Excellent museum highlights!

Published on Oct, 2024

Mariluz was a knowledgeable guide in both the Prado and Reina Sofia. We were able to dodge the crowds while still seeing the highlights in both museums. Our daughter, who loves art and mythology, had a wonderful time sharing stories and experiences.

Fantastic day at the Prado

Published on Nov, 2023

Maryluz was FANTASTIC. Excellent knowledge of both art and the history behind it. Plus an enjoyable person to spend the day with. She keyed in on my interests and really made the day at the Prado memorable.
