Loved the tour guide! - Montse was a lovely tour guide and provided great insight into various paintings. She left us wanting more art. The food part of the tour was great as well but the tour guide made the experience.

Paintings and Pigs! - Rheanna was an amazing guide who led us thru the Prado with ease. She was knowledgeable, engaging and took the time to ensure that each guest had a terrific experience.
Guiding us they the city on the way to Restaurant Botin, stopping for an aperitif and engaging us on our walk, we ended with our arrival at this famous restaurant for a tour of the tunnel area.
Our group then feasted on Roast Suckling Pig, a specialty, and lovely bottles of wine.
It was a fabulous way to enjoy this experience.
A special thanks to Rheanna who made it so terrific.

Wonderful way to learn a lot about Madrid. Amazing guide! We had a great time. - We had an amazing tour and lunch with Rosita. I would highly recommend this tour. Because the Prado is so huge, it was very helpful to have a knowledgeable guide to show us a cohesive set of works. Before lunch, we had a stop at a cool taberna with a sample and lesson about vermouth. Rosita taught us about taberna history and how to find a good one. Last stop was Casa Botin. If you really want to get into this place, this tour is worth it. It’s really hard to get in otherwise. Service was great and Rosita gave us a fantastic history lesson during lunch. Great time with a wonderful host & guide.

Art and food - The guide was well organised and was able to get the group through the doors on time.
As an artist Mariano was able to give us a wonderful insight into the major paintings and artists he had identified within the tour.
We were able to learn and expand our knowledge and all thoroughly enjoyed our visit

Prado and Botin - We had a great guided tour through some highlights in the Prado, and on to an old tavern for a vermin, before the three course lunch at Botin. Mariano was a superb guide, informative, knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this tour but not if you’re a vegan.

A Gastronomic and Sensory Exploration - Mariano was a great guide! We loved exploring El Prado Museum with him. He is passionate and knowledgeable. His love of Madrid is apparent as he shows us the enjoyment of a glass of vermouth before our feast at Botin where the suckling pig was beyond delicious!

Great unique tour that's hard to do on your own! - My wife and I enjoyed the Prado Museum Tour & Lunch at Casa Botin with Alfonso. The Prado tour was terrific. You can spend weeks there (and I have), so a quick overview in 90 minutes of some master works is very difficult to do, but Alfonso did a nice job. You can tell he's passionate about the art. The background tour of Sobrino de Botin was fun and was a great opportunity to learn something about the restaurant. There's no way you'd be able to walk around the restaurant and get that information if you booked a reservation on your own. The food and drinks were wonderful and the stop in-between for an aperitif was very nice. Thanks for another great tour, Devour!

A great addition to our Madrid trip - Montse, our art historian, was very knowledgeable. So pleased we planned this tour. After the tour, the lunch at the oldest restaurant was truly unique. I would encourage anyone visiting Madrid to include this tour.
