Prado Museum and Palace Tour

Marta gave an informative review and answered all of our questions throughout the day! I learned so much! Thank you Marta!

Great overview of the Royal Palace and the Prado

Lola was an excellent guide and shared lots of historical information about the Royal Palace and Spain itself. At the Prado, she told us about the historical significance of the artist and painters and also shared her appreciation and regard for the art we saw. The tour of the Prado is quick, highlighting some of the important pieces. If you like to take your time perusing the art, you’ll need to stay after the tour, or just go on your own. We had limited time in Madrid, so this tour worked well for us.

Excellent

It was an excellent experience. My family and I loved both visits, but, above all, we really enjoyed the explanations from our guide, Juan Antonio. He made each tour even more interesting and enriching.

Well worth the price!

Was above expectations! Carefully selected pieces visited on a well-paced tour. Lola was very professional, informed, and kind.

We were very disappointed...

We were very disappointed in the tour. Meeting place changed last minute, several people went to original meetings place and were told of the change and had to take a taxi to the new location. We booked this tour with the palace first followed by the Prado specifically so we would be able to remain touring the Prado after the tour was completed. At the last minute they change the order and started at the Prado. We decided to skip the place tour since the Prado is soooo big!
