Irina is super nice, knows a lot about art history, answers questions and plans well the visits. When buying your tickets, be aware that the entrance for the museums are not included, so the whole experience becomes very expensive.
Dear Ana_S , Thank you very much for your kind words about Irina and the tour itself. It is a pleasure to know that you enjoyed her explanations and planning. Regarding the price of the experience, there may have been a misunderstanding. Before making a reservation, we always recommend carefully reviewing the sections “What’s Included” and “What’s Not Included”. On the Viator's tour page, it is clearly stated that museum entrance tickets are not included in the tour price and must be purchased separately by the guest. We understand that additional costs can be disappointing if they were not expected, but in this case, the information was fully detailed before booking. For future reservations, both with us and with any other operator, reading these sections in advance will help avoid this kind of inconvenience and ensure the experience matches your expectations. Thank you again for your feedback and for choosing to visit the Prado and Reina Sofía with us.

We had a fantastic time visiting the Prado and Reina Sofía museums with Irina. Our guide was so knowledgeable and accommodating, and her interaction was perfect. The museums were so big that there was no way we would have been able to navigate them and see the highlights in a timely way, this tour made sure we did just that, an excellent experience with such an excellent guide.

Do not miss the opportunity to appreciate the Prado with the expert insights of this art historian. Irina is a delightfully exciting and inspiring guide, not a dry academic. We had such an amazing experience with Irina at the Prado that we asked her to guide us at the Thyssen and Reina Sofia Museums as well.

Irina was a treasure of information, well presented, very enthusiastic! She made all the paintings come to life and was well worth the money! We would highly recommend this tour and guide!
Irina was a wonderful tour guide. We took a private Jewish tour of the Prado and Royal Palace. She communicates easily, was fun to be with, and most importantly, she wound the history and the art together cohesively. We would recommend Irina.
