Rubén was a wonderful tour guide - he brought us through the highlights of the Prado sharing some great history and background to the paintings and the Prado itself. He was very kind with my older mother who travels a bit more slowly, making sure she had time to rest or sit while he explained the paintings. Would highly recommend an outing to the Prado with Ruben!

Our tour guide, Davis, was simply amazing! His enthusiasm for art history was evident. He was super knowledgeable and not only knew art practices in English and Spanish, but in German and French as well. I would give him 6 stars if I could.

    Amazing tour

    Priscilla_T, Apr 2026
    It ended up being a private tour because the other party didn’t show up. One of my favorite experience on my solo trip. The guide was very polite, knowledgeable, and patient with all of my numerous questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide.

    Fascinating museum enhanced by our guide

    Steve_H, Mar 2026
    We met our guide who asked what we wanted before taking us on the tour tailoring the information with knowledge and a little humour. Strongly recommend both the museum and the guided tour

    our guide was nice and friendly. he was passionate to explain and gave information in an attractive way while on the walking tour. he also contacted us ahead of time on whatsapp and arranged buying the entrance tickets for us to the Prado museum which was very convenient. the tout didn’t include the price of the entrance tickets which was stated in the description of the tour.

    So worth it!!!!

    Nicki_K, Dec 2025
    Absolutely loved this tour! Learned so much! Our guide was so knowledgeable and friendly. Can’t wait to return to the Prado!

    Great tour

    Ruben was great and kept everyone engaged even though we were all jet lagged. Excellent tour guide!!

    Good tour but too short for such a big venue

    Francine_K, Oct 2025
    The Prada was very crowded because it was a holiday. I recommend trying to do this tour during the week when it is not a holiday. Our guide was good and knowledgeable but this is such a large museum that if you want to spend time looking at any particular artist, the tour is too short. This was a good intro to the Prada tour but I recommend a much longer tour if you are a real art lover.

    Great tour

    Kathryn_H, Oct 2025
    Tour was fantastic way to see highlights of the Prado. Our guide, David, was excellent. He was knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend him!

    Perfect quick and informational intro to the museum!

    Deyvis Rivera was an impeccable guide with encyclopedic knowledge of his subject, extreme kindness, and most importantly clear spoken English.

    Very Informative Museum Tour

    Kevin_G, Jul 2025
    Dayvis was an amazing guide. He gave the stories behind the paintings and helped us to understand them better. He was very thorough. He was also a genuine, kind, and friendly person. I would highly recommend him to show you through the Prada.

    Highly recommended

    Lisa_E, May 2025
    Deyvis gave an oustanding tour of the Prado! With such an extensive collection at this museum, he was able to select some of the most salient pieces to give a very well rounded experience in a relatively short time. His expertise and knowledge of the history, iconography and artistic techniques was beyond the pale. Cannot say enough good things about him!

    Sheila_O, May 2025
    Pepe is extremely knowledgeable and has a great sense of humor. We really enjoyed our time with him.

    Deyvis is a great tour guide for Del Prado

    Phillipa_S, May 2025
    Deyvis was an awesome guide, very informative with lots of good stories. The tour was a good pace with time to see the major works and with a smaller group was good. I would highly recommend the tour with this guide.

    Aimee_S, Apr 2025
    Reuben is knowledgeable and interactive. He engages with all tour members to make learning about the paintings fun. Our group with teens loved the museum. Thank you Reuben for a wonderful tour!

    Carolyn_B, Apr 2025
    Very informative! Davies was so knowledgeable and showed us the highlights. I recommended Viator to some friends who were planning a trip to Madrid.

    No show guide

    CJ_F, Oct 2024
    The most memorable part of our Prado tour was our guide not showing up. We arrived 20 minutes before our 10:00 tour at the assigned meeting place, the Goya statue. After waiting until 10:15, and after 3 phone calls, all unanswered, we bought tickets and toured the Prado on our own. We are owed a full refund. Be sure to use another company, not Viajes Gran Via.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    We apologise but it was a misunderstanding, the guide was there the whole time, waiting for you more than half an hour, he sent us his location and also phoned you, but you didn´t respond. Sincere apologies but in this case we cannot make a refund.

    Easy going and comfortable

    Cheri_M, Oct 2024
    Davis was kind and added humor to the informative tour. Worth the cost. The Prado is very memorable.

    Davis was an absolutely fantastic guide! We was so knowledgeable and provided a fun spin on the tour. We ended up being the only people on the group tour. We would love to specifically request him again on our next trip to Madrid
