We had the visit in French with Rebecca who made us discover the barrio de las letras that I did not know. Very enriching cultural visit with Lope de Vega, Cervantes... Transit through Santa Anna Square and we arrived at Puerta del Sol at the time of the Holy Week procession

Guide was 10 mins late then we diverted to join up with another group starting outside the Palace where we had to wait for others to arrive. From him arriving eventually to us being left outside the Prado was only 60mins including the wait outside the Palace for others. He was certainly quite informative when we were eventually walking and I suspect he was dealing with logistics outside his control.

a bit disorganised at the beginning as some people didn't show up so the guide needs to joint two groups but she was very good and very pleasant .I would highly recommend
