Prado Museum guided tour with optional tapas or e-bike ride

4.5/5
62 reviews

Discover the Prado Museum on a guided tour available in English or Spanish, led by an expert guide. You can choose between two start times: a regular tour at 10.30 am or a small-group tour at 11.30 am, designed for a more personalised experience.

Over around 1 hour and 30 minutes, you'll explore a carefully selected range of the museum's most iconic works, with clear explanations to help you understand their historical and artistic context. The tour includes paintings by artists such as Velázquez, Goya, El Bosco and Rubens.

If you opt for the small-group tour, you can enhance your visit by adding optional activities tailored to your interests. Choose an e-bike tour of Retiro Park, offering a relaxed way to see this well-known green space, with stops at key points to enjoy the views and take photos. Alternatively, select a tapas tasting at a nearby local tavern, where you'll sample four traditional Spanish tapas served with a drink. You can also combine both options for a broader experience that brings together art, food and time outdoors.

    Er was niets dat we minder leuk vonden. We hadden een zeer enthousiaste kundige gids die geboeid haat verhaal deed, echt een aanrader. Prado is mooi en groot, zonder gids lijkt veel op hetzelfde.

    Het boeken van de excursie op zich verliep al moeilijk. Ook in het reisagentschap lukte het aanvankelijk niet. De gids sprak niet zo goed Engels en de audio-apparatuur werkte zeker niet perfect waardoor ze niet altijd verstaanbaar was. De gidse kende wel haar materie en vertelde over de schilderijen met veel enthousiasme en kennis. Prachtig museum waar je meerdere uren moet voor uittrekken. Zeker de moeite waard op een regenachtige dag in Madrid. Toch een aanrader.
