moment. Isabella Trebede our guide, makes you delve into history and navigate through time and manage to understand the pictures in another way in detail, anecdotes and other stories... leave you wanting to return. Time flies by but leaves you an unforgettable rest. I was surprised how after the visit my daughter spoke to her grandparents and told them in detail about the visit: the paintings. their meaning, details. 100% recommended!!
No sabes cuánto me ilusiona (y me emociona un poquito también) leer estas palabras. Para mí es maravilloso lograr conectar así en una visita guiada; que os haya quedado este poso es una verdadera alegría. Muchísimas gracias por elegirme para recorrer el Museo del Prado y por tomaros el tiempo de escribir una reseña tan bonita, de verdad. Mila esker :) Isabella
The visit was just great, we enjoyed it from start to finish. Isabella has such a pleasant and close way of explaining that the two hours are spent flying, leaving you wanting to continue learning and enjoying much more. We will certainly repeat with her as soon as we have the opportunity. Fully recommended.
Raquel, muchísimas gracias por elegirme para acompañaros en vuestra visita al Museo del Prado, y por escribir unas palabras tan bonitas. Espero volver a veros pronto por Madrid. Saludos, Isabella
Isa is a great guide! Super attentive and expert. In addition, the explanations are clear and make it an unforgettable and immersive experience. Very nice and highly recommended.
Muchas gracias por estas palabras, y por apreciar mi trabajo, es estupendo compartir el arte y la historia con personas que saben apreciarla (¡y disfrutarla!). ¡Hasta otra ocasión! Isabella
We did the Prado tour last Sunday and it was a fantastic experience. It was immediately noticeable that he did not follow a rigid script or a route learned by heart, but handled a lot of information and mastered the subject in depth. He was able to adapt constantly to questions and requests, jumping from one frame to another or from one topic to another without losing the thread at any time. On the contrary, I always found interesting connections that made everything meaningful. In addition, he told everything in a very pleasant and close way, including anecdotes and small chacarrillos that made the visit even more entertaining. It is a very versatile, dynamic and charming guide, as well as professional. Definitely a highly recommended experience.
Irene, muchísimas gracias por tomarte el tiempo de escribir una reseña tan estupenda. Me hace mucha ilusión que se note el trabajo y las horas de preparación que hay detrás de cada visita, y siempre es un aliciente para seguir trabajando. Muchas gracias, y espero volver a veros pronto en los museos. Isabella
