Macarena was an amazing guide. She is very personable, easy to understand, and wicked smart about the artwork. It's easy to see that she completely enjoys talking about the artwork and the museum.

Clara hosted us for THE BEST TOUR EVER of Prado Museum. HIGHLY RECOMMEND CLARA!!! Please request her upon booking. Clara is Young, Energetic, Talented and Extremely Knowledgeable. She went at a very good pace and was very informative. As a seasoned traveler and passionate art lover, Clara was truly an incredible resource for the tour at the Prado. Personally I have a university background in Art History and found her delivery to be delightful and very authentic. Can’t recommend her enough. Would love to do more tours with her and their team.
The Tour Guide is really well-versed in the art history and the general history of the area. She was also charming and fun to be with. I couldn’t imagine going to this museum, perhaps only this once, without having somebody to tour me through it.
Excellent tour guide of the Prado Museum! He guided us through the entire museum, and explained the significant pieces of art! Well done!
The guide was fully bilingual and extremely knowledgeable. She there waiting for us when we arrived at the meeting point, answered all our questions and kept us on schedule as we toured the museum.
My private tour of the Prado Museum with Stefania was outstanding. Stefania brought out so many aspects of the paintings, the paintings came alive. The history of Spain ties so much with many of the paintings and Stefania also brought this out in her explanation. I was unfamiliar with the artist, Hieronymus Bosch, whose artwork is filled with fantastical imagery and biblical themes. I can't thank Stefania enough for providing a symbolic narrative of this surrealist painter. I was so intrigued by his artwork that I bought a book on this artist. I highly recommend a private tour because it will help enrich your knowledge of the masterpieces you are viewing at the Prado museum.
Highly recommend. My 26 yr old daughter and 28 yr old nephew and I all agree that Maria our guide was superb. We really enjoyed it. Of course the art is amazing at one of the great museums of the world, but Maria made it even more special.
The tour with Fernando was excellent! He was knowledgeable but entertaining. We really enjoyed our time at the Prado museum learning about the most important art pieces.
Stefi was fantastic. A wonderful experience. 4 of us, In english, introducing us through the ventures to the key works of the prado
Fernando was nothing short of fantastic! He made the Prado a fascinating experience for all of us (2 teens, 2 adults). He kept us all engaged, could talk about art history, every art piece in the museum and helped us all understand the significance of the Prado, its artists and the history and personalities behind the paintings. It was a world class experience. I HIGHLY recommend him for any group wishing to learn about the works at the Prado and art history!
We decided to do an 1h and 30' tour on Prado Museum and it was a great experience. It was our first time at the museum and we could appreciate and learn the most important paintings. Thanks to Maria for such an interesting experience. Really polite and very kind. If we come back to Spain again we'll repeat for sure.
Olaya was a fantastic guide to the art and history of the Prado. Her depth of knowledge on both subjects was absolutely amazing, and her level of professionalism speaks so highly of her and the high standards she holds herself to. We all left actually wanting to read up more about the various art pieces and know more than we do about art history.
Fernando was a knowledgeable, funny, and engaging guide. He gave us an amazing European art master class in two hours. If your party includes hard to motivate teenagers, this tour is a must.
What an experience! Our guide was really fancy, witty and knowledgeable. The tour, she said, is designed as an introduction to this big museum where everybody needs some help. What we learnt is usefull not just in the Prado, but everywhere, so we are absolutely delighted and thankful.
Since we met the tour was great. Goes around the highlights of a vast museum and the Best:the 1st thing the guide did was asking what did I Want to see. Beyond great, beyond easy-going. 5/5, I'd strongly recommend to to deep in Velázquez.
This was an interesting, time efficient way to navigate the Prado. Fernando was informative, patient and easy to meet up with.
I went into the museum not knowing anything about art let alone history ! Fernando was a gem and not only did he go over every fine detail. He did it to the point where I left the museum inspired to learn more. This tour was one of the highlights of me and my fiancé’s trip! You have to book a tour!!! If you are looking for the best tour of your life in one of the most prestigious institutions no need to look further just book !!!! I want to thank you for making my trip to Madrid one of the highlights of my life!! I left the museum so inspired to learn more I did research about Madrid and it’s rich history! Must book excursion well worth the investment. We are from America and I felt as if I was home!
Fernando was a great guide! He was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. He also shared historical contexts and significance as well as entertaining tidbits of some of the major art works in the museum. Highly recommend!
Fernando was an exceptional guide for our amazing private tour of the Prado. Post pandemic is the ideal time to visit. It felt like we had the whole museum to ourselves. Fernando is an extremely well informed guide. He brought to life the works of the masters. Outstanding!
Our visit to museum Prado was so much more interesting and so much better thanks to our guide Fernando! When we booked the tour with him we forgot to mention that we were also interested in Mythological Passions exhibition that was going on in the museum at the same time. Fernando added the visit to this exhibition as part of our tour and told us a lot of interesting information about paintings and artists that we observed! Thank you so much, Fernando, for going an extra mile for us, we deeply appreciated your efforts and willingness to change the planned tour to accommodate our interest! Fernando is very knowledgeable and passionate guide, highly recommend!
Francisco is extremely knowledgeable and knows his way around the Prado museum. We covered a lot of ground in 2 hours. I have done Prado and other museums before but highly recommend the private visit/tour.
Our tour was absolutely amazing. The guide contacted us days before just in case we had any special request, we had none, but still the tour was plenty of good quality details. We received much more than we paid.
My guide, Fernando, was an excellent choice by Viator. He is well educated in history of Spain, the art history and knew the background stories of each Artist and details of their lives and speaks excellent English. He has a very cordial, very polite and has a friendly personality. He started the tour with asking if I had any special needs (elevator instead of stairs), paced to my tempo, and especially asked if I had any 'favorite' pieces or requests to see certain pieces or artists in the Prado. Fernando is very well informed and intelligent and answered my million questions about Spain's history, culturally, politically, etc. and how it was influenced by events in the Old World and New World. He brought insight into each artist, their training, art patrons, etc. that made them vibrant and real. Fernando is an excellent guide/teacher and communicated before the tour and send a reminder that morning before the tour. Fernando gave me the best private tour of any museum I have ever experienced around the globe!
My whole family enjoyed this tour with Fernando, his insightful approaches were really interesting and the small size of the groups is definitely something.
Our guide was very knoleagble and he provided a very interesting tour. We asked him to go deeper on the Spanish Barroque (we thought that that is something unique in the Prado Museum) and he told us about the context and the art which that determinate context produced (Zurbaran, Velasquez, Murillo, Ribera...). We would totally recommend.
I have no other word: a masterwork of a visit. This was planned for my children to like art. The guide was the kindest and the nicest and he explained everything in a language that got 2 teenagers into it. The guide told us this is a new company, we wish them the best. Thank you so much.
My family came from Ireland and I wanted to do something special with them so I chose this, and I totally hit the target. I would totally recommend.
This is not the typical guide that you can easily substitute by the audioguide you can get at the museum: open for questions, always kind, very polite... Everything we could have asked for.
Prado Museum is majestic, so I got the chance. The price includes the ticket, then, what else one needs? I got amazed by Fernando's (the guide) vision: "Las meninas is the first mirror selfie ever", he's one of a kind too.
I've lived in Madrid for many years and always enjoy taking friends and family to the Prado. It's a great gem of a museum. This is the first time I've booked a guide, because it's the first time our party included a couple of teenagers who quie rightly would prefer to be distracted by other Madrid delights. The adults were highly impressed by the informative light touch approach to the conveying of xetailed information. Most impressive of all is how the guide related it to themes and jokes that our teenagers lapped up. Highly recommended
Yesterday, a group of friends decided to visit El Prado Museum. We were lucky enough to get a lovely guide, Fernando. The tour guide was incredible and the tour was extremely interesting and entertaining. If you are keen on art, or aren't that keen but feel you would like to know some more, I thoroughly recommend you try this out!! I'm sure we will be back in the near future!
Nuestra guía tiene gran conocimiento de historia del arte. 100% recomendado para aquellos que deseen profundizar en los temas de interés.
Realizamos visita privada al museo Del Prado con la guía MARÍA. Excepcional! Muy amena si forma de explicar, y muy amable. Repetiremos seguro! 100% recomendable!!
An incredible experience, we left happy having enjoyed the museum and having learned a lot. It is absolutely worth hiring a private guided tour to fully enjoy a cultural space as spectacular as the Prado. Thank you so much!!!
We have had an excellent visit with a tour in the time of the great painters contemplating some of their masterpieces. Excellent explanation and highly recommended if you want to take advantage of the visit to the Prado.
Fernando was very pleasant in the visit. He made a very good selection of painters and pictures to see. He chose the tour very well.
Great quality guided tour with a very friendly guide who puts at ease.. he builds his presentation as a story that we enjoy listening to end to end.. I recommend .
Lovely! It was a wonderful experience. Fernando, the guide, is a great professional, knows a lot about art, he is also very pleasant, which made the visit seem short, although it lasted more than two hours. It is a highly recommended guide and a great category. Definitely a great choice!
It was an amazing experience! We'll repeat without a second thought. The culture is safe and this way it is also more than fun! We learned a lot.
100% recommended. It is a perfect time to take advantage of these visits. We asked him in particular to explain us a little more in Murillo’s works and he did so, customizing the visit to our tastes. A guide with whom we learned a lot and very nice and close.
It's a big museum. It can't be done in a day. I watched it in half a day and two days, but I missed it. Hare and horn, it's huge. Cameras are not allowed. Tickets are cheap to visit three museums in Madrid. Senior discounts are also available. If you want to watch the show for a short time, you need to investigate beforehand.
A real pleasure : professional , happening, fun... A pleasant and full of stories. He's been able to hook up and hold the attention of our teenage group... an art. We have understood and learned. Super recommended.
Fernando is a guide who, in addition to knowing, knows how to explain and transmit. Nice to visit anything with him. The time of the visit becomes short and when it ends you want to repeat.
A simple but also very complete way to approach the main works that form the Prado collection. Fernando is quite a professional who made the visit very entertaining. According to my son it was "The best tour ever" Thank you very much:)
Very good. The experience has been especially rewarding. The knowledge gained has made me feel very comforted.
A recommended tour to the maximum, great value for money and for all levels of knowledge. We were a group of friends, some of us already knew the museum and others, however they are those who usually flee from museums. And that, in the Prado, can be a problem hahahahaj We did the tour with Fernando Camacho and, in addition to spending our time flying, even the two "discolos" came out acknowledging that they had had a great time. For those of us who already knew him, it has been a real delight to enjoy the jewel that is the Prado from Fernando’s expert eye. A freak, really.
A must in Madrid. They know what they are talking about, they are pedagogical and they make the tour enjoyable. Ideal for families
A unique family experience We thank brother Fernan for adapting this trip for our family Loved so much Greetings, sir.
It was a super enjoyable visit. Great value for money. It is highly recommended even if, as was my case, you already know the museum. I decided to hire the tour because friends not very fond of art were coming with me and in the end they were delighted. I would repeat and probably do it with another museum.
We toured the Prado Museum with Fernando Camacho... The explanations on his part were exceptional... Whenever we had any doubts, he responded kindly... We are from Costa Rica and Fernando also knew about our country, which made the tour more enjoyable and fun. We were delighted with the tour and Fernando. 100% recommended. Do not hesitate to look for it if you are going to take this tour.
