    Unbelievable collection of art brought to life!

    This was a great tour! 1st of all, the Prado is an amazing museum with a tremendous collection of famous works of art. This museum itself is so well laid out and it has a comfortable feel in which to appreciate these works. Our guide added an amazing layer to our experience. Armed with an iPad and tremendous knowledge of the art, she guided us to the highlights and gave us terrific explanations of the works as well as the background history of the works and the artists. With the iPad she was able to show us details of the works as well as connect some of the works to other famous pieces not housed in the museum. This was a perfect way to appreciate

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review of your experience. We are truly pleased to know that your private visit to the Prado Museum was both memorable and enriching.

    Tour was 2 hours, but...

    Tour was 2 hours, but museum has massive collection, so 2 hours just scratches the surface. That being said our guide did an excellent job showing and explaining the highlights.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing Madrid Discovery for your tour and for taking the time to share your review. The tour is indeed designed to focus on the museum’s most interesting and famous masterpieces, allowing visitors to discover its must-see works within the time available.

    Morning in the Prado

    Clara was on time and very knowledgeable about the art in the Prado. She explained the background of the artists and history of artworks. Although we saw several major artists and museum highlights. I wish we had more time to continue the tour.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Prado Museum tour with Clara and her explanations. We hope to welcome you back in Madrid for another visit!

    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.
