Wonderful tour
Amal (I'm not sure I spelled this correctly) gave a wonder tour. She gave us interesting and relevant information when viewing the paintings in the museum and was caring in her approach to our welfare.

A live mini masterclass
After several semi private and private tours in Italy within the past 12 months, we believe that Rodrigo has been our most engaging tour guide and art expert to date. His thoughtful approach to selecting which art to highlight and his mini masterclass for each piece was refreshing, educational and inspirational. Our teenagers left quite impressed. We are so grateful that this was part of our humanities education.

A fun day at El Prado Museum
Amaya made our visit to El Prado Museum AMAZING! She walked us through the museum telling us about the masterpieces in great detail 👌. Her animated expressions made it more interesting and fun.

Excellent Art Tour
Amaya was a wonderful guide. She had so much information to share! You could tell how much she loved the paintings and wanted to share that feeling. Small group tours are much more personable and I think you learn so much more.

Great tour of the Prado and Reina Sofia
We enjoyed a superb tour of the Prado and the Reina Sofia with our guide Amaya. Art galleries can be overwhelming, especially for somebody who studied art history and wants to see everything, so it was refreshing to concentrate on a few key paintings and understand their provenance and significance. At the Reina Sofia I was introduced to some Spanish artists who I had never come across which made it even more interesting and it was remarkable to view Guernica in real life for the first time. We also loved the building and the courtyard. All in all a really special and personal experience thanks to Amaya.
Operator response
