Overview

This extraordinary experience allows you to roam the illustrious halls of Spain's most revered art museum an entire hour before the public is allowed inside.

This was an amazing experience! My husband and I went with a group of about 15, and it was so wonderful to get up close to the art and be able to take our time with it with no crowds. Our tour guide Beatriz was amazing as well; she gave lots of fascinating information about each painting that she highlighted and was very knowledgeable and fun. Unforgettable—a highlight of our trip to Madrid.

This was one of my favorite tours of all time. The ability to access the Prado a full hour for opening, with a great guide, was amazing. We essentially had the Prado to ourselves (15 people in the group), and Adam did a fantastic job of guiding us through the museum highlights. Adam was extremely knowledgeable and engaging, and the 90 minutes flew by. I would do this tour again in a heart beat!

One of the top moments of our 3-week vaction in Spain. Being virtually alone is the corridors of the Prado is quite a feeling, but it was Alphonso who lifted this to being memorable. He is extremely knowledeable and very passionate. He elevated our undestanding of the art and the artists. I cannot adequately describe how unique an experience this was

The early access tour to the Prado was fantastic. Our guide, Adam, was waiting in the prearranged spot and we toured the Prado in a small group prior to it opening to the general public. The guide was outstanding. A truly professional guide. We had wonderful commentary as we moved through the gallery observing the Prado’s masterpieces. I would recommend this tour for a very special experience of your visit to the Prado.
