What To Expect
Museo Nacional del Prado
The Prado Museum is, for many international experts, the best art museum in the world. Here you can find the greatest treasures collected by the Spanish royal family throughout centuries: paintings that changed art history forever or some of the most popular masterpieces of all times, like 'The Garden of Earthly Delights' by Hieronymus Bosch. This museum houses the best collection of paintings by Goya, the first great modern artist. You'll enjoy Rafael, El Greco, Caravaggio or Brueghel the Elder.

5.00Pablo was a fascinating guide to the Prado and provided unique insights about art history as well as how to interpret artworks in general. We enjoyed every minute of the tour and highly recommend it. The tour group was only 7 which provided easy opportunities for interaction. A highlight of our visit to Madrid.

5.00The best trip of all!!! It was very worth it, even because it makes no use to get to Prado without a notion of what to see

5.00Fantastic! Pablo’s tour was recommended to me by a friend and was one of the main reasons for my trip to Madrid. I have to say he did not disappoint! Really insightful, interesting and in depth. Amazing discussions and it was so interesting to learn more about some of my favourite paintings.

5.00This was the best art museum tour we have ever been on. Our guide Pablo is an art therapist and took us deep inside some of the most important masterpieces at the Prado. It was highly educational and very moving.
Pablo is an elite guide.

5.00It was a privilege to spend the afternoon with such a knowledgeable guide. Learn art history and appreciation as told through a story. Pablo does an excellent job of "building" the experience. We went to other museums after this, and we wished Pablo was there to guide us!
5 star Unique Art History Experience

5.00This 2 hour small group guided tour by Pablo was outstanding. He clearly articulated art history from Renaissance to Modern and the techniques that ushered in each era. He educated us about the importance of the eyes, hands and objects when interpreting a painting. He also demonstrated the importance of location and distance when viewing art masterpieces. His emphasis on self-reflection when evaluating a painting was enlightening. This tour was an exceptional educational experience.
