Perfect tour for first us timers.

Miguel was absolutely amazing! I can't say enough about him. He is both very knowledgeable and passionate about art and Spain! His passion clearly shows in his character. While one could easily fill months studying the Prado Museum and Royal Palace, Miguel was able to give a LOT of detail in our short 5hr tour with him. It was perfect fo our first time in Madrid. Many thanks Miguel!

Excellent Guide for Prado Museum and Royal Palace

Our guide Eva is probably the most experienced and well versed tour guide we have ever met. She was able to provide in-depth details regarding many historical events, art, Spain's royal family, etc., in an amazing concise way that left us speechless. We were able to enjoy afternoon coffee with her and she's truly an amazing young lady that should be commended for providing such an experience to your customers. I would recommend her to anyone visiting the museum or royal palace. Please pass along our sincere thanks to Eva!!!
