The guide was great. I loved the impressive art of Spain which I studied in college many years ago. It was not too crowded. Just wonderful.

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!
