Paola was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. Her English was spot on. She shared a lot of additional details regarding the connection of Prado Museum with the city and it's history. The tour was not at all rushed we had enough time to see each masterpiece in details while listening to her and we also had a small bonus given we had time left.

Our guide Juan was great, right from the meeting point to be guided for the first visit in this splendid museum, beginning with 'El Bosco' -Hieronimus Bosch's world, and giving us wonderful details as well as all the great highlights through the different centuries. An awesome tour, and interesting and pleasant, thank you!

My guide made the museum experience really meaningful. now i wonder if i would enjoy all museums way more with a guide! she honed in on four concepts- mainly time periods- and helped us understand more about the artistic techniques we were seeing, as well as understanding the political and historical context that the art was created within. it was amazing. note: i can't share a photo because photos are strictly forbidden at the Prado.
