Blanca is amazing ! Meeting Spot was ez to find in front of museum . Blanca is so kind. Very knowledgeable about paintings especially the most important ones. I love that she was very kind to my kids and included them in everything. Her presentation style is very interesting ; she asks questions to spark your curiosity. Loved the tour !
The field trip was very knowledgeable and courteous. He guided us through a selection of wonderful paintings telling us the story and offering contextual elements that made our visit enjoyable and meaningful
The tour is well worth it. Our guide, Aitana (I hope I spelled her name correctly), was phenomenal in providing much-needed context for each of the works of art discussed. She demonstrated a deep knowledge of the information presented and was able to answer public questions with ease and effectiveness. Her expertise and engaging explanations significantly enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the art. I highly recommend both the tour and our guide, Aitana. Rick G.
I felt cheated...I thought we were going to be in my group (4) and in the end we were 10 and the guide better focus on the art and stop with stories and stories.... and I think he should ask what we want to see and agree not to show the 10 paintings that he is interested in?
We were lucky enough to take a tour of the Prado with Juan Antonio and it was an excellent experience. His way of guiding is pleasant, close and very informative, as if we were talking among friends. We went with a 10 year old boy and at the end of the tour he said to us in surprise, "It's been two hours already!!!?" - He loved it! Juan Antonio managed to capture the interest of everyone, young and old, with his knowledge and charisma. Without a doubt, when we come back, we will look for him again. highly recommended!
David was as art historian, and it showed. Good sense of humor. Was able to guide us to the highlighted pieces of the museum in the alotted 1.5 hr tour. Obviously he concentrated on the Spanish masters, but would have liked to have seen other master works also.
We could simply move inside skipping all the line, it was amazing to see Lois our guide had do much information on the museum and it's works. He stopped at each important work and explained in detail about the work and why it was important to be at the museum. It is practically not possible to complete the museum in 1.5hrs but understanding the important works made it a satisfying experience and then at the end he left us for s self exploration tour
The Guide was wonderfull ,gave us a lot of details about the paintings.She gave us time to sit when she felt that We are getting tired . We all were very happy to have choose this experience and lucky to be in a small group Gongratulations
Great experience! Magnificent works of art! Our guide Bianca vey knowledgeable, pleasant and gentle. Everything ran smoothly.
Great the visit with Beatriz at the Prado Museum. You can tell that she knows every detail of each work and that she likes to explain it to others. 100% recommendable.
Ticketing was easy. Guide was well informed. Please teach people how to adjust volume on the headsets before starting the event. I missed much of what was said because the guide did not help me when I asked him to increase his audio output volume because I couldn't hear him.
We loved our guide's extensive knowledge of the masters and her unique commentary. The meeting point was easy to find and the tour was just the right length for an overview of the museum.
Alexandra was great - she had great knowledge and enthusiasm- great insights into the artists and their works and her love if the museum and art was very obvious.
Our guide, Anna- Christina, was so knowledgeable and she made our visit a true experience. Booking, ticketing, meet and greet was very easy. Definitely the best way to see the amazing art at the Prado.
It took longer to get the Skip the Line tickets than I was expecting. Those queuing in the other lines actually got in before we did because the assistant to our guide took ages to get our tickets. Otherwise the guide was very nice and knowledgeable
Guide who made us look at the classical highlights in the Prado with different eyes. Thank you Eva! Headout was a pleasant introduction to their website.
Our guide David was excellent. Very informative and entertaining also. Our only issue was the quality of the sound with the audio equipment , it did not block out much of the surrounding noise. We joined another tour elsewhere and the sound quality was very good.
We had the pleasure of being guided by Stefania who in addition to being very knowledgeable and professional was engaging and personable.
We loved this great museum and Ander is the best guide we ever had. He is smart and he has a lot of background information which he told and showed us in a spectular way. MANY THANKS to ANDER!!!
Good day the experience was very interesting, Crhistina's ability to introduce the visitor to the paintings was both academic and artistic appreciation at its best.
Ander did a perfect job in navigating the group thru the museum and providing information on the pictures in an entertaining and easy to follow manner. It was fun and as promised by Ander we learned something. 😃 Thank you!
An extraordinary guide, knowledgeable and very attentive. Many thanks to him for his wonderful hospitality.🥰
It was nice to hear more background information on several important works of art. The guide did a very good job. It is unfortunate that you are walking with such a large group in an already crowded museum but after the tour you have plenty of time to walk around on your own.
The guided tour was shorter than 1,5 hours, probably more like 1 hour and the group was 16 people so too big to stay close to the guide and ask questions.
All in all an excellent experience. Enjoyed learning from the Guide, Laura, as she had some great insight into some of the paintings in the Prado. You ask for photos below, however, we were not allowed to take any photos.

The professionalism of Angel our guide
Our guide Patricia was simply amazing. Her knowledge of the history of the palace, as well as her in depth explanations of the paintings in the Prado was truly enlightening. Igor both a history, and art history lesson in one day.
Guide was excellent. Best time for Madrid is January.
The guide. Excellent. Reminded me of my best teachers. I learned and enjoyed both tours.
The tour was fantastic giving a good history of the pairings and architecture
The experience was a bit delayed but the guide was very entertaining and funny. I would have liked to see more artwork in the museum but there wasn't much time.
Exactly as advertised. Once we found the meeting place, we were a comfortable walkiing distance to the Palace. Our entry was quick, we did not wait in any queu, we just walked right in. Our guide Maria was friendly, informative, and was clearly excited to be providing the tour.
Excellent guides at both Prado and Royal Palace. Fully and effectively organized and executed. Thank you
The Tour Guide Alex was amazing. Knew all the questions I had and made it funny and entertaining.

Elisa showed us the Prado's main works in great detail. She also introduced us to women painters, which was a big plus for the visit. We really enjoyed it, and thanks to Elisa.
Our guide was knowledgeable and fun! She engaged everyone in a great way
Our guide was great in her job with excellent English. What we missed was a 5 minutes bresk to drink some water.
The guide was not what I expected, the experience was very slow and repeated the facts over and over again. We spent 2 hours on the same floor of the Queen Sofia Museum .... and the explanations lacked detail.
I preferred the visit to the Prado Museum because it was set up differently albeit by the same guide. It was also richer in information about the historical and cultural background of the time when the works were created. The first part at the Reina Sofia museum, I found the museum's reception of the group poorly organized, with lots of downtime. The guide in presenting the works gave so much space for open-ended questions to the group about the feelings the paintings conveyed that I found it scattershot. The guide's knowledge of the works was impeccable.
Alicia was the best guide! She was very knowledgeable and made the tour of each museum fun for everyone. Would love to have her as a guide again!
Great guide. Very knowledgeable. Thank you.
The experience was amazing! Ravi was excellent, both tours was great! Recomended
Bypass ticket lines and enjoy a guided tour of both museums in your preferred language.

The advertisement for the tour said it had audio in Portuguese, but at the time of the tour it only had English and Spanish. I couldn't understand everything and felt frustrated.
