We got so much more out of our time at the Prado Museum and Royal Palace than if we had just bought tickets and gone on our own. Our guide, Carmen (I think), was incredible with explaining the art history and evolution which gave us a much better understanding of the pieces and why they are significant. For the walk between the Prado and Royal Palace, she gave us restaurant tips, and other helpful information. We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. We took a detailed tour inside the beautiful El Prado museum and covered the highlights of the pieces for a few hours. We then walked to the Palace and toured inside. It was beautiful! It's a nice way to highlight two of the famous landmarks of Madrid.
