Prado Tour - We had a great experience at Prado. Pablo was the best guide we have ever had. He was very knowledgeable and was able share info about interpretations of the art, appreciating evolution of painting and guiding us to special pieces it would be hard to appreciate without Pablo’s insights.

Excellent small group tour - Excellent small group tour. Pablo our guide was fantastic and taught us so much about art and the perspectives of many of the key pieces of art at the Prado. His headsets let us hear him perfectly and the small group was ideal to moving around the museum. Highly recommend this tour.

Seeing art through new eyes - Pablo was simply amazing and I cannot thank him enough for sharing his knowledge and perspectives with us. He taught us new ways to see and appreciate art. Our visit to the Prado (and all future art museums) would not be the same without him!

The best ever - Pablo provided the best tour experience in the last 10 years. He was informative, interesting, emotional and humourous. It was like attending a Ted talk on how to visually understand how to read a painting.. The best experience ever. Highly recommended.

A Special and Worthwhile Tour - I've been on Pablo's tour twice now between separate trips to Madrid - it is *that* good and worth every penny. His knowledge is extensive, and he has carefully curated a tour that will leave you with a deep appreciation for the Prado and the works within it. If you do one tour in Madrid, make it this one - you will not be disappointed.

Semi-private tour of the Prado - This was an excellent way to see the Prado. I had been there before and wandered on my own which is also enjoyable but Pablo taught me a lot about the paintings (and art in general) which I would not have figured out on my own. He is a very knowledgeable guide and very open to questions. The small group size is also essential - you couldn’t learn nearly as much in a big group.

Wonderful and informative tour - Pablo led us through the most important works in the Prado, starting with the Flemish Renaissance artists and working through to Las Meninas. By pointing out different innovations in painting over time, he let us truly appreciate the incredible mastery of Velasquez in this work and why so many painters who came after were influenced by it. We then skipped forward to Goya, seeing some of his key works including the Dark Paintings. Pablo also shared with us his approach of a kind of art therapy, using feelings we have about paintings to understand our own emotions. Highly recommended!
