Irene was awesome. The museum is great and she was so knowledgeable. The walk across town was perfect as it allowed us to get our beating. The palace is worth every step.

We had a great time touring the Prado Museum & Royal Palace! Florín was a fantastic tour guide. He gave everyone a radio & headset, so we could hear him perfectly the whole time. The Prado Museum was so big, & he did a great job of pointing out key pieces and shared so much information about the history of the museum & the works within. We learned a lot about the city itself as we walked from the museum to the palace. The Royal Palace was definitely the highlight of the experience for me. Each room was beautifully decorated, and there was so much history to see. You really cant miss these two amazing sites if youre in Madrid. We were only in the city for 2 days, so this tour was perfect for us.

David did a wonderful job and shared not only his knowledge but his love for his country with us! We toured the Prado and learned about the history behind the art. We took a nice stroll though the center and finished with a tour of the Royal Palace where we learned more about Spain's royal history. It was great and you will enjoy it. ViaTour hires knowledgeable guides like David. They always ad so much to a tour that you would other wise miss. Book it and enjoy. Lance
