Traveler reviews
Terrible -- poor customer service after tour guide canceled
I want to preface this review by saying our substitute tour guide for Reina Sofia, Ana Cristina, was excellent. She stepped in at a moment's notice because our scheduled tour guide canceled at the very last minute due to illness. We didn't have a guide for the Prado Museum portion of the tour. While we were able to enter the Prado Museum, we didn't have the benefit of an English-speaking guide and had to rent audioguides. I get it, it happens. But this can't be the first time this has happened. There should be a more customer-friendly protocol in place; instead, we were left to fend for ourselves and with very little info on what to do next. The refund process was clunky--Why do I need to apply for a refund? Should be automatic, with proper communication and explanation.
Day at Art Museum
Really great tour of museums Prado and Reina Sofia. The guide Laura was pleasant, very informative, well paced and unique . Highly recommend this tour experience.
An animated guide with a passion for art and history makes all the difference!
JJ was absolutely fantastic! He was passionate and energetic and brought not only the paintings to life but the history and status of the art world as well. Our time in the Prado flew by and yet we learned so much! It is rare that an art museum guide has so much energy, and JJ’s energy was contagious. We saw many tours pass us by, and many of their customers stopped to listen to JJ, abandoning their own headsets to be able to lean in a bit closer to hear from JJ. We walked away curious to learn more about art and Spain’s history. A fantastic tour!!
Extremely knowledgeable and passionate guide for a 5 hour tour through art history.
Costas was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about art. He made the relics come alive with his stories, we enjoyed it very much. It went on a couple of hours longer than we had expected, but Costas maintained the same energy level and enthusiasm throughout the day. Be prepared for a full 5 hours to tour both the Prado and the Reina Sofia.
Very surprised
Very pleasant and we have learned many things that we did not have knowledge of. Everything very interesting
