We were delighted with the Madrid Museums private tour of the Prado and Reina Sofia. Irina was our guide and her art history expertise and love of the art, the artists and the history came through. She curated the experience brilliantly and we found it interesting and thoroughly enjoyable. We recommend highly.

Irina is super nice, knows a lot about art history, answers questions and plans well the visits. When buying your tickets, be aware that the entrance for the museums are not included, so the whole experience becomes very expensive.
Absolutely fantastic experience! Our private tour with Irina through the Prado and Reina Sofia museums was a highlight of our trip. She masterfully guided us through the works of the great masters, bringing Spanish history to life with rich, colorful background stories. Irina’s knowledge was impressive, and her ability to navigate the vast museums while effortlessly avoiding the crowds made the experience feel both intimate and relaxed. We saw all the highlights without ever feeling rushed—highly recommended!
We had a fantastic time visiting the Prado and Reina Sofía museums with Irina. Our guide was so knowledgeable and accommodating, and her interaction was perfect. The museums were so big that there was no way we would have been able to navigate them and see the highlights in a timely way, this tour made sure we did just that, an excellent experience with such an excellent guide.
Do not miss the opportunity to appreciate the Prado with the expert insights of this art historian. Irina is a delightfully exciting and inspiring guide, not a dry academic. We had such an amazing experience with Irina at the Prado that we asked her to guide us at the Thyssen and Reina Sofia Museums as well.
Irina was a treasure of information, well presented, very enthusiastic! She made all the paintings come to life and was well worth the money! We would highly recommend this tour and guide!
Irina was a wonderful tour guide. We took a private Jewish tour of the Prado and Royal Palace. She communicates easily, was fun to be with, and most importantly, she wound the history and the art together cohesively. We would recommend Irina.
