Hernan brought the Prado Museum to life for us. Of all of the guides we have ever used I would say that Hernan was the top! He is a gracious gentleman and his knowledge of Madrid was magnificent. Please continue to recommend him.

Dear Hernan, Thank you so much for your very gracious and kind services that clearly exceeded both Alex and my expectations on both excursions. We also thank you for your patience with us in explaining my nuances of Spain's culture....although we still know very little, we are now more knowledgable. Thank you so much. We hope many more travelors get a chance to experience your services and I promise to make sure our travel service knows how fabulous your services were.
God Bless.
P.S.If we were in the USA I would have told you the following...."Hernan.....You're a Rock Star"!!!!!!!!!! Adios amigo!!!!!!!! Charles Argianas

Dear Hernan,
Thank you so much for everything; we had a wonderful time! We appreciated your extensive knowledge of art and Spain's history as well as your kindness and flexibility during our tours. The two-hour Prado Museum tour was perfect for our family (after a day of traveling) and Toledo was one of the highlights of our trip...we only wish we had more time there! My mother appreciated the personal attention you gave to her as well.
It was a pleasure meeting you and thanks again for everything...Lori
p.s. We hope to see El Cid, The Swimmer, and other movies you mentioned within the next few weeks...

Walking tour in Madrid
I know this is a very late note as we had our trip to Madrid in July 2007. However, we always think about it and I would like to say it was one of our best walking tours to date.
Hernan A Satt (his email is info@madrid-museum-tours.org) is a funny, knowledgeable and sweet man who showed us around the secret alleys of Madrid. We are a Canadian family of 5 (english speaking) with kids 10,13 and 15. Even my kids were captivated and happy although they had sore feet. They loved the ice cream!!
So if you are thinking of going to Madrid, you must take a walking tour with Hernan as your guide,.. you will be very pleased and happy, not to mention you will love the city even more!

Dear Hernan,
I would like to thank you ever so much for the wonderful experience that my grandmother and I had in Madrid thanks to you. We returned to India a few days ago and have got back to work now. Our memories of the museums, as brought to vivid life by you, are wonderful. We would like to thank you very much for taking the time and the effort to not only show us Madrid, Toledo and Chinchon, but also the simpler things like carrying our shopping, helping us to get our lunch and helping us with our luggage! It was very kind of you.
We consider ourselves very lucky to have met someone who is so knowledgable in art history, and who not only educated us, but also enhanced our own interest in art.
I am attaching a few of my favorite pictures from our time in Madrid. I hope you like them too!
Warm regards from my grand mother and myself,
Princess Shefali!

Dear Hernan:
I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed touring Madrid & Toledo with you . I am doing the writing, but Diane, Sean and Alexis asked me to convey their appreciation and thanks as well. You are a terrific guide, we felt like we really got to see something of Madrid. For me in particular, the "Highlights of the Prado" tour/discussion was particularly meaningful. I love art and seeing some of these great works of art and understanding more about them than I would have with just a guidebook was much more interesting and informative. Las Meninas, in particular, was a painting I had seen pictures of in books and wanted to see in person, but you really provided such in-depth background as to make the painting even more memorable.
The day in Toledo and the late luncheon in Chinchon was also wonderful. Everything was well-paced -we never felt overwhelmed, but we did feel like we got to see and do a lot. I particularly loved Chinchon, by the way. The meal was excellent and there was something about that town that was very appealing to me personally.
You promised an in-depth, more personalized experience with your tours/guidance and you definitely delivered. Walking around Madrid and Toledo with you greatly enhanced our week in Spain - I do hope to get back there again in the future, hopefully with more time.
Again, many thanks from all of us.
Janet

Dear Senor Satt,
Our tour of the Prado with you was an exciting event. Thank you for involving our two grandchildren and all
of us in your presentation. Your excellent involvement of Claire and Anthony made the event very enjoyable for
them and they learned a lot (as did all the rest of us.) Without your help we would not have come away
with such an appreciation of all the paintings we saw.
We went to see Guernica on Sunday with a printed guide and learned a great amount but it was better at the
Prado with you.
Thank you again for giving us such insights into painting by the masters.
Best regards,
Sara and Norman Hughes

Dear Hernan,
I want to thank you for a wonderful tour of the Prado museum. My family talked about it all evening. There are not many people in this world who have the ability to share their knowledge of a subject with such enthusiasm. You made the art and the artists come alive for us.
We had a fabulous meal at La Buganvilla. We just returned a half hour ago. We ate the paella and salads and filet mignon and desserts. The wine was very good, too. We really appreciate that you told us about this secret place.
Warmest regards,
The Bushman Family

Dear Mr. Hernan
Thank you very much for your thrilling and interesting guiding for me and my family
in the Prado museum on Sunday fourteen days ago.
We learnt so much during our stay in the museum and would very much like to come back some day
to see and learn more about the great Spanish painters.
Your guidance made our stay in the museum to something more than just a walk around and your interesting
way of transmitting from an ocean of knowledge gave us so much inspiration.
We hope, by this mail, that you will be able to send us some further information as agreed upon
when we met you.
Kind regards
