This is amazing tour of the highlights of the Prado. - This was an intimate tour of the Prado, allowing a small group of 14 people to enter an hour before opening and then touring the highlights of the art museum. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable. Our guides name was David. When we finished at 10 AM the place was packed, allowing us to appreciate even more the ability to enter and tour in a much more relaxed environment.
