Additional Information

We are delighted to announce that this experience was honored with the Viator Experience Award 2023, for the second consecutive time! This excursion encompasses the highlights of the Prado Museum. With over a thousand paintings housed within its walls (no exaggeration, that’s the actual number), we are unable to cover everything; however, we equip you with the basic knowledge for you to continue exploring on your own after the visit. Hence, we often refer to this as an educational tour.

On the flip side, if you’re an Art Aficionado, here’s some great news: given that we’ll be a small group of just 7, you’ll have the flexibility to pick what you’d like to see and make specific requests. That’s the reason we usually refer to this as a flexible tour.

For those with larger groups, simply drop us an email, and we’ll coordinate the visit.

Location
Monument to Goya
Calle de Felipe IV
We will meet at Goya Statue, right in front of the Museum's ticket office. The tour guide will have the sign of our company: the guides you need. And, finally, we will send you a mail with all the instructions hours before the tour (usually, the evening before the tour).
Cancellation Policy

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Excellent tour and knowledgeable guide - Stefania was an incredible guide! She was fun and informative and with only one other couple on the tour, she was able to answer all our questions. Having had issues with another tour booked through another site, I really appreciated that she sent an email the day before with specific instructions on where to meet and even gave me her telephone number in case I should need it. Highly recommend.

Great Tour Experience and Guide - This was the best tour we experienced in Madrid. Maria was very knowledgeable about the museum and the artwork. She led us to all the important paintings and gave great details about each one. We can highly recommend this tour.

Maria made our Museo de Prado trip AMAZING!!! - Extremely knowledgeable and gives great insight on many of the paintings and artists. Would suggest Maria to any travelers. Our ONLY disappointment was the Mona Lisa de Prado was on loan to Singapore. Too bad but definitely not Maria’s fault. Skipping the is a suggested idea. The lines were long to main attraction rooms were crowded. Thank you from Texas for the awesome experience. ~bb

Best art guide I’ve ever had - I’ve been on guided art museum trips all over Europe and the US. Stefi was by far the best guide I’ve ever had. Her knowledge and background stories of the artists lives was amazing and her ability to help me appreciate specific things in certain pieces would have been missed by me without her.

Small Group Tour of the Prado - Paula was our guide, and we were so thankful that we opted into a small group tour. The Prado felt like a lot to navigate, in terms of the physical ground one has to cover—and the artworks that one wants to seek out. Paula did an excellent job of choreographing the tour, and was so thoughtful about when and how we would pause with a piece, or take space from overbearing groups. Paula’s mini lectures were thoughtful and engaging, and the connections she drew were impressive. She moved us through the quattrocento, she did an amazing job of comparing and contrasting what was happening within the Italian renaissance against what was happening in Spain, and she gave thorough explanations of major shifts in technique, color and materials used. I especially appreciated the breakdown of “The Garden of Earthly Delights”—and how when she was asked about one super small detail of the piece, she immediately could break it down and suggest something supplemental to track down for an even deeper appreciation. She was personable and kind, and really made an effort to guide us through the Prado as comfortably as possible. She also took several extra minutes, at the tour’s conclusion, to direct us all to a Caravaggio upon request. Paula really went above and beyond, and we would recommend the company (and Paula in particular!) to anyone interested in touring the Prado. Such a lovely experience—many thanks!
