The tour was well designed and paced well. We felt entertained and educated all in one. Our guide Alfonso was knowledgeable and engaging. His passion for art shined and gave us perspective we never would have received on our own. His mom should be proud!

Excellent tour covering the Palace and the Prado with a stop for delicious Churros / Chocolate in between !
Our guide was very informative and friendly .
He covered all the sights of the Palace ( about 2 hours ) with insights and history .
The Prado museum could've covered a little more longer perhaps ( maybe 2 hours instead of 1.5 hours) ......so many paintings to see !!
