Dino knows a lot about the art history and the history of the area around the Prado museum and shares it in an engaging way. Skipping the entry line was almost worth the price of the ticket--it was long! I recommend the early arrival. The Prado is a BIG museum. The tour takes you to some of its highlights and gets you oriented--you can better explore the museum on your own. I recommend the tour.

Our tour guide, Martha, was an art student and we had so much fun walking around the museum with her discussing the art, the arts place in history, and the stories of the artist’s lives. This was hands down the best tour we did in Madrid. We saw 3/4ths of the museum but it didn’t feel rushed. She did a great job pacing our trip.
