3 kiddos (12,10,8) and 2 adults....all enthralled! - Monroe was incredible. Family of 5 with 3 kids (12,10,8) and Monroe was able to keep all of us engaged and entertained. The time flew by, and we left wanting to book another tour with him! We had spent a few weeks in Europe and had done multiple tours, and all voted that this was the best due to Monroe's knowledge and entwining of history with each piece. There is no doubt that that Monroe could have easily gone as deep as we wanted, so if you are looking for a more in-depth tour or want to focus on specific pieces, Monroe can easily accommodate.

Best museum tour I’ve ever had - Monroe is hands down the best guide I've ever had. His knowledge and enthusiasm made the experience unforgettable. If he were my professor in university, I’d probably switch from engineering to art!

Thank you Monroe! - Monroe doesn’t do the typical “check the boxes” tour. He is very selective, has extensive knowledge and does a deep dive on what he shows you. Plus he makes it fun! We will remember what we saw and what we learned.

Way better than an audio tour - Our tour guide, Monroe, was the best part of my tour. He was passionate and extremely insightful regarding the artists and the art. He should be an art history professor as his enthusiasm is engaging. I particularly liked learning more about Goya.

Amazing tour with Monroe! If you need to do your tour in English, he is the guy!!! - Monroe was amazing! This is not my first trip to El Prado, but it was my husband and daughter’s first trip. Monroe was a wealth of knowledge, kept a 12 year old interested and engaged for the whole of the tour. He answered every question and was kind and patient. We loved the experience of touring the museum with him. He is smart and funny; and you can tell he loves what he does!

Valuable and Enjoyable. You will NOT be disappointed. - it's one thing to stand in front of art, gaze and appreciate talent. But it is more than wonderful to have the back story, the time in history, the art technique and the artist come alive. Monroe is dutifully schooled in art history but more than that his is personable, warm and invites engagement. I began this tour at ground-zero of knowledge and learned so much. I could not have been more pleased with Monroe. He is excellent.
