Excellent private tour. Learned a TON.
10/10, no notes. Michele was friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Such an interesting and educated person. He helped us understand what we were seeing, the different movements of art relevant to the Spanish empire and different royal reigns, and why each work he highlighted was important. We booked a private tour - worth every penny.

2 1/2 Hours Well Spent!!!
I signed up for this small group guided tour. None of the other participants showed up so it was just me and the tour guide Michelle A. He was amazing and I learned a great deal more from him than if I had just wandered around the Prado on my own. He was very knowledgeable and took no short cuts even though I was the only one in the "group". He was truly interested in making sure I got the most out of my time at the Prado. This was 2 1/2 hours well spent.

Wonderful with an incredible guide- Rosita
The Prado is incredible. Our guide, Rosita, was more than wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and able to answer all our questions. Her insights into the art and artists were important and valuable to us. Rosita was friendly and very excited about the Museum. She was able to provide history and fun stories to each exhibit.
We would highly recommend this small group tour.

A perfect tour of the Prado
The Prado can be overwhelming, but our guide, Beatriz, did a fantastic job ushering us to exactly the artists and paintings we were most interested in. She framed each painting and sculpture in both the history of art and the history of Spain. Truly an illuminating and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
