Madrid Museums

Gaby was a great guide providing a lot of detail regarding the history of Spain and about the museums. If you visit both museums be prepared to be standing a lot. The total tour takes 5 hours. Not much time to grab something to eat either.

Not to be missed.

The Prado was incredible! I don’t normally enjoy this type of art or so much religious iconography very much, but Anna Christina provided so much context and history that the two hours FLEW by. We had a similar experience with our guide at the Reina Sofia. (Sadly, I didn’t get her name.) They knew SO much and did such a wonderful job telling the stories of Picasso and Dali that it made everything even more interesting.
