In the course of 2.5 hours with Ana M., we felt our brains expanding with all the knowledge of Spanish art that we were acquiring, along with the historical context in which that art was made. Great combination of accessibility and depth — truly worth every penny.

Our experience through the Prado museum was incredible. Angel our guide explained in detail the fine artworks. His expertise gave us a better appreciation of the artists and magnificent artworks, as well as interesting historical facts. We went to the museum with little art knowledge and came out learning so much. We can say we have been inspired! Would highly recommend this tour. Definitely request Angel, he is knowledgeable and has a passion for the arts. Angel, thank you for the journey. Edna and John Acquavella

We have visited many museams but this was the best experience we have had. Jamie was incredibly knowledgable and engaging which made for an excelent experience. Unlike most museam tours we were able to have front row views of all the great art housed at the Prado Museum. Thanks Jamie!!
