“David was an excellent tour guide. He was an art expert and helped us to see and appreciate in depth about a dozen masterpieces. He was intentional about the art he selected to talk about and it was a cohesive and organized tour through Prado on a VERY busy Saturday! A guest on the tour needed an elevator not the stairs, and David managed this with ease. My 13:00 tour was canceled for some reason and the tour company quickly booked us for the same day 14:00 tour, great communication!”

“Great tour company and guide Frederico was fantastic! I was the only person to book the time slot and instead of them cancelling, they offered me a one-on-one tour for no extra cost! Frederico was incredibly knowledgeable, patient with my questions, and beloved by every staff member we saw at the Palace! I would definitely recommend this tour agency. The Palace is beautiful, full of history, easy to navigate, and was not busy in January!”

“Unfortunately, we made a mistake and booked the wrong date for our tour. While the tour guide tried to help us, he had a full tour and the one afterwards was full too. We contacted the customer service, as we had a flight to catch in the afternoon and therefore we would not be able to go the next day. However, they could not get us into a tour, they were not able to refund us and they would not offer any credit towards a future tour! I lost 152€! In the end, we had to wait in line and buy an audio guide tour, so we paid another €100+euros.…”

“This was a wonderful experience. Our guide (can’t remember her name but she was a tall pretty woman with long very dark hair) was so knowledgeable. She obviously had a fabulous education. She had so many great stories about the palace, its history and its inhabitants. She was funny and fun. Her knowledge of art history during the Prado visit was awesome. A great guide gives you context to what you are seeing. She was also very caring and really helped a couple of elderly ladies in the group. Did I mention the walk through the city from one place to the next? That was wonderful too. It’s a tour…”

All three groups talked to your people without ANY resolution! I demand a FULL refund, or I will go through AMEX to get a refund. Not only did you waste a full afternoon, it screwed up our schedule for our 4days in Madrid. Vernon”
