Irina was very good at explaining the paintings, sculptures, and stories behind them. She made it very interesting and fun for us, even jetlagged and for kids who were not very interested in art. It was super easy to meet up with her, and since we were a guided group, we got to skip the lines. Irina also guided us through the Palacio ReaI. The architecture was really wonderful, and the kids thought it was crazy how it has 3,400 rooms, and 500 maids! We would definitely do this again!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you and your family enjoyed both the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace tours with Irina. One of our greatest goals is to make art, history, and culture engaging for everyone — especially children and travelers who may be a little tired after a long journey! 😊 We are particularly happy to know that the stories behind the paintings, sculptures, and royal history helped bring the sites to life for your family. The Royal Palace certainly leaves a lasting impression, especially when children discover just how many rooms it has! Thank you for your kind words about Irina and for choosing Madrid Museum Tours. It was a pleasure to welcome your family to Madrid, and we would be delighted to guide you again on your next visit. Warm regards,
We had an incredible tour with Irina K through Madrid Museum Tours! With only one day and the immenseness of the Prado, it was wonderful to have Irina show us the highlights. Irina was professional, informative and so nice to tour with. Her interactive style truly kept our attention and helped us to see unique aspects of the various works of art in a great way. We’ve had several art museum tours and this was one of the best! Many thanks to Irina and Madrid Museum Tours!

In a few hours she navigated through the highlights of the museum providing very interesting and informative commentary and historical perspective.

Our guide, Hernan Satt, was very knowledgeable and engaging, managing to tailor the tour to the varied interests of the four of us. Deeply informed about both the art itself and the history behind the pieces, he made the collection come alive. Highly recommended! We will seek him out when we visit again...

Irina was an excellent guide. We did not have a lot of time left in the city, but Irina helped educate and guide us to some key works, while ensuring our wheelchair driven elderly family member could access everything in the Prado.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. We are delighted to hear that Irina provided such an excellent experience, especially given your limited time in the city. Ensuring that everyone—particularly wheelchair users and elderly family members—can comfortably enjoy the Prado Museum is very important to us. Thank you for trusting us with your visit. We truly hope to welcome you back to Madrid in the future for another enriching experience. Warmest regards,
The best private art museum tour I have done globally simply due to the caliber of our guide. Hernan. I have been to the Prado several times but wanted to do an in depth private tour to introduce the museum to my kids (10 and 12 yrs old). Our guide Hernan was simply incredible; keeping the kids engaged and the adults discovering too! We all learnt so much and had a great time while doing it! Definitely our highlight of our Madrid visit!
Wow — thank you for your amazing TripAdvisor review! Your kind words truly made our day. We’re so happy you enjoyed the tour, and it was an honor to guide you. Whenever your travels bring you back to Madrid, we’ll be here waiting with more stories and discoveries! Warmest wishes, The Team Of Madrid Museum Tours
You really need a guide to truly understand the history of this museum and its collection. Our guide, Irina, couldn’t have been better. The way she explained things almost brought the art to life. Highly recommend this tour.

Irina was absolutely wonderful! She was a fantastic guide and this tour really brought the museum to life. We brought our two young daughters with us along with my mother, and she did such a great job of teaching three generations about all the art we were seeing. This gave us so much more perspective than wandering alone or doing a group tour. Highly recommended!

Irina was great. She was prompt, prepared, clear, and very friendly and engaging. Not being art historians, we wouldn't have gotten nearly the amount of understanding and appreciation for the Prado and its collection without her.
Thank you so much for your lovely words! It was a real pleasure guiding you through the Prado. We are so happy to hear that you found the tour helpful and enjoyable — sharing the beauty and stories behind these masterpieces is always a joy, especially with such kind and curious guests. Wishing you all the best in your travels, and we hope to welcome you again someday! Warm regards
We had an absolutely amazing family tour of the Prado with Mrs Irene K. Our family ranged from age 5 a 74 with a total of 6 people. She perfectly kept everyone entertained and engaged us into the history of the art. Irene is a professional historian that can connect the past to our modern day way of thinking! Thank you again Irene!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review on TripAdvisor – it truly made our day! It was both an honor and a joy to guide you and family, and we hope your memories of Madrid stay with you just as warmly as you will stay in ours. Wishing you all the very best, always. Warmest regards from your new friends in Madrid,
