Worth A Visit

The Prado is definitely worth a visit! Lots of great artwork and accessible to see all of the big pieces in a short amount of time. Fredrico did a nice job explaning the history and some other little-known facts about the artwork and the history.

Hectic logistics- palace stunning.

The tour within the palace was informative, our guide was very knowledgeable and the palace is spectacular. The tour start time changed from 11am to 11.30 and we were not informed. On arrival at the palace we needed to wait for about 30 minutes despite the no ticket premise. Was it worth doing the tour - yes.

Great visit

Our guide was Isobel she was amazing her knowledge of the paintings was outstanding. We had 10 in our group which was just about the right size. The museum is so huge you could spend all day there. Isobel took us to the most important parts to see some amazing pictures. There is a lot of walking and standing not many steps as there are lifts between floors. It was very busy when we were there but I think that is how it always is. Great visit with a great guide
