Amazing tour, worth it - David was an amazing tour guide who not only provided important context to the paintings as we saw them, but constructed a narrative as we walked through the museum. He picked out several of the most important artists and took us through the museum as he constructed the narrative, chronologically, from one artist to the next. Specifically the information he provided on Goya was incredible and changed my perspective on the man. Incredible tour.

Excellent personalized tour of the Prado. - Our family loved our tour of the Prado Museum with David. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. He added a few paintings at our request and delivered an ad hoc talk on the spot. We peppered him with tough questions and he was completely up to the task. Would be happy to have him guide us around other cultural sites. Highly recommended.

His knowledge of the museum and highlighting the top pieces as well as walking us through the artists and subject matters that influenced these masterpieces was incredible! He knew the museum like the back of his hand and we were able to see everything we wanted and more!!! I highly recommend José as your guide. And he’s funny!

Masterful tour of the Spanish masters - In the course of 2.5 hours with Ana M., we felt our brains expanding with all the knowledge of Spanish art that we were acquiring, along with the historical context in which that art was made. Great combination of accessibility and depth — truly worth every penny.

Incredible! - Our experience through the Prado museum was incredible. Angel our guide explained in detail the fine artworks. His expertise gave us a better appreciation of the artists and magnificent artworks, as well as interesting historical facts. We went to the museum with little art knowledge and came out learning so much. We can say we have been inspired! Would highly recommend this tour. Definitely request Angel, he is knowledgeable and has a passion for the arts. Angel, thank you for the journey. Edna and John Acquavella

History through art - Our tour guide David did an amazing job of teaching us the history of Spain thru the art at the Prado. He focused on the key works of art in the museum and educated on the art techniques as well as the history behind the pieces themselves.
