No brainer - Not sure why everyone doesn’t do this. It is an absolute steal.
You see everything you need to see before the crowd comes in. These experiences aren’t this cheap elsewhere.

What a treat to explore one of the world's most impressive art museum's ALONE! - What an absolute treat to be in one of the world's most art impressive museums essentially ALONE! Andrea was a phenomenal guide, and the details I learned weaved a fascinating history about Spain, Madrid, and art. (Another bonus: you completely skip the massive line to get into the museum!) Highly recommended.

VIP El Prado - A fantastic introduction to the great Del Prado masters and a wonder to be able to contemplate the works with the Museum empty.

Wow !! - This tour was outstanding, our guide Rosita took us on an exclusive tour of some of the world’s most iconic artworks. It was an amazing opportunity to stand and take in the art with no one in front or pushing from behind.
I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit the Prado Museum. What a fabulous experience. Book early.

All alone in the museum! - I had never entered a museum BEFORE it opened before and the experience was super easy and I now want to do it in every city! Our guide, Alfonso, clearly loves this museum and made the information easy to put together.

Once in lifetime - This was a wow experience. It felt really special to be there before the official opening.
Not only the fact of being the only ones in this art institution opposite of those masterpieces with nobody next to fighting for their space but also the opportunity to have a guide who can show the master pieces putting them in context and learning from them things that without them would be impossible.
Highly recommended.
