Wonderful tour with Pablo - Pablo brought the artwork in the Prado to life! His knowledge was vast and he imparted it on to a couple of art novices so well that we learned so much and enjoyed it immensely. Thank you Pablo!

Best tour ever! - Me and my family booked this tour with Pablo and to say it was amazing is an understatement. My family knows nothing about art and a few of us didn’t really want to go to an art museum but Pablo was able to bring to life concepts and art in a way that engaged us all. We all agreed that this was the best tour we’ve ever been on and cannot recommend it more!

Wonderful way to experience the Prado! - This was a great experience! Pablo is a knowledgeable guide. He knows the museum and the art extremely well and helped us look at it with new eyes. He used a headset so we could hear him clearly over the crowds and large tours. He politely and skillfully navigated the rooms for the perfect perspective of each piece. Of note — once the tour is over, you can stay and experience the museum on your own. It’s an amazing museum, but I would have been lost without seeing it first with Pablo. We are so glad we booked this tour!

Favourite tour in Madrid! - This tour was incredible! I love art but my travelling companion was perhaps a bit more neutral. Pablo’s tour was perfect for both of us because he went into a good amount of detail (good for me) but also in an interesting and engaging way that explained how to approach interpreting art (good for my companion). Can’t imagine seeing the Prado without this tour! I rarely love a guide so much that I would book a private tour without hesitation but I would certainly do so with Pablo (who I understand also does private tours of other art museums).

A special guide for a very amazing museum - We had a wonderful tour of the Prado with your very experienced and interesting guide, Pablo. He made the paintings come alive with all the artists background stories. He is very very recommended, especially for those who are not art aficionados, such as my husband, who was fascinated.

What an amazing tour! - Pablo was a fabulous guide! And having a small group was such an advantage. He taught us a LOT in the most enjoyable way. And as a small group we could ask questions and have discussions. This was by far my favorite guided tour — and I have taken many.
