Disorganization for the entrance of the visitation. The visit has been scheduled for 1:00 pm and admission will be cleared at 2:30 pm. The queues of the disorganized schedules of the professionals responsible for the museum did not correctly indicate the queue. Long waiting time to enter the palace

Very good guide who adapted well to a diverse group of 11. The Prado is enormous. We would have been lost and wandering around in a cloud without a guide. Got to see many of the highlights.
