Alicia was an excellent guide. Did a wonderful job paring down the entire museum to the historical and pertinent artistic pieces, using chronology and comparison of artwork evolution. Also did a great job with conceptual explanations despite English not being her native tongue.

Alicia was a wonderful guide to the Prado Museum. I had been to the museum on several occasions before, but it was the first time for my family. We all had a very engaged tour with lots of opportunities for questions and discussion. Wonderful experience!

Full description

Join a private tour of the Prado Museum, one of the greatest art museums in the world housing a great collection of European western art, from the 12th to the 19th century. View the many masterpieces here and listen to explanations of each work provided by your experienced guide.
Besides works of the major artists like Hieronymus Bosch, Raphael, El Greco, Rubens, Roger Van der Weyden, and Dürer, you will get to know everything about Spain's most famous painters; Goya and Velazquez.
You will encounter "The Third of May 1808" which, complete in 1814, is about the execution by Napoleon's troops painted by Goya with great drama in which he contrasts the coldness of the soldiers in gray uniforms with the colorful anonymous citizens who are going to die.
You will also discover the most famous work of Velazquez, "Las Meninas", which is a scene depicting a normal day in the Alcázar of Madrid with members of King Philip IV's family and Velazquez himself. "Las Meninas" has been the inspiration for later artists like Goya and Picasso.
