Private Madrid in a Day: Prado Museum, Historic Center & Royal Palace

The tour started promptly at 1130am. David, the tour guide, was amazing. As we were walking from the first place to the second place, he showed and talked about many historical sights and figures. We were very impressed! Overall, amazing experience and would highly recommend David as the tour guide.

David was wonderful. Kind and informative and answered every question. We knew so much about Madrid and its history by the end of the tour.

David was our tour guide. He was very informative. We saw the most important parts of the Prado Museum and the Royal Palace.

I ended up having a private tour all to myself and it was awesome! The tour was very great and I learned a lot of new information.

What an excellent tour! David, our tour guide was absolutely wonderful, one of the best we have ever had. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.

This was so cool! I have been to the Prado Museum in Madrid several times, but this is the first time without the hoards of people and the loud noises of people talking. Absolutely amazing!!<br /><br />Alfonso was our guide for about 1.5 hours and he did a stellar job explaining the more popular paintings at the Prado (that including the Meninas and the Adam and Eve of Tiziano and Rubens and the room with the dark paintings of Goya to name a few). He had excellent explanations and I definitely learned something new (even after again coming several times and the most recent being last year!) and saw things in each painting that I never noticed.<br /><br />It was definitely a WOW moment that I was able to get sooooo close to El Bosco’s Garden of Earthly Delights and Velasquez’s Meninas and enjoy the quietness of the Prado that I have never experienced since my first time visiting and experiencing it twenty years ago.<br /><br />A definite must do and Alfonso will make sure you get the most (without sensory overloading you because the Prado can be ultra overwhelming with so many pieces there!) out of your time with him at the Prado!
