Lola was phenomenal. The tour was punctual, a good amount of time, extremely informative and enjoyable. Lola was so passioniate about Madrid, Spain and art!! Seeing the Prado and going to the specific hilights and learning about the paintings and the history was incredible.. She made it so fun. She coralled the group properly and kept the group on task. Her knowledge was amazing about the city, history and art and was happy to share suggestions and answer any questions. Highly recommend!!!

Early entrance to the Prada is worth EVERY penny!!! Bite the bullet and do it! Best money spent. We were able to enjoy the art without any crowds. Irenes explanations of the different pieces was incredible! I learned so much!!! I am not art educated and she helped me to see the masterpieces in a whole new light. INCREDIBLE! Do this tour! We included it with a skip the line tour of the palace. Again Irenes narration enhanced the experience. My only complaint is the tour description includes a historic city center tour and we received very little narration or historical information of the sights we saw between the Prada and the Palace. Basically she just guided us from the Prada to the palace with a coffee stop halfway. I wanted the full city tour as well.
