VIP Alone in the Prado: Exclusive Early Access Museum Tour

This is probably my 4th or 5th tour of the Prado and the 3rd time taking this same tour. Alfonso is by far the best guide in every possible way. The early access is beyond fantastic. And no one brings the Prado and key works to life like Alfonso. He is passionate, knowledgeable, engaging and masterful at creating a narrative/storyline.

Il tour è stato molto bello, passeggiare quasi in solitaria lungo i saloni del Prado è estremamente emozionante. Isabella, la nostra guida, è stata bravissima, simpatica, ci ha dato spiegazioni precise e molto ben dettagliate.

The meetup and checkin were seemless and our guide, Jaime, was well prepared. He had a depth of knowledge that allowed him to weave together Spanish history, art history, and the history of the Prado. It was lovely to be in the museum before it opened as Jaime was able familiarize us with the layout while he lead us to and described notable works fram Raphael, Goya, Bosch (and many, many others) with detail and stories that brought them to life in the context of their time. The pace was brisk and we covered a lot of ground. At the end of the tour (~1 hrs 45m) we were pleasantly surprised that our tickets would allow us to remain in the Prado as long as we liked.<br />Most definitely recommend - great value for money.<br />P.S. No photos because they are not permitted by the museum.

Could have touched on fact Mona Lisa painting by Leonardo student was in museum.
