Must Do Tour for Art Lovers in Madrid

We had an amazing day seeing both El Prado and Reina Sofia museums with our guide Andrea. We loved doing the tour and learning from someone who is passionate and knowledgeable about the subject - plus funny! You get to see all the highlights of both museums and best of all see how art in Spain progressed and was influenced by the early masters and historical context.

Prado Museum

We had a great experience with Andrea, she was funny, witty and very knowledgeable. This was our second time visiting Prado museum as the first time we did it without a guide and my son want it to come back and do it with a guide and he absolutely loved it!
