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.

Great tour - Great tour! Super informative and interesting. We went over the allotted time and no one minded, including the guide, who was very gracious. I would strongly recommend this tour - the background and explanation are key to appreciating the museum.

Perfect “highlights of the Prado” tour! - Maria was a wonderful guide and this tour gave our family a great first experience at the Prado! The Prado is so extensive that it was very nice to see the highlights and have them explained historically and artistically. The museum is busy and there are lots of tours going on. Maria was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and totally engaging! Her pace, background knowledge and historical & artistic explanations were fantastic. She was clever and upbeat and our teenagers loved her too. After the tour we spent hours walking through the rest of the Prado and were able to use the information she gave us throughout the rest of the museum.

Definitely worth it! Whether you know a lot of art history - or nothing - take this tour! - I loved having a good overview of the collection, the history of the museum and the history of Spain. Fernando’s knowledge of art is vast and he was generous in sharing his knowledge with us. I’m a painter and had my share of art history but I think Fernando is good for those that know nothing as well as those that know a little more. If we hadn’t had so little time in Madrid - I might not have done this. But… now, I think it’s something everyone should do no matter how much time they have at the Prado - it’s truly worth it.

Our guide, Macarena, was... - Our guide, Macarena, was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Spanish art and, in particular, the specific paintings we viewed. She put the artists and their work in historical contact for us, and she was very friendly and engaging. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Must do tour with Macarena !!! - This was a fantastic tour that helped us really enjoy the Prado. The museum is so large and would be overwhelming to do on your own. Macarena was fabulous. She clearly has a great art and history background and made it very interesting for those of us that are not as well versed in these areas. Could not have been happier with our experience!

Tour with Macarena a must do! - What a great experience spending the morning at the museum with Macarena! She did an awesome job of taking us to the different floors in chronological order and explaining not only the artist, but the history behind each one. The lines to get in without a skip the line ticket were very long and it only took us about two minutes, so I highly recommend this small group option.

Outstanding tour - Alex, our guide was excellent- he highlighted the major sites and works at the Prado and pointed out areas for us to further explore. I travelled with two children, ages 9 & 12 and he kept them engaged by relating the art to the modern day.

SKIP THE LINE PRADO MUSEUM TOUR - The small group tour at the Prado was excellent. We viewed the most well known paintings with in-depth information narrated by our guide. Our guide was excellent, well versed in each painting and open to questions and comments. The tour was well organized, on time, and a pleasure. I highly recommend the tour. It was my first visit to the Prado, and I can't imagine going there with out a good guide for your first visit. I made the Prado visit special. Thanks.

Great small group tour! - Aloya was an excellent guide. She chose the best paintings that represented each period. Her descriptions were clear and thorough. The earphones provided were comfortable and new. No static. Aliya was open to answering our questions and did so knowledgeably. We paid for a small group and having 5 people made our group mobile and able to move more agilely through the crowds. We appreciated the skip the line feature as well. After the nearly 2 hr tour, we were able to spend another 2 hrs on our own as there is just soooo much to see in this amazing museum. Do not bring a backpack.
