“This is a very unique tour. A visit to the Prado Museum followed by lunch at Botin, the oldest restaurant in the world. Reservations to this restaurant have to be made months in advance. This tour by-passes that problem. Plus you get a short tour of the restaurant before it opens.The suckling pig was delicious. Our guide for the day, Alfonso, was one of the best guides we have ever had. This tour is qorth the money in my opinion.”
