Madrid in a day sounded daunting, but our guide Maria hit so many highlights that we really felt that we got a great overview of things. She was very helpful as we navigated The Prado, explaining so much about the artwork and artists. As we walked through the historic area, she pointed out landmarks and provided a lot of the rich history. Ending at the Palace was amazing.

This class was great! Lots of fun and delicious food! We enjoyed it very much and learned a lot too.
Viator customer · Debbie · May 12, 2026 Excellent
Jaime led us through the tour with the VIP Prado option. It was very worth it! We were able to see all (or most?) of the most famous paintings in the Prado without any of the crowds. The tour of Palacio Read was just as interesting and engaging. As a couple with moderate interest in both history and art, this was an incredible tour and we really thank Jaime for his knowledge and enthusiasm for the entire tour.
