Museo Nacional del Prado
Along this tour we will visit the largest and most important painting gallery around the world, El Prado Museum, approaching the most outstanding artists and masterpieces in it. First of all, we will get to know a little bit about both the origin of the building and the origin of the collections. Then, following a chronological order, we will go through the centuries between XV and XIX, placing special emphasis on those artists who worked in Spain or worked for the Spanish Monarchy; from Tiziano, passing through El Greco, Rubens or Velázquez (between others), upto Goya. As plastic artist and art restorer that I am, I've prepared this tour in order for the visitor to dive into the great treasure that El Prado museum houses, understanding the different historic contexts and the relation between one artwork and the other, learning a lot and having fun at the same time.

Excellent tour of the Prado with our guide, Delfina. She skillfully navigated our small group through the museum to major works of art while sharing interesting information about the pieces, the artists, and the times. Highly recommend a tour with Delfina.

Delfi gave us an excellent tour of the Prado! Being an art historian and restorer herself, she’s able to present a unique angle to what you’re seeing. She’s not just taking you from one popular piece of art to another, following the crowds; she’s taking you to lesser known pieces as well and telling you the history of both Spain and the art, as well as how the collection progressed. We got a lesson in history, art, and art history – all while seeing an amazing collection in about half a day. This was a great way - and about the right amount of time – to enjoy the Prado. We both knew a little bit of art history from friends, other tours, and our own interest, but Delfi was able to teach us so much more about the history and what shaped the paintings that we were seeing. We can’t recommend Delfi’s tour enough for art and history lovers. !Muchas gracias, Delfi!

Out guide was amazing. We wouldn’t have wanted to tackle this monster without her. She gave us a great historical perspective on the masterpieces.
