Awesome day with our tour guide

5.00My partner and I met up with our tour guide Sofia at our hotel lobby. She was right on time and a taxi was already waiting for us! She was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about art and art history, she was super-engaging. We saw spectacular works at the Prado and Reina-Sofia and took a short coffee break with her between museum visits. It was a cold grey winter day, perfect for being in a museum and the perfect time to be there—early January- no lines, no crowds. I highly recommend Viator if you want to skip the lines and have a knowledgeable guide do all of the heavy lifting while you simply enjoy the art!

5.00This was a great way to visit museums when you have limited time. These museums are filled with so much artwork and history it would take days to see it all. Sophia did an excellent job selecting what she thought was important while being flexible to offer whether we had anything specific we wanted to focus on. She is very knowledgeable about the artwork and created a wonderful experience for us. She’s also quite charming.

5.00Eva was a fantastic guide! She was knowledgeable and helped us truly appreciate the masterpieces of the Prado and Reina Sofia. Without Eva, we would not have enjoyed the museums to the same extent! Thank you, Eva.

5.00Both of us loved this tour. Olivia was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the museums. We loved that she was able to relate works of art of both museums and that she included not only an explanation of the art and the history surrounding each piece. Hughly recommended.
Private tour of Prado and Reina Sofia

5.00This was an excellent tour made better by the fact that our wonderful guide, Olivia, is an art history professor. I have an art history degree so we had a lot to discuss and it is always great to see the works I studied. Olivia met us at our hotel, then we made our way to the Prado, where we were able to bypass the long lines. There is never enough time to see the entire museum as it is massive but we definitely saw many of the highlights. We then made our way to the Reina Sofia where we also bypassed the lines. Olivia has a huge wealth of knowledge about Spanish art that enhanced the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with her and I would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone who is considering it.
Great experience
