Our take

At the Prado a guide makes all the difference: the museum is huge, and in 3 hours you go straight to the essentials with context. The private version is pricey compared with a small group, but worth it if there are 3 or 4 of you or you want to set your own pace. Minimum 2 people per booking.

The experience

What you'll see

A private 3-hour tour of the Prado Museum focused on the must-see works: Bosch, Raphael, Titian, El Greco, Velázquez, Rubens and Goya. The visit centres on The Garden of Earthly Delights, Las Meninas and the Black Paintings, and the guide also explains how art evolved over the centuries.

How it works

Guides are officially licensed and most are art historians. They can pick you up at your hotel and tell you about the streets on the way, or you can meet at the museum ticket office, by the Goya statue, which the supplier recommends if your hotel isn't nearby. Skip-the-line entry is included. The price is per person, with a minimum of 2.

Who I'd recommend it to

First-time visitors who don't want to get lost among the galleries.
Small groups or families who'd like a guide just for themselves.
Anyone who wants to understand the works, not just see them.

Cancellation policy

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start, with a full refund.
