Ticketing was easy. Guide was well informed. Please teach people how to adjust volume on the headsets before starting the event. I missed much of what was said because the guide did not help me when I asked him to increase his audio output volume because I couldn't hear him.

It took longer to get the Skip the Line tickets than I was expecting. Those queuing in the other lines actually got in before we did because the assistant to our guide took ages to get our tickets. Otherwise the guide was very nice and knowledgeable

It was nice to hear more background information on several important works of art. The guide did a very good job. It is unfortunate that you are walking with such a large group in an already crowded museum but after the tour you have plenty of time to walk around on your own.

Tour guide was fantastic. She gave us the history of some iconic paintings and others which gave us great perspective. if not for our guide, the museum would have been overwhelming and we would not have learned nearly as much. Thank you!

Our Guide (Blanca) was really knowledgeable and gave us an insight to a selective number of paintings. Without this we would have just looked at them and moved on without really understanding the background and the art. It has changed the way we approach our visits to such venues and would look to book a personal guide again rather than just access to the building

Our guide David was super knowledgeable, friendly and enthusiastic. He seemed to navigate the crowds very well - though we were just a small group. Things got off to a bad start as we did not know how to identify our guide or group! There were four or five people in jackets sitting around with "Fun" on them, but they made no effort to engage with us.

Our guide, Blanca, was absolutely fantastic. She brought the masterpieces to life with her engaging and interactive explanations. Thanks to her lively storytelling, even my 7-year-old son was fully captivated throughout the entire 1.5-hour tour—he didn’t complain once! Time flew by, and we all came away with a deeper appreciation for the art. Thank you, Blanca, for making the experience so memorable!

I have booked and paid for 6 people for the palace and museum tour. However when we reached the Naturanda office at the appointed time, we were told only 1 person was booked by mistake. Consequently our tour was cancelled and full refund was promised. I hope you will look into this and refund my money back ASAP. We ended up lining for the palace entry tickets for 45 minutes to visit the palace and missed the Prado Museum altogether !! It was such a disappointing experience. I think you owe us an apology and full explanation beside a full refund. I am looking forward to hearing your reply.

I preferred the visit to the Prado Museum because it was set up differently albeit by the same guide. It was also richer in information about the historical and cultural background of the time when the works were created. The first part at the Reina Sofia museum, I found the museum's reception of the group poorly organized, with lots of downtime. The guide in presenting the works gave so much space for open-ended questions to the group about the feelings the paintings conveyed that I found it scattershot. The guide's knowledge of the works was impeccable.
