Above and beyond! - I wasn’t feeling well, our guide got me a wheelchair so I could continue the tour, he even pushed me in it, above & beyond what was expected. Of course the museum is beautiful and had a lot of amazing sculpture. We were surprised that no photos were allowed.

Fantastic Private Tour - Our guide Ignacio was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and knew to get to the best works of art early. He was insightful of each artist and explained details of the artwork in such an understandable manner. He was attentive to everyone in our group and made sure we were able to see each piece of art up close. We loved our tour! This is definitely a highlight of our trip.

Fabulous and educational visit - We took our 17 and 13 year old to their first European art museum visit and they really enjoyed it. Ignacio made the on 2.5 hour tour very interesting and he was quite knowledgeable on all the pieces in the museum. In the 2.5 hour tour Ignacio covered most of all the important pieces in the museum.
My husband who was not expecting to enjoy the museum said the tour was so wonderful that his visit to the Prado was the highlight of his trip to Madrid.
I highly recommend this tour with Ignacio. He was very knowledgeable, professional and punctual.

Amazing tour!! - Wow! Ignacio gave us an incredible tour of the museum. He started with works of art from the 1400’s and used those works to explain the techniques as well as the historical context to each work of art. This was by far the best art museum tour we have ever experienced!

Worth planning around - Ignacio sis an amazing job of walking our group through the history of paintings in the Prado in a way that was entertaining and educational for both an 11-year old and a art history major in the same group. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tour! Highly highly recommend. - Fantastic experience. Ignacio is a real pro. He went deep in the historical context of key Prado paintings. His knowledge of painting helped us understand the techniques used. I would book again. Of note, we were with our 14 yr old daughter and she loved it. Thank you again for the wonderful tour!
