About this tour

Explore the Prado's masterworks with a dedicated guide in a private, two-hour tour tailored to your interests. You'll navigate the museum's vast collection at your own pace, encountering paintings by Velázquez, Goya, Murillo, Titian and El Greco. Rather than racing through galleries, this experience lets you linger with works that speak to you, whether you're drawn to Spanish Golden Age portraiture, mythological scenes or religious commissions. A professional guide contextualises what you're seeing without dictating the route.

What to expect

You'll enter the Prado with a guide who knows the collection intimately and can pivot to suit your interests. Rather than a fixed itinerary, you'll discuss what draws you—whether that's court portraiture, landscape, religious art or a particular era—and navigate accordingly. The guide provides historical and artistic context for individual paintings and the movements they represent, but doesn't lecture. Two hours is enough to see key works without fatigue. The museum can feel vast, so having someone familiar with its layout prevents the usual wandering.
