Jamie was an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable, kind, and energetic. His English was great and he made a visit to the Prado so much more worthwhile.





I will show you a special selection of masterpieces in the best gallery in the world, while explaining the historical details of each painting, as well as the meaning and techniques used. We will see not only the most important masterpieces in the Prado, but also some of my favorite and lesser-known pieces. You will enjoy some of the great masters: Bosch, Patinir, Rubens, Tiziano, Tintoretto, Veronese, El Greco, Goya, Velázquez ...very impressive!

Amazing! Jaime me covered all the major artworks with great knowledge and care. He was unbelievably helpful and responsive and organized. When we had trouble getting museum tickets, he helped tremendously.
Jaime Sanchez is a very cordial guide with a deep knowledge of art. We went to The Prado museum with him and he made this experience ever so much more worthwhile than if we had gone to the museum solo. His selection of paintings at The Prado was especially well curated. In sum, if you are going to The Prado in Madrid, your visit will be immeasurably enhanced by having Jaime as your guide.
Jaime is a wonderful, engaging, and effective presenter of the sweep of historical Spanish painting contained within the Prado Museum. He has carefully selected examples from the dizzying collection of European art from Gothic through 19th Century. My wife and I heartily enjoyed the experience.
Excellent experience with Jaime! He was our engaging, animated and extremely knowledgeable Prado guide. He was able to impart multiple layers of meaning and significance to a selection of the most important works in the vast collection. Highly recommend!
The Prado is such an amazing museum and the collection is beyond extraordinary... that being said I cannot imagine trying to navigate that impressive and large collection without an expert to help guide you through the important pieces... otherwise you would get overwhelmed in the first hour. Jaime was simply amazing and his passion for the artwork is not only obvious, it is contagious. He was so helpful in explaining why certain pieces of art were considered important and was able to place them in a context to flow from one era to the next. Looking at the art through his eyes and with his explanations was so powerful that I stayed after the tour and actually went back to the pieces he discussed to impress on my memory everything he mentioned.
Jaime is not only a scholar but an animated storyteller in tying the historical context to life. He has a very thoughtful collection of pieces he’s chosen to highlight the breadth of content contained in the Prada Museum. He’s outstanding and I can’t recommend him more highly.
Jaime provides an excellent tour of some of The Prado's most intriguing collection pieces. He is both personable and knowledgable, and conveys interesting background and interpretations of each work featured in an engaging manner. Do not hesitate to book this tour!
Any tour that you can take with Jamie will be the right decision! He is an excellent guide! I'll just warn you....he has a lot of favorites & even more surprises! So knowledgeable and kind!
I went to the Prado because I knew I should but Jaime's tour has made me want to come back. The Prado is large and overwhelming but by selecting his favorite pieces thru the centuries to share with us his passion was infectious. He's knowledgeable and engaging. The hours flew by and I was actually sad when it was over. Do not hesitate to book this tour. Jaime is the perfect guide!
