Interesting, friendly and funny! - I this young man, Joaquin Forchino, is passionate about his work and makes us live his passion through his comments. We were three retired sisters and we wanted to take a personalized tour of the museum. Thanks to the clear and precise explanations in the guide, the tables took life and we discovered them differently. Behind it, one could feel the research, his curiosity and his achievements in art history. "Joaquin is excellent, friendly and funny" make an appointment with him to visit the Prado you would not be disappointed!

Superb visit in French - We made this family visit with our 2 teenagers and everyone loved it. The experience was very personalized, the guide was enthusiastic, interesting and adapted to our interests. Honestly, we didn’t know anything about art so without this guide, we would have passed quickly while we really understood the style, history and peculiarity of the paintings. This tour shows us the must-sees of the museum:) I highly recommend it!

Deeper understanding of paintings at the Museo del Prado, - Our guide brought his vast exposure, experience, and knowledge to our guided tour. We were able to explore selected paintings with a depth of understanding a guided audio guide would not provide. I highly recommend this option as a start to exploring Museo del Prado.

Very cool tour for all public - Joaquín did an amazing job at making Prado Museum accessible for my and my gf. He told us where to look, helped us understand the painting much better, and he told us all these cool little stories behind the paintings to help us understand the connections to history and how some influenced the other. Don’t miss it !
