The tour was during a crowded time (always?) and seemed a little rushed maybe because of the crowd. Guide was knowledgeable and helpful but her Spanish accent was strong making it difficult to follow her. Size of tour was about 30 people which should be the maximum in the Prado. Art works are beautiful and give an idea of how and why Spain declined after 1492 ending with the disaster of the civil war in the 1930's. Spain has been resurrected and is a great destination now.

Straight into the museum and given comfortable earphones to listen easily to the guide. An overview, but a thorough overview, of the most famous artists and paintings in the museum. Plenty of time then to go back and look at those paintings again as well as so many more.

Macarena was a fabulous guide who knew all the artwork very well. She was great at explaining how to view and understand the art and the artists. She was very passionate and enthusiastic and taught me a lot about the art at Prado. Prado Museum is fantastic and definitely worth the visit.
