Fantastic visit with very knowledgeable guide

Lorena was a fabulous guide for the Prado and Reine Sophia museums. The museums are too large to visit without a guide. We would not have appreciated the significance and progression of the paintings without her.

The amazing Royal Palace! Don’t miss it.

It’s was such a fun tour. It’s a big, lush and elegant palace. It’s worth a visit with a tour guide to understand it’s history.

Prado and Reina Sophia Tour

Clara was our guide, and she was wonderful!! She has such a passion for art and history! I learned more on this tour than anywhere else! There we some very rude people on our tour who thought she should wait when they were 30 minutes late, and they brought a lot of negativity, but Clara handled it with grace and patience. Bravo! I highly recommend a tour with Clara, you will not be disappointed!
