Ricardo was one of the best guides we have ever had! He is truly the best and we would be thrilled to take another tour with him the next time we are in Madrid

The explanation of the guides was great, they described and told us the details of places and paintings in a fun way and we learned a lot.

Our guide was really knowledgeable and shared his knowledge in a way that made me see and understand the paintings! He was also very knowledgeable about the history of the art and the times and shared that with us so we could appreciate the circumstances under which the artist worked. Our guide is a great teacher and communicator - very lucky to have had such a great person to show us the museum!!!

The guide at the Prado, Ana Maria, was amazing - she explained each painting with immense knowledge and enthusiasm. She clearly loves her job. The guide at the Royal Palace was less enthusiastic and, as a large part of the palace wasn't air conditioned, it was a relief to escape at the end of the tour.

I really liked that it was simple and not heavy. We went light and it was not boring at all, the content of the topics and what was exposed seemed to me very very very according to the time not so much to the total price. I liked it very much, I have the feeling that I will repeat. Thank you very much for your services.

Tour the Famed Prado Museum

Your experience starts off with a walk down the beautiful Paseo del Prado, a beautiful avenue filled with trees and ornate fountains that were given to the capital by King and mayor, Carlos III. The avenue leads to the Prado Museum, and from there you will be diving deep into the cultural and artistic history of Europe by touring through the collection of artwork that is housed in the Museum. Your guide will take you through the museum and highlighting the most famous pieces while providing you with the history of the museum and its development. You're free to roam about the museum on your own, after which your experience will end, with you having had your fill of the exceptional art and architecture that Madrid is famous for!

Enjoy a Guided Tour of the Royal Palace

The Royal Palace of Madrid is the official residence of the royal family of Spain. A tour of the Royal Palace is an opportunity to witness the opulence and splendour in which royalty live their lives. The tour will also include visiting the exhibits that include pieces from the royal art collection, and other collections of significant artistic and historic importance, including watches, furniture, and the world’s only Stradivarius string quintet. Make sure that you admire the views of Madrid from this exquisite vantage point before you conclude your visit. Your tour of the Royal Palace should take about 90 minutes, after which you will have plenty of time to wander, shop or grab a bite to eat.
