We felt rushed at El Prado. The guide was awesome, but we realized we would have preferred a more in depth guide at El Prado. The tour at the place was fine.

David was incredible! Super knowledgable about all things art and the history of Madrid. My sister only have 24 hours in Madrid and knew this tour was a must. This tour & David especially, equipped us with the knowledge to truly appreciate the city! <br /><br />Meeting was easy, speed was efficient but not rushed, and the price was a bargain for the experience you have!
