See Velázquez, Goya, El Bosco, and Caravaggio with an English or Spanish guide and skip-the-line entry at Madrid’s Prado Museum.
“The guide knew his stuff and was very forthcoming with information, however, much time was spent in the security queue which was surprising. No fault of the guide who apologised profusely about the system in place and even added on time at the end of the tour to make up for lost time. After the tour, we were able to continue viewing the exhibits on our own. The Prado itself was extremely interesting and I'm happy I didn't miss it.”
See Girona’s medieval quarter, Dalí’s surreal museum, and the whitewashed coast of Cadaqués on an 11-hour Barcelona day trip.
“Wonderful experience. Everything very well organized. Guided tour in Girona, seeing the cathedral from outside and the guide explanation with history and legends, talking through the medieval streets, stopping at Jewish museum, and giving us free time, we used to visit the Arab baths. Then Figueres with Dali museum, his sculptures on the plaza. The free time we visited the church and walked the old streets. Matilde, the guide, was excellent, giving us insights on the local history and folklore. Cadaqués, the last stop, was so different and beauty, with white houses, the cathedral, the narrow streets, and the view of the bay.”
See Madrid’s Museum of Illusions for optical tricks, photo-friendly exhibits, and brain-bending fun in about an hour.
“It was good, worth the visit and decent value for money, you will go round it in under an hour and not enough for anywhere near the 2 hours advertised.”
See Prado highlights with a lively English or Spanish guide, headphones, and fast access, while keeping time to explore Madrid’s great art museum.
“The best experience I had during my whole trip in Madrid. Had the pleasure of having Rubén as my guide, he was the most friendly tour guide/person overall I’ve met in the city. He is incredibly knowledgable, energetic and humorous, and genuinely made the history behind each painting come alive through his fascinating anecdotes and lively delivery. The museum has some great historical paintings. I’ve had plenty of great tour experiences on vacation here with awesome tour guides, but genuinely Rubén is on another level. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour with him, it will be the highlight of your entire trip.”
Pick the kind of day first, then the place.
