Expert tour on the history of the Museum and the art inside! - If you are fortunate enough to have Sonia Lopez-Pelaez Rodil as your Expert Guide at the Prado - you have hit the jackpot! We were extremely impressed with the shared experience. She listened to us and adjust the tour with some of our preferences in mind on the fly. She tied the artwork from different eras into the history of Spain and the history of the Pardo. Here explanation was especially keen with describing brushstrokes and changes to the Artist's works during their lifetime. We will be back at the Prado, and we will engage Sonia again for another tour.

Fantastic tour, Sonia is incredibly knowledgeable. - This is one of the best guided tours I have done in madrid and possibly even in all of Spain. Sonia is like an art history professor. She understands the history of the country, its relationships with other European nations, and how the history influenced the Art, the lives of the artist, and their approach to how they created these artworks. Rather than going through the entirety of the museum (which houses over 1500 pieces), she hand picked the most important ones and chose them in a way that was cohesive and flowed very well. I was accompanied by my 15 year-old daughter who has an interest in history, and she too was absolutely gob smacked with how good Sonia was. I would highly recommend her to anyone else in the future, you won’t regret it. and did I mention she speaks five languages?

Great private tour discovering El Prado museum - We had a wonderful private tour of El Prado museum with Sonia. She was excellent! We learned so much and not just about the art but also about the artists and story behind the paintings. For us, it was a really great way to learn about the history of it all. I’ve visited El Prado museum before, but always on our own. It truly makes a difference when visiting with someone as knowledgeable and engaging as Sonia. Thank you Sonia. We look forward to more tours in the future.

Great Tour with Knowledgeable and Helpful Guide - Great tour with a very knowledgeable and helpful guide. My slow pace of walking (and thinking 😆) was accommodated and I learned a lot. Is it worth paying extra for a private tour, tailored to your needs and preferences? Oh yes, a definite yes from me.

Suburb Prado Guide - Sonia is a highly experienced guide. She gives a very informative tour and made sure we had a real appreciation for The Prado and the magnificent art. We highly recommend having a guide for the museum and if at all possible make sure it is with Sonia!!

Exceptional Experience at the Prado Museum! - We were so happy we booked the audio guide with the tickets in advance. It provided a fantastic way to explore the museum's incredible collection. Otherwise you might feel lost among that amount of first-class art! The commentary was informative and engaging, offering valuable insights into the artworks and artists. T Highly recommend for both art enthusiasts and first-timers.
