Spain’s most important gallery and one of the first of the world. An interesting tour, in a relaxed tone, which will allow you to maintain concentration with ease and which will be fun. At the same time you receive accurate information, historically correct from the tour guides, who are in the majority historians and historians of art. Starting from your hotel, the guide will accompany you to the gallery, giving you some history on the streets you walk down, the history of the city or the history of the Museo del Prado.

A great and very friendly experience with my guide. He really was passionate and knowledgeable about all of the art and I can't recommend this tour enough. You get a tremendous value vs just going to the Prado alone.
It was the best Prado tour. The guide was wonderful and a great listener, He guided the tour to meet our expectations which he had asked us if we had any specific questions or desires as far as what we wanted to see. He was patient and caring. He made our day.
Jaime is absolutely outstanding! Incredibly kind and extremely knowledgeable!! However many stars in the rating, he’s full stars!
Had the best experience at an art museum - our guide Jamie explained everything happening in some of the greatest paintings that I never would have understood without him! This is the way to do a museum!!!
Carlos was spectacular!!! He was friendly and very passionate about the art work in the Prado. He is a native of Madrid and had great insight into the history of Spain, the artists and their subjects in the time frame the paintings were done which enhanced the tour. He was very willing to show us what we wanted to see and engage in a discussion about the paintings. His knowledge of art was extensive.
We had a tour guide Enrique - he was great! Prado museum was on my list of places to visit, and it was worth every minute. Enrique was very friendly, knowledgeable about art and showed us the must see art pieces. One of the best art museums I’ve been to.
Great tour with Guido. He was incredibly knowledgeable and provided great insight. It was my second trip and my adult son’s first. He made it enjoyable for both of us
Signed up for this guided tour of the Prado, our guide José was honestly incredible. We're still talking about it 5+ days later, it was the best museum tour we've ever had. Not just his deep knowledge of the religious and political history behind centuries of art, but his genuine passion to share it just totally swept us away. Next time we're in Madrid we hope to see more museums through his lens. Thanks again, José!
We had a great tour with Almudena, who was a passionate and incredibly knowledgeable guide to the Prado. She engaged our entire group and we came away with great stories from the history that surrounded us in art. Thank you so much!!!
Touring the Prado with Laura was an unforgettable experience. Her insight and knowledge about the artwork, history, and movements added a dimension to the museum that made our visit one that we are still talking about long after it ended. 10/10
