5.00This tour was amazing. Our guide was so knowledgeable and she really showed us her favorite and more exciting parts of the museum. Goya's Black Paintings from this trip are my favorite to this day and I'm writing this review 3 years later.
Terrible time

2.00I’ve never left a tour early before this one. First we were told to meet at and start at one time and then no one was there and no one told us anything. Then when someone finally did show up the volume on the microphone headsets was extremely loud and painful to our ears. Once inside our tour guide said she would show us only the most important things but then spent 45 minutes of what was supposed to be 1.5-2 hour tour in 2 rooms. It was painfully slow so we left to do our own thing. We way over paid for the worst experience.
Very Bad experience!!!
