5.00Jaime Sanchez is a very cordial guide with a deep knowledge of art. We went to The Prado museum with him and he made this experience ever so much more worthwhile than if we had gone to the museum solo. His selection of paintings at The Prado was especially well curated. In sum, if you are going to The Prado in Madrid, your visit will be immeasurably enhanced by having Jaime as your guide.
Splendid survey of the Prado

5.00Jaime is a wonderful, engaging, and effective presenter of the sweep of historical Spanish painting contained within the Prado Museum. He has carefully selected examples from the dizzying collection of European art from Gothic through 19th Century. My wife and I heartily enjoyed the experience.
Fantastic tour!

5.00The Prado is such an amazing museum and the collection is beyond extraordinary... that being said I cannot imagine trying to navigate that impressive and large collection without an expert to help guide you through the important pieces... otherwise you would get overwhelmed in the first hour. Jaime was simply amazing and his passion for the artwork is not only obvious, it is contagious. He was so helpful in explaining why certain pieces of art were considered important and was able to place them in a context to flow from one era to the next. Looking at the art through his eyes and with his explanations was so powerful that I stayed after the tour and actually went back to the pieces he discussed to impress on my memory everything he mentioned.
Perfectly choreographed

5.00I went to the Prado because I knew I should but Jaime's tour has made me want to come back. The Prado is large and overwhelming but by selecting his favorite pieces thru the centuries to share with us his passion was infectious. He's knowledgeable and engaging. The hours flew by and I was actually sad when it was over. Do not hesitate to book this tour. Jaime is the perfect guide!
Excepetional guide with great knowledge!
