Living Life

My husband and I had a private tour. Our tour guide is Sarah who was very knowledgeable, friendly, and just so informative along the ways while walking through our destinations. We learned so much from Sarah. If taking this tour, hopefully Sarah will be your guide. We enjoyed the tour.

Couldn't be better.

Excellent tour to visit the Royal Palace and the Prado Museum. Maria, our guide, has an exceptional knowledge of the palace and all the works of art contained in both places. It was truly pleasant to have had Maria on this tour.

Excellent tour of Prada & Royal Palace with Arantxa

Our guide was Arantxa - she was extremely knowledgeable, from art to history to culture to even trivia. On top of that she was a ball of energy that knew how to get us through crowds, lines, exactly where to go to see the best items and the best views.

Musts sees in Madrid

We were given an in depth tour of the Prado Museum, the Palace and walking tour of Madrid. Our guide, Sara, was so knowledgeable about Spanish history and art. We feel that our experience was so much more memorable due to her expertise and willingness to go the extra step in giving us an unique view of the incredible art and beauty of the city.
