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.

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!

Muchísimas gracias a Jesús por la calidad y la variedad de sus comentarios. Ha conseguido que mis dos hijos, Anna y Martin, se olvidarán por unos momentos de sus aparatos de distracción masiva. Nos quedaremos con un bonito recuerdo de esta visita Del Prado. Un saludo cordial

Contrate visita Privada por el Museo del PRADO de 2hr. Siendo de lo más satisfactoria, la experiencia de recorrer el museo del Prado de la mano de un guía Profesional.

Incidencias que están reflejadas en los lienzos pero que sin una indicación o guía pasan desapercibidas para la mayoría de los visitantes
