Half Day Private Prado Museum Guided Tour

Prado Museum (with Mariluz) Las Meninas came alive: a masterful Prado tour The Prado is enormous, and Mariluz made it manageable and unforgettable. Her knowledge of art is exceptional. She led us through the collection with ease, focusing on the works that mattered most and placing each in the context of its artist, its era, and the art history around it. Her explanation of Velázquez's Las Meninas was a highlight. She covered the painting and its historical context in great detail, and we saw it with fresh eyes afterward. The time flew by as she brought the art and the periods that produced it to life. If you love art, I'd suggest requesting Mariluz by name when you book.

Our experience was aboslutely wonderful. Jacqueline was so warm and kind and gave us so many interesting information about the history and the architecture of the city and helped us in managing some practical needs. We loved our visit!

Mariluz responded via email very quickly and provided thorough, in-depth information on exactly what would be provided in the tour. Our first tour was of the Prado museum and walking downtown. We were so impressed with this tour that we scheduled a second tour later in the week of the Thyssen museum! Our tour guide, Angela, had a strong depth of knowledge across multiple genres and eras of art. Her tours are a great balance of historical context, artist background, and information about the paintings/sculpture. Angela’s tours had a sense of efficiency to cover a fair about of art during the 2 hours, yet felt relaxed, and she was always willing to answer questions. Her level of knowledge was very clear in that anything we saw or asked, she could speak on in an incredibly informed and interesting way. We would highly recommend Madrid Private Tours!

Mariluz was an outstanding and very fun guide - she really brought the Prado alive. We wouldn't have got anywhere near as much out of the museum had we decided to go by ourselves. The visit to the Retiro park afterwards was also fantastic - we saw turtles and peacocks! Mariluz was very engaging and we really enjoyed our afternoon. I thoroughly recommend her as a tour guide.

Mariluz was a knowledgeable guide in both the Prado and Reina Sofia. We were able to dodge the crowds while still seeing the highlights in both museums. Our daughter, who loves art and mythology, had a wonderful time sharing stories and experiences.

Jacqueline is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and friendly. With competence, professionalism and passion she told us about Spanish history and managed to make us love Madrid. For example, we visited the Prado museum with her and visited the masterpieces of the greatest painters such as Bosch, Goja, Velázquez, Caravaggio we appreciated the painting techniques and secrets of the great masters. With Jacqueline we spent 3 days doing all the tours, (including Toledo) I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to visit Madrid.

Maryluz was FANTASTIC. Excellent knowledge of both art and the history behind it. Plus an enjoyable person to spend the day with. She keyed in on my interests and really made the day at the Prado memorable.

Our guide Jolanda (whom we thank again) was exceptional, friendly and engaging. Excellent tour through the streets of the center and then to the Prado. We had a great time, so much so that we then booked the same guide for the visit to the royal palace. Highly recommended, we will keep in touch even in the event of a return to Madrid

We stayed at the Prado accompanied by Idurne, who made the visit interesting even for children aged 10 and 7. Engaging and friendly, perfect Italian, beautiful Prado and Buen retiro Park
