    This tour was great! We started out at the palace and skipped the long lines to get in. Our tour guide was one of the best I've ever had. He was very knowledgeable and kept up moving and engaged in everything we saw. We next went for churros and chocolate. This was great. We also had a choice of beverage and a water to go along with the churros and chocolate. Finally, we ended at the Prado. He took us all over the museum and made sure we saw the highlights of art showcased. He was polite and a great guide. I highly recommend taking this tour.
