The guide was the best. His English was very good and his knowledge of Spanish History was excellent, but most impressive was his guided tour through the Prada Museum and his detailed knowledge of each artist he pointed out and what the details of each painting meant.

This was a quick overview of the various sights in Madrid. The guide was OK - her attitude on that day seemed as if she didn't want to be there. This was a good, quick easy way to see many sites in a couple of hours.

We took this tour having done a self directed visit two years ago. Although only 90 minutes the tour hit many key masterpieces. Isabella gave us a special tour.

The tour by bus was as promised giving a good orientation of Madrid but the Prado tour with the guide Carmen was outstanding We learned more in the 2 hours than a college art appreciation class of many years ago
