Nos la pasamos muy bien, muy amena la caminata, explicaciones claras, se siente muy privado ya que los grupos son muy pequeños

The Prado & the Royal Palace are not to be missed in Madrid. Our tour guide David wove in all the history to make this tour come alive. He shared so many facts that I did not know. You may think 1 1/2 hours are not enough in the Prado. David focused on the 3 most famous Spanish painters & linked their stories through history & their art. The Royal Palace is just speculated. Thank you for wonderful memories of Madrid.

Gonzalo was very professional and gave extremely thorough to the point explanations. He made it enjoyable by not over explaining anything and only highlighting important concepts.

David was very informative and amazing. Great opportunity to see the sights of Spain and get to know the history. Would do it again
Tripadvisor customer · Sophia · Jul 18, 2025 Excellent
This tour was definitely worth it, given our short time in this beautiful city. Irene was an excellent guide, especially her history is Spain in 5 minutes.
Word of caution - be on time! We were a little liberal with our time, waiting for Starbucks and we almost got left behind.
