Why a private tour?
The tour is tailored to you. Tell us what interests you most, and we'll customize the tour. You will have as much interaction with the tour guide as you want, delving into any aspect that interests you. You'll be able to see the works at your own pace. If you're a group of fewer than 7 people, we'll avoid the lines that larger groups have to wait in.
Why a guided visit?
Art is complex and hides many secrets. We specialize in art tours; our tour guides are experts in the field. We strive to make the visit more fun and interesting, revealing the hidden details of the works and the history of their creators. What's more, we try to share knowledge that will be useful not only during this visit, but also to better understand and appreciate art at any time.
Why visit the Prado Museum?
Thanks to its collection of masterpieces, which spans from the 12th to the 19th century, a visit with an art expert will allow us to see up close the evolution of more than 700 years of European art, guided by great masters such as El Bosco, Dürer, El Greco, Rubens, Titian, Tintoretto, Velázquez, and Goya. We'll understand the context of these artists and why their masterpieces have left an indelible mark on the evolution of art worldwide. One of the most important museums in the world can offer a revealing experience about art in general.
What is the visit's itinerary?
The tour guide will be waiting for you at the time you choose in front of the Monument to Goya, opposite the ticket desks of the Prado Museum. This beautiful area, called the Paisaje de la Luz, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and was created by Charles III to make artistic, scientific, and natural knowledge accessible to all citizens; it has shaped the character of Madrid like few others.
We will then use the fastest entrance, depending on group size, to make the most of the visit.
We'll enter the Prado Museum, where we'll see one of the world's finest collections, which shows the evolution of European art from the Middle Ages to the 19th century. Your tour guide will share the secrets of the fifth-best museum in the world and the third-best in Europe according to TripAdvisor users.
Once the tour is over, you'll have the option of staying in the museum to see whatever you want and, if you decide to, we'll share some recommendations with you.
