Prado Museum Guided Tour and Optional Reina Sofia
Description
Discover the "Paisaje de la Luz," one of the most surprising and wonderful areas of Madrid, encompassing the surroundings of Paseo del Prado and El Retiro Park, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021. In this area, you'll find a collection of monuments, artworks, gardens, and unique landscapes that have formed a beautiful symbiosis between urban and natural elements since the 16th century, when the entire area was known as the Prado de los Jerónimos. This tour includes guided visits to two of the most important museums in the country: The Prado Museum and the Reina Sofía Museum. Here, you'll discover renowned artists such as Goya, Velázquez, El Bosco, and Picasso's "Guernica" at the Reina Sofía Museum. We particularly highlight Picasso's Guernica, an icon of the 20th century and a masterpiece that is awe-inspiring due to its size and spectacular nature. It becomes even more impressive when you uncover its symbolism and hidden details

Great way to zip to the key parts of the museum’s collection with enough description of the artworks to give you background about the artists and their time periods. We would have had to spend much more time wandering on our own to see all that our guide showed us in just 2 hours
Dear customer, Thank you for your kind words! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and that it helped you make the most of your time at the museum. It's great to hear our guide made the artworks and their context come alive. We hope to welcome you again on another cultural adventure! Best regards, The Experience Paseo Team

We had the most wonderful highlights tour of the Prado with Ana Christina. My 17 year old son loved it just as much as I did. Ana brought the paintings to life for us, deftly explained the historical significance of the paintings, the painting techniques, and the details that we would have otherwise missed. It was like having another family member with us. Highly recommend a private tour with Ana Christina!
Dear customer, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are so happy to hear that both you and your son enjoyed the highlights tour of the Prado with Ana Christina. Her ability to bring the paintings to life and provide insightful details truly enhances the experience. We’re grateful for your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon. Sincerely, De Paseo Experience Team.
Our guide was brief but very detailed. The tour covered the most important arts of the museum and learned quite a bit of their origins
We had an amazing and intimate tour of both the Prado and the Reina Sofia museums with our wonderful guide Aurora Ferrari. Aurora is a graduate student of Spanish art history and her knowledge was phenomenal. She showed us the most important pieces in both museums and helped us to understand the history of not only the paintings, but the country of Spain itself. I went to the Prado over 10 years ago by myself and was overwhelmed. This tour made the museum accessible and so much more enjoyable. The photos I posted from the Reina Sofia are some of my favorites. I had no idea what a gem this important museum is. Everyone should see it! Thank you, Aurora, you were amazing!!!
My guide, Ana Christina, was very knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. We had a long tour and she was sensitive to the needs of individuals as well as the whole group. She asked what we most wanted to see and made sure that those items were covered in detail.
Ophelia was a fantastic tour guide. She answered everyone of our questions as she guided us through the proto and reina Sofia. She took us to the most important art and explained the impact of select pieces in this immense collection. She was well trained in the arts and spoke English very well. We would have been lost with out her
Ana Cristina was a wonderful guide for our prado museum visit. We learned a lot and were entertained the whole time
In a short 90 minutes, we were guided through the highlights of the museum by our guide, who was excellent and extremely knowledgeable. His interpretation and discussion of each piece was very interesting.
Prado is a very good place to visit. I personally liked a lot Rafael, but I do have a childhood memory of it. The guide was ok. English can be a little improved so I do recommend her more for Spanish tours.
Thank you very much for your review. Our guides always try to do their best to provide an experience of the highest quality.
