Great tour great guide - Amanda was my tour guide for both El Retiro Park and the Prado. As a guide she is expert in bothe the park and the Prado and provides engaging story telling in these two very different venues. I am very glad I booked tours. I had wandered around the Prado a few days earlier which was a good thing to do. On my own I absorbed some of what I was seeing while the tour provides focus on the masterpieces of the Prado.

The phenomenal guide and the great visit - We really enjoyed the visit, and the anecdotes and detailed explanations that our guide Ismael provided us. It was a little short, but we were able to continue on our own afterwards.

Super Guide but audio system à improve - Reuben, the Guide, very didactic and friendly with a great knowledge of art and also history. I liked the system: some pictures (the + representative) are explained for a while (2h30) and then general explanations are given so that tourists who want to go freely where they are interested. The only thing that did NOT convince me was that the majority of Guides (minus mine) wore a microphone and headphones which allowed greater freedom of movement to the tourists and better listening to the explanations of the guide because everyone listened to the information with headphones. The Prado is crowded and there are times when you can hear absolutely nothing no matter how hard the Guide tries to raise his voice.

Not recommended this tour and less with IBE TOURS - Bad experience. When I booked the tour it said it lasted 5 hours: guided tour Retreat Park + Del Prado Museum. Arriving at 10:00 am to the meeting point tells us the guide (with very bad attitude and high-handedness) that it will be 1.5 hours at that time only park of the retreat and the visit to the museum will be until 4:00 pm. We had a reservation to eat just after the 5 hrs that the tour marked so we requested to visit the museum before. There was no way to move the visit to the museum, they would not refund our money and we had to buy other tickets
