If you are going to do this attraction, do not do it with this company. Bad experience.
If you are going to do this experience, do not do it with this company. We arrived 10 minutes late; not only did they not wait for us, but they also did not allow us to join the group that had already left. And their only solution was to tell us to check for ourselves if we were allowed to enter with the group tickets.
Response from the operator: juanpablomena Respuesta en español Estimado Juan Pablo, Lamentamos que su experiencia no fuera la esperada. Informamos previamente de la importancia de llegar con tiempo de antelación al punto de encuentro, ya que el tour debe comenzar a la hora indicada y no podemos retrasar al grupo ni perjudicar a los clientes que sí llegaron puntualmente. En este caso, no fue posible incorporarle al grupo una vez iniciada la visita, ya que el guía debe estar realizando el recorrido y atendiendo a los clientes presentes, no puede interrumpir la explicación para localizar a otros participantes ni detener la visita. Además, durante el recorrido no podemos conocer en todo momento la ubicación exacta del grupo dentro del museo. Por ese motivo, se le ofreció la opción de hacer uso de la audioguía, para que pudiera realizar la visita de forma alternativa con las entradas gestionadas. Saludos, Tu equipo de My Top Tour

It's kind of a scam - avoid them!
It's kind of a scam. My Top Tour will replicate the original website of an attraction (let's say the Prado Museum in Madrid) to the very last detail and add a disclaimer in a very small font size at the bottom of the page to say they're a reseller... and sell you tickets for double the price they actually cost. They'll send you the tickets a few hours later with the original cost printed on them. They're basically scalpers for touristic attractions. It's a shame their website is the first result on Google too.

Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Madrid.
How much does Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Madrid usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Madrid is not rushed.
Is Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 37 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.3/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Madrid, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Madrid can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Madrid and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tour of the Prado Museum of Madrid start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Madrid within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Madrid?
+
On Outty we rank every Madrid experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Madrid Essential: Historic Center, Plaza Mayor & Royal Palace, Madrid Walking Tour from Puerta del Sol to Retiro Park, Madrid Tapas & Wine Tour with Rooftop Views and Local Guide. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Madrid?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Madrid?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

+
Included: Ticket for the Prado Museum; and Guide in the selected language. Not included: Nothing not mentioned in the section "Services included". Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
