Our group was small.Publicado en Tripadvisor Paddy0lady15/05/2026Verificada Art history lesson Maria provided amazing insight into select paintings. We very much enjoyed her approach and we learned a lot!Publicado en Tripadvisor 737WingMan14/05/2026Verificada Phenomenal guide with a good sense of humor. Our guide Maria was terrific. She was well organized and with everyone showing up on time we were able to start a little early. The young lady really knows her stuff. She was well versed on the Spanish history, the artists and the painting techniques they used. There were a couple paintings she shared that really demonstrated the breakthrough technique of perspective that was developed in the later years of the Renaissance. She handled the group well, kept us together and engaged, and demonstrated her extensive knowledge as well as a good sense of humor.Publicado en Tripadvisor WJC45912/05/2026Verificada Great guide with some interesting insights into the styles and history of the paintings and the background to the Prado.
