Museo Nacional del Prado
Admission included180 min
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. Once there, you won’t have to wait in the queue and will be able to enter directly. During the tour you will have the opportunity to see and understand some of the most relevant works of all time in the Western world. Bosch, Rafael, Titian, El Greco, Velazquez, Rubens or Goya are some of the main artists of the gallery. Without doubt the most universally well known: The Garden Of Delights, Las Meninas y Las Pinturas Negras, will be central to the tour.
Of course, also you will have the opportunity to receive advice about the best tapas bars, restaurants, or recommendations on what you can do in Madrid (there’s plenty)

The Prado is, of course,...
The Prado is, of course, one of the world's greatest treasures. Our superlative guides, Almudena, helped us navigate our way through it in a logical way, experience its wonders, and understand the importance of its major pieces. She adapted to our interests and pace, and we never felt rushed.

Extra Ordinary Experience
We had an excellent tour of the Prado Museum. Our guide, a former art professor, was incredibly knowledgeable, but it was his genuine passion for the art that made the experience so memorable. He brought the paintings and their stories to life. An outstanding guide and a wonderful experience.

Love of Spanish Artists! Unique art experience!
Guido was an EXCELLENT guide. Very knowledgeable, patient and a good communicator.
We enjoy getting the historic context of each era as Spanish painters evolved over centuries (i.e. El Greco, Velasquez, Goya, etc.)

The guide made a great difference.
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.

Very enlightening experience
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.
