Two museums, no fuss - So glad we booked this! Allowed our jet lagged family of four (including two teens) to skip VERY long lines at both museums and experience the highlights of their large collections with a thorough explanation of the context. Highly recommend. Maria was wonderful!

Knowledgeable guide and a fun day - This was a great tour featuring the highlights of both museums, with in-depth descriptions of what we were viewing. I learned a lot about the different periods and painting methods, and about the history of the artists and of Spain. Maria was articulate and friendly and very knowledgeable, and always willing to answer any questions. Thank you for a great tour!
