This tour is great! - Absolutely wonderful! Our guide, Clara, was the best! Our party of 4 were the only ones on the group tour, so that made it especially nice. She took us to the museum highlights and explained everything so very well. We loved the details she pointed out in many of the paintings that we would have overlooked on our own. Highly recommend this tour of this fabulous museum. After the tour you can stay on your own if would like to. When in Madrid, definitely visit the Prado Museum.

Quality over Quantity Tour - Belin did a great job with our small group tour of the Prado. She selected specific works and went into great detail explaining the significance of the artist, historical / cultural references, painting techniques, etc. It was a quality over quantity approach which allowed us to learn a lot in a relatively short period of time.

Outstandingly knowledgeable guide - a delight to meet Stefi! - Stefi was an excellent guide. She made contact in advance with useful information and led us quickly and efficiently into and through the galleries, despite the crowds and other tour groups. Her choice of works in the Prado created a fascinating narrative arc that illuminated not only the works themselves but also their importance in the history of the collection. Her knowledge and insight made our visit a highlight of our weekend in Madrid and we cannot recommend Stefi too highly.
