Fantastic tour of the Prado with an expert who gave a historical perspective to that fine art. - Both my partner and I have advanced degrees in art and have taken several art history courses. Our tour guide Sean delivered the highest level of art history experience. He wove art and history together. He picked us up at our hotel and shepherded us seamlessly into the Prado. He was very knowledgable, enthusiastic and interesting. The Prado is a big place but his tour touched on all the highlights. His stories gave a lot of context to those great works of art. A highlight of our visit to Madrid.

Incredible visit to the Prado museum - Excellent all the service provided by Eva. From the punctuality to pick me up at the hotel to all the explanations of each painting we visited in the museum. Great experience and context of each painting, made the 3 hours fly by and almost without me realizing it. Without their support it would not have been possible to cover so much history. It was worth every minute and money invested. Congratulations!!!

Excellent guide for the Prado - Our group had a fantastic experience with our guide Enrique…he was super knowledgeable, charismatic and focused. He provided excellent context for viewing the treasures of the Prado by giving us a background on the development of perspective by Van der Weyden and then symbolism used by Bosch before launching the group into the masters of Italian renaissance and mannerist schools and finally the cream of the crop of brilliant Spanish masters. His discussion of the works of El Greco, Velasquez, Ribera and others was poignant. He covered so much ground and gave us all a more keen appreciation for the development of Spanish art.
