Itinerary
For two hours, you cross the history of Spain as you go up a thousand-year-old river, from prehistory to medieval times. Your Guide leads you through bright rooms where each object tells a human epic made of conquests, beliefs and creativity. The tour revolves around the major pieces of the museum, including Visigothic treasures, Roman mosaics and the remains of Al-Andalus. Rather than just a parade of objects, the Guide links each work to its political, religious and artistic context to help you understand how Spain has shaped itself over the centuries. At your own pace, you explore ancient weapons, fine jewelry, monumental sculptures and precious manuscripts, with vivid anecdotes that give flesh to extinct civilizations. Between wonder and discovery, you leave with a clear and captivating vision of the Spanish past.

Leticia was a great guide. Fun and informative! She spent extra time with us explaining the history and answering our questions.
Hello Liana, thank you for your review of your private tour of Madrid's archaeological museum. We are delighted to know that you had a great time, and thank you for choosing Madrid Discovery for your stay in Spain.
If I could rate a 0, I would. We purchased these tickets a month in advance and when we got to the museum it was closed. No one could tell us why, just turned away for the museum. Very disappointing that Viator does not stay on top of these things before selling you tickets that costs $300.

Le musée d'archéologie est un très beau musée, il est agréable de le visiter avec un guide. Nous vous remercions pour votre message. Nous espérons vous voir bientôt pour une visite privée du musée du Prado ou du Palais Royal de Madrid. Profitez bien de votre séjour à Madrid. L'équipe de Madrid Discovery
For those who do not miss the opportunity to know more about history this museum is a full plate. It is possible to do the tour without a guide, but surely the guide is a much more immersive experience. The museum has volumes to guard so you can make the tour more at will. Between pieces of clothing, personal items, weapons and recreation of spaces it is possible to transport in time. The lighting and intense disposition is very careful. Beautiful mosaics and also a gallery of amazing sculptures. The museum is large and has 3 levels. Go well disposed and with comfortable calcades. I loved!
