Full description

Discover masterpieces of art on a skip-the-line guided tour of the Prado Museum and explore the galleries of Spain's national art museum, located in the museum district of central Madrid. Widely considered to have one of the world's finest collections of European art from the 12th to the early 20th century, the Prado Museum also boasts the single best collection of Spanish art in the world.

Founded as a museum of paintings and sculptures in 1819, it was enlarged by the addition of short pavilions at the rear of the magnificent building between 1900 and 1960. See masterpieces by Francisco Goya, Hieronymus Bosch and Peter Paul Rubens, along with acclaimed paintings by El Greco, Titian and Diego Velázquez. Journey through the story of Spanish and European art through the centuries and get expert explanations along the way. If you select the tapas tasting option, following the tour of Prado Museum, you will then walk through the city to one of the most important bars in Madrid where you will have the opportunity to taste several tapas of Spanish food.

Spain is internationally renowned for its gastronomy and is proud of its rich culture and culinary history.

Our tour of the Prado Museum was excellent, and so was our guide. She was both knowledgeable and a pleasure to be around. She describes various forms of art with enthusiasm and clarity. She made us all smile, answered any questions and we truly enjoy a wonderful tour at the Museum.

My guide Rosio was incredible. She had extensive knowledge over the paintings, the painters and the time periods. She made paintings come alive with her animated storytelling. I’ve visited museums all over the world and this was one of the best guided tours I’ve ever been on. 10/10 would recommend.

I genuinely enjoyed the tour. Carmen our guide was excellent and so passionate and knowledgeable about the art. My constructive feedback is that we spent a little too long focused at each piece. I have ADHD so can listen to commentary whilst roaming the gallery to study other artworks, but other people were looking a little bored during with all the detail. Also, we spent about the first 15 minutes of the allocated tour waiting for Carmen to collect our tickets - time wasted.
