The best Prado guide - Excellent synopsis of famous masterpieces in the Prado. Delfina was very knowledgeable re the painters and the history and background of the individual works. The 3 hours flew by very quickly. The sequence of our viewings allowed our group of 7 to avoid large crowds and the provided headphone was loud and had good fidelity not requiring the use of a cell phone.

This has to be the best Prado tour - All the other reviews say it all. Delfi is an outstanding tour guide who will make the overwhelming Prado very accessible to you! We were a group of 6 and there were some crowds around very famous works, but Delfi provides a headset so you have an expert whispering in your ear to help you appreciate the details as well as the larger context of the paintings. There are many tours available, but I can't imagine a better one than Delfi's! Don't miss out.

Exceptional Tour! - Delfi was so friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. She did an exceptional job navigating us through the Prado. Her knowledge of the artists, coupled with historical, religious, and cultural context, helped us have a strong appreciation for the works of art we viewed. I highly recommend this tour and, when we come back, we would definitely hire Delfi again!

See the Art of the Prado Through Many Lenses - Delfi gave us an excellent tour of the Prado! Being an art historian and restorer herself, she’s able to present a unique angle to what you’re seeing. She’s not just taking you from one popular piece of art to another, following the crowds; she’s taking you to lesser known pieces as well and telling you the history of both Spain and the art, as well as how the collection progressed. We got a lesson in history, art, and art history – all while seeing an amazing collection in about half a day. This was a great way - and about the right amount of time – to enjoy the Prado. We both knew a little bit of art history from friends, other tours, and our own interest, but Delfi was able to teach us so much more about the history and what shaped the paintings that we were seeing. We can’t recommend Delfi’s tour enough for art and history lovers. !Muchas gracias, Delfi!
