Prado Museum: VIP Skip-Line Small Group Masterpiece Tour

The museum is one of the best we have ever visited. And our guide Belen was extremely impressive and thorough.

There are good guides. There are great guides. There are excellent guides. And then there is Isabel. Isabel recently led us on a small group tour of key works in El Prado. Not only was she phenomenally knowledgeable, she also had a huge passion which was both inspiring and infectious as well as a real empathy, constantly checking that we were all OK and could get good views. She was really able to bring every picture we stopped at to life and her explanations provided a whole new dimension. Overall my wife and I have just returned from 9 days spent in Madrid and Valencia and we are agreed that our visit to El Prado was the best moment – not just because of the treasures it holds but because Isabel was such a joy to be shown around by.

Our guide Tatiana was very knowledgable, full of all the important explainations and interesting details about the different paintings, artists and eras. We had a wonderfull tour! Thankyou!

The group was small (four participants) and the tour guide (Macarena) is very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the selected paintings. While the museum was not packed, there was a lot of background noise (even a humming noise) that made it difficult for me to hear the guide (some of that is on me as I do have high pitched hearing loss). But the museum might pay some attention to noise abatement to enhance visitors' experience.

Maria met us at the Goya statue and proceeded to give us a Spanish art history lesson. I thought that I knew a bit about it but was very impressed with her knowledge and delivery. Highly recommended this to anyone interested in Goya and Velasquez.

Macarena was a wonderful tour guide. She combines an enormous knowledge of art techniques and history, a focused approach, and an engaging style to provide an outstanding tour experience.

The guide Maria was knowledgeable and well spoken. I am only deducting a point for noise/crowds. Not her fault! But it took away from my experience. We stayed (after lunch )for 3 1/2 additional hours the tour. Crowds thinned a little 2-4 pm. Good English signage. The collection is staggering if you love art. Art lovers the whole day there

Excellent overview of the masterpieces in the Prado. Our guide Maria was really knowledgable and navigated us through the museum with history lessons coupled with art techniques and information about the artists. Wish it could be a 3 hour tour!

Absolutely terrific experience with our guide Maria at the Prado. She was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. She really helped bring the art to life with tons of context on the subject matter as well as the technical aspects of the paintings. Thank you, Maria!

Macarena was the most organized and amazing guide. Everything from meeting spot throughout the tour. Highly recommend the tour and ask for Macarena!
