Madrid was the first threshold of the journey, but it was not merely a first stop. I felt it to be more of an intellectual gateway than a transit city. There, the Prado Museum became the true entrance, not only into Spain, but into the spiritual atmosphere I needed. For me, Goya was the most important presence in Madrid, not merely as a famous artistic name, but as a penetrating eye into human pain, fear, power, violence, and the breaking of the spirit. That is why having a private guide for the Goya tour was of great importance, because art here was no longer simple viewing, but interpretation, reflection, and understanding. In Madrid I realized that the journey had to begin with art before entering architecture, and with seeing before entering feeling. The Prado was preparing me for what was to come later: how an image can carry history, and how beauty can reveal a wound instead of concealing it. THANKS to Sonia, she was lever and well knowledge, presented Goya with efficient. I was hesitant in the beginning, but i was not able to understand with an efficient Guide. "5 Stars" Thanks, Sonia, you are on my to-do list next journey. Kind Regards Mohamed
We enjoyed every minute of our visit to the Museo del Prado thanks to Sonia Lopez-Pelaez Rodil. Sonia showed us the museum in a way we could never have experienced it ourselves. She was engaging, informative and lovely all around. I would highly recommend taking a guide with you and if you have the opportunity, go with Sonia.
My wife and me had the chance to make a supperb visit of the Prodo museum with the professional guide Mrs Sonia Lopez-Pelaez Rodil. We learned a lot about Spanish painters Tiziano, Velazquez, Murillo and Goya. The time flew by. We can highly recommend a personal tour with M. Lopez-Pelgez Rodil.
Excelent tour of El Prado museum at a reasonable price . Very informative. In future, I will definetely hire Sonia for further tours around Madrid.
Sonia guided me through the art museum during a pandemic, we had to wear masks. She observed the rules well and ensured that I did the same. She was very knowledgeable about the paintings, their subjects, the painters and the historical context. She was brilliant at summarising the broad sweep of history and the dramatic moments of change and transformation, showing how a particular work fitted the era. She opened my mind to the techniques of perspective and light and the special effects of the masters of painting. She speaks excellent English and overcame the difficulty of masks by speaking very clearly, by using gestures and movement, and by making really strong eye contact - her expressive eyes said as much as most people’s whole faces. Whether describing the bleak despair of Goya’s black paintings, or the joyous sensuality of Rubens’ Three Graces, she took me on an emotional journey as well as an intellectual one. The tour has opened doors for me, and I will continue the journey . . . Highly recommended.
The museum is spectacular; it has unique works of art, and we recommend Sonia as a guide, an expert in art and an excellent person.
A very useful visit for the hour and a quarter that lasts. Very well explained and very open to further information. Very grateful to Sonia López-Peláez.
Thanks to our guide Sonia , sympathy and expertise concentrated in an hour among the most beautiful paintings of the 700! A fascinating experience
Sonia was amazing. He taught us so much about the main works and was always aware of us. Thank you Sonia, 100% recommended!
Sonia guided us on a private tour for 1.5 hours visiting the most interesting in the Museum. Murillo, Velázquez, Goya, El Greco and some others. Oh, great.
Sonia was an excellent guide, and explained everything in detail. She did a fantastic job at explaining everything to us in English.
Sonia is very professional and engaging. Thank you for the great experience. We highly recommend it to fully enjoy the visit of the Prado.
Wonderful experience! We were lucky enough that Sonia explained the works my son studies at school, adapted to what we needed
It's worth it because you appreciate things you don't see. Then you can visit quietly and look at things that were explained. The guide, Sonia offered to ask you throughout the day anything else that might interest us
We had an excellent experience of touring the Prado Museum guided by 1.30 minutes and were worth it as we could enjoy and understand each painting that Sonia explained in detail. We left very happy.
In 1h30 we admired the essential works of Prado thanks to an original route that allows us to better understand the evolutions and influences of these great masters of painting like Velasquez and Goya. Sonia speaks excellent French which was perfect for us.
Nice, pleasant and competent person, in addition to the tour he gave important information to continue the holiday... super Sonia, thank you
Thanks to Sonia, we had a unique experience visiting the Prado. Her explanations allowed us to make the most of the wonderful paintings she selected for us. I highly recommend
Sonia was truly a fantastic guide. The visit to the Prado museum with her was a wonderful experience, a perfectly explained journey through different eras and styles. Super recommended!
We had Sonia, a great guide and very pleasant and interesting your guide, you are not bored at all. We found it outside the Museum, it offered its services and we were very happy, it will never be the same to enter a Museum alone, as with a guide that explains everything very well. Sounds great.
Thank you to Sonia for her guidance during the visit. We were with children and wanted to visit the meadow museum. Thanks to it, we enjoyed for an hour and a half the main works, and their explanations, addressed to everyone, but especially to them; so it was a very pleasant visit. Without your guidance, we would not have enjoyed the visit so well. When we return to Madrid, we will repeat.
I had the pleasure of taking a guided tour of the Miseo del Prado with Sonia Lopez. The visit was very interesting: Sonia is a very knowledgeable and nice guide. He customized the itinerary according to my interests and also gave me advice on what to visit in Madrid. I recommend the experience to everyone!
He gave us a visit to the Prado Museum, it was excellent. From the beginning, we noticed his experience, as he helped us to get tickets and spend saving the queue. It is very necessary to have a guide to understand the contexts and meanings of works and artists. The guide was very prepared and made the visit very naturally. Highly recommended!
Extraordinary experience with Sonia Lopez by the Prado museum. Interesting anecdotes about all the paintings and a great knowledge of the subject. Without it our visit would not have been the same. I recommend it.
The experience of the visit to the Pradocon Museum Sonia López-Peláez Rodil has been excellent, with an accurate, agile, personalized story, a very professional Service.
I was with Sonia by myself and it was wonderful. Great communication and treatment. The explanations of the very interesting works and I asked for the artists/works/themes that interested me and adapted the route for my interests. Just great and worth a lot, I recommend it 100%.
The guided tour with Sonia López Peláez Rodil made my first visit to the museum a magical one. She appeared as an angel and absolutely professionally and with an absolute mastery of matter and time she showed us the highlights. Highly recommended by Yolanda, Irma and Maria from Puerto Rico!!!
Very interesting visit, very nice person, kind and caring for his customers. Passionate about her profession she passed on her knowledge. Thank you very much. Elise and Julie
Our guide Sonia Lopez- Pelaez was very professional and friendly, made our visit very interesting and enjoyable
Sonia has shown us the most emblematic paintings of "The Reunion" of the Prado Museum, we have enjoyed learning each work in detail in its historical context. We'll repeat with her as soon as we can. Thanks again, Sonia:)
Sonia is an excellent guide. She showed us famous works but also lesser-known paintings, and her explanations were very interesting. All in very good French. We will surely call on his services again! Thank you!
Today we shared a visit with Sonia. Highly recommended for its good professionalism and great knowledge of the works explained. It has made us enjoy and learn both us and our children. Congratulations on your good work!!! The next visit we will repeat without hesitation.
We were paying a visit in the meadow with Sonia. It was very interesting, he told us a lot of things we didn't know. Would definitely repeat again!
The visit to the Prado has been an extraordinary experience: it has been a rediscovery although it had been more times. Sonia as a guide has focused on details and we have been able to observe nuances that we did not imagine.
Thank you, Sonia, for discovering so many things hidden in the paintings... A luxury El Prado these days.
Amena, and good professional. I have been to the Prado but today I learned very curious details Thanks to Sonia.
We did a guided tour with Sonia at El Museo del Prado and it was an extraordinary experience. It is very friendly, but especially in one hour we enjoyed much more than others in many more hours. It was wonderful. I have already recommended it to friends and family.
