About this tour
A four-hour private tour threading together Madrid's two greatest art museums—the Prado and Reina Sofía—with a knowledgeable guide who reads the story of Spanish art across five centuries. You'll skip queues at both institutions and travel between them by private transfer, moving at your own pace through rooms of Velázquez, Goya, Picasso and beyond. The guide tailors commentary to your interests, whether you're encountering Old Masters for the first time or returning to familiar masterworks with fresh eyes.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at your accommodation and drives you to the Prado first, where you'll walk through galleries at a conversational tempo—stopping when something catches your interest, moving past what doesn't. The guide points out technical details and historical context that shift how you see each canvas. After roughly two hours, you transfer to Reina Sofía, where the focus shifts to modern and contemporary work. The same unhurried approach applies; you're never rushed. Expect active looking rather than passive listening.
