Our guide knew an incredible amount of history and was able to tell the stories behind the relationships of the people in a lot of the paintings. It was super interesting.

We had a 4 hour session at the Prado Museum with tour guide Ander. We couldn't jump the ticket line so it was more than hour before we got into the building. Ander managed the tour very well, given that it was his first time ĥe spoke in Spainish and English. He did an excellent job and gave a lot of information and history about the people in the paintings. It was very informative. And we thank him for his huge effort.

Great tour! Easy access to tour guide. A very pleasant experience indeed!
My entire family enjoyed it.

To be in the Prado was emotionally uplifting, but apparently the museum totally ignores basic rules of enjoyment of viewable arts, such as paintings: you could not even get close to any of the meaningful pieces, even though we paid a premium price for our tickets. Very disappointing!

Wonderful tour. Our guide was knowledgeable & enthusiastic. We viewed a selection of paintings covering several eras - that illustrated the development of technique. Really enjoyed this tour

We went in mid-March to miss the crowds. Of course the Prado Museum is very popular and so there were a lot of people even so, even in the "skip the line line." The wait wasn't bad and we had a chance to chat with others in our group as well as the guide, whose English was very good and who had lots of knowledge and details on the art we saw. Actually Kind of mind-blowing. What a great place. It inspires one to learn more about the classic art world.

We came with our two children. Yanny managed to keep them interested the whole time. He is very generous with his comments and makes the visit a lively experience. The tour was amazing. I highly recommend it and I highly recommend our tour guide Yanny.
