"Majo brought Madrid and Spain’s history vividly to life through the stories behind each work at the Prado. This was nothing like a typical museum visit where you simply look at paintings—it felt more like stepping into a film that revealed both the triumphs and struggles of Spanish history. She was also wonderfully accommodating, tailoring the tour to our special requests and offering excellent recommendations for further sightseeing. I’ll definitely look forward to another tour with Majo the next time I’m in Madrid!"

A true Art fan.
"You can be knowledgeable but lack passion or you can be passionate about art but still be uneducated. Majo in addition to her bright and joyful personality is extremely passionate about art ( can still have hair raising emotions with Las Meninas) and very knowledgeable about the history of art , techniques used and personal stories of painters and subjects. If you are a fan of painting you will find a joyful fellow fan in Majo.

"My husband and I love learning about history, human migration, food culture, and modern facts about cities, so Julian was the perfect guide for us. I enjoyed absorbing all the detailed information he shared, from architecture to cuisine. The tour is very informative and might be a lot for children, but we found it fascinating. Even though we have visited Madrid twice before, Julian showed us places we would never have discovered on our own. If you want a true local perspective, Julian is the guide to choose."
"When we were in the Prado, very often other people would stop and stand nearby to listen to Victor intrigued, or sometimes laughing at his humor. He is passionate about history, and art and life and people. And he’s very good at sharing his knowledge with others.
If you want a guide Who really knows history and art of Spain, beyond just every day tourist spiels, someone who is engaging and friendly, gregarious and makes it fun , then Victor is your guide."
"When I booked our tour for the Prado, I selected our guide, Laura, based on the fact that she was an art history major. I wanted someone who could really delve into the artists and their art, not just “look at the pretty picture”. Laura did NOT disappoint!!! She brought the museum and its many pieces of art to life. She told us about the artists and the time & history of when they painted, as well as the story behind the picture. What an amazing afternoon! "
"We were delighted with our guide Julian.
He was very friendly and knowledgeable about food and wine but also on the history of Spain and Madrid.
We would definitely recommend Julian for any future stores"

Fantastic way to experience rhe Prado
"Iker was an excellent guide to the Prado. We followed a “chronological” tour learning the development of art and styles through the ages; where one artist built upon learnings and styles from another.
Would recommend this tour and Iker 110%. "
