- Nomad402131765070 contributionsThe guide makes the tour a memorable experienceThis was a fantastic tour and well timed. What made the experience as wonderful as it was was having a friendly, funny and well informed guide. Clara was a delight, and I was extremely impressed with her art knowledge. She picked the best pieces at El Prado and gave us a very thorough explanation of the particular artist and pieces. Extremely impressive.Written 20 March 2025
- 776stephenr0 contributionsPalacio y PradoWe thoroughly enjoyed the tours. Clara, our guide, was lively and informative. She relayed history of the monarchy with humor. The walking tour wasn’t fast paced and she related what we just experienced at the Palacio with points of interest. She is very knowledgeable about the artist in the Prado.Written 20 March 2025
- David W0 contributionsAudio guide tourThe museum/ art gallery is well worth visit. I was not impressed with the audio package. There were 4 in our group, and we each installed the app. Some worked but mine just played poorly transmitted music. Told at last minute to take headphones, but we did not all have them. Also last minute change meant tickets were collected outside museum, not sent by email as advised - a bit worrying at the timeWritten 20 March 2025

- 732marcyk0 contributionsSkip the Line Tour of the Royal Palace and PradoThis tour was great. Marta was an excellent guide, providing just the right amount of history about the Palace and selecting Prado paintings. It finishes at Prado, so you have more time to walk the museum and see other masterpieces. Worth the cost.Written 15 March 2025
- Paula C0 contributionsExcellent overview to want you to see more.Christiana was excellent in highlighting key works and often did so with a little humor. She was outstanding in moving our group of 12 through the crowds. The microphones used to iced clear sound, no static, and were lightweight.Written 13 March 2025

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I took a guided tour of the Prado Museum.
The guide Angel is knowledgeable about the works exhibited with implicit history of each painting seen through historical periods and with anecdotes that make the presentation very interesting for those who are interested in a tour concentrated by an art teacher.
Highly recommended

Tour guide never showed up. I called the company multiple times and they kept saying he was on his way and he was close by but after 40 minutes of waiting I decided to cancel, and I am still waiting for my refund.
