The Prado is our favorite art museum in Madrid and we learn something new every time we visit. Our guide, Rosita, was friendly and knowledgeable. The 2-hour tour was perfect for viewing paintings by Goya, el Greco, Bosch, Velázquez, and more. The perspective seen walking by Tintoretto’s Washing id the Feet is amazing! Good value at a great price!

Sergio. Thank you for your expertise and knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour of the Prado -its art treasures as well as history. We learned a great deal and would recommend your company. Thanks again.
Wonder experience with Sergio. He was extremely knowledgeable on the history of the museum, the artists and the pieces we saw. Would highly this tour of you want to see the main pieces without being overwhelmed.
Tour guide was knowledgeable and interesting. He covered the collection in chronicological order. Well worth the money.
A wonderful way to spend a cool, drizzly Sunday in Madrid – discovering the best of the Prado Museum. Our guide "Mich" (Michele) was awesome – knowledgeable, fun, accommodating, and patient. As one of us walks with the assistance of 2 canes, he was great in getting a wheelchair to make the visit more comfortable and clearing the way to make sure the art was visible. His stories about the artists and their connections to the royal family, Spanish history and art history were fascinating. Our 2 hours touched on the major works and certainly sparked our interest to return and spend more time enjoying and learning.
Our guide Isais was great - funny, informative, great stories, made the art really accessible. He also kept a brisk good pace which we appreciated.
Excellent way to tour the Prado. We walked inside past the giant lineup with Sergio. The day we visited was crowded but Sergio skirted around, missing crowds but keeping the narrative thread. He had deep knowledge and passion for the works of art and their historical context. Well worth the cost.
This was an excellent tour (small group 6). Our tour guide was Alfredo, He was very informative and he made it very interesting.
Mich was so knowledgeable and entertaining. I never knew Art could be so interesting.
Absolutely fantastic tour of the Prado with Michele. He was so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and also flexible, taking us to lots of the masterpieces but also telling us fascinating stories and history about other paintings we pointed to. The time absolutely flew by and we could easily have done a whole day without being bored for a minute. Cannot recommend Michele enough. A really top tour guide with amazing knowledge of art history.
Rosita did a great job. Very enjoyable to listen to.
Rosita was our tour guide &was fantastic.she was very knowledgeable, friendly & enthusiastic! We highly recommend this tour & Rosita as a guide.
Sergio made my Prado experience so perfect. His insight, knowledge and enthusiasm were so inspiring. This tour was definitely the highlight of my Madrid visit. Book it with Sergio and you will see.
This tour of the Prado Museum was one of the highlights of our vacation. Our guide Sergio was knowledgeable, professional and passionate about Spanish art and history. He was able to give us a comprehensive overview of the museum and show us many of the most renowned masterpieces in just over two hours. We of course only scratched the surface of the vast collection, but we were amazed by what we saw and learned.
We had a very enjoyable and informative tour of the Prado Museum. It is an exquisite collection of early renaissance and Baroque works. As our guide Sergio said, the different sections of the museum really deserve to be enjoyed at leisure. For enthusiasts and first time tourists of Madrid, a very nice experience on a rainy, or too-hot day.
Sergio is the best tour guide in town ( and we have done many guided tours here in Madrid) He is knowledgeable friendly and interesting.
Amazing tour with Sergio! Gave us a deep insight on the history of the museum. Really enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend.
Sergio our guide was very knowledgeable and presented the art in the best possible way. He told the stories through the artists mind; delivering a tour that was beyond expectation. I would highly recommend. Communication, meeting point from start to finish perfecto.
If you are visiting El Prado, Rosita is the guide to book. Her art history background transforms the visit—every stop comes with the context that actually deepens your appreciation, not just dates and names. The pace was well-judged, questions were welcomed, and we never felt rushed past major works.
Rosita was an excellent tour guide. She was fun and friendly, and extremely knowledgeable.
Great tour outstanding!!!! Went in the afternoon wasn’t to crowded.
It was unreal. Sergio was informed and well educated in art! He made it fun for my kids and engaged them. He hit all the must sees in the Prado and gave us a good overview of Spanish history!
Prado Museum is a must see.Javier was knowledgeable enthusiastic and had a well organized plan to see important pieces.
Michelle A. was a phenomenal guide. One of our most enjoyable art gallery experiences. 100 characters is too many That is a ridiculous requirement
My friend and I had a private tour with an excellent guide, Sergio. Sergio was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the Prado, as well as its various artworks. As it was a private tour, we took it at a nice pace. We had a lot of opportunities to ask questions. Overall an excellent tour which I highly recommend!
Sergio and Issac were both art experts with deep knowledge of the art and the artists. That means even if you are not fully into the art, the background and context they provide will keep anyone riveted! Forgot to mention the passion for what they do and how pleasant they were to spend time with. Highly recommend this tour.
We throughly enjoyed our guided tour with Mountain City Tours. The expertise of our guide Mitch was top notch and allowed us to maximize our enjoyment of the Prado’s amazing collections. We look forward to returning in the future.
Amazing experience with Sergio at the Prado Museum. Extremely knowledgeable and very enriching afternoon. Time flew by too fast. I highly recommend it!
Michele was an excellent guide to the Prado!! His enthusiasm and passion for art was combined with a deep knowledge of the history behind the major paintings. What a treat! Highly recommend!
Our guide, Sergio, did an amazing job. There were only four people in the group, and he did a fantastic job explaining the artwork, its historical context, and the stories behind each piece, while also answering all our questions. By the end of the tour, we felt we truly understood the museum and were able to connect everything we saw with the history of Madrid and Spain. Sergio even gave us great recommendations for places to go and things to do in Madrid after the tour. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed this Prado Museum tour. There were only a few people in the group, so it felt very easy to ask questions and take our time with the artworks. The guide was knowledgeable and made the whole experience very engaging.It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Madrid. Highly recommend!
One of the best ways to discover Madrid! Sergio’s passion for the city is contagious, and his explanations were clear, entertaining, and full of interesting details. The pace was perfect, the group was small, and we felt safe the entire time. A perfect mix of history, culture, and local life. Don’t miss this tour!
The tour was amazing. Sergio, our guide, was a great professional, with a lot of knowledge of art history, so the visit was both educational and very well explained. He was friendly and very forthcoming with the group. It was a very interesting and pleasant experience.
An unforgettable experience with a magnificent guide of the best tours I have done I take a lot of knowledge highly recommended
The two and a half hours passed very quickly with our fantastic guide of the Prado Museum who showed great knowledge as well as being very friendly. I definitely recommend it as one of the best experiences in Madrid
