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!
