Head straight into the Prado with your guide and small group an hour before the doors open to the public. With an art historian to share the hidden stories and context behind every masterpiece, you’ll have the knowledge and space you need to fully appreciate the Prado’s incredible collection without the usual crowds. Have the iconic Las Meninas all to yourself, marvel at every hidden detail of The Garden of Earthly Delights up close, and view Goya’s haunting Black Paintings alone in a silent gallery. All of this and so much more awaits you on this once-in-a-lifetime early access Prado tour. Your Prado tour ends just as the first public guests are entering the museum for the day.

If you chose the option that incudes only the Prado Museum when booking, feel free to continue exploring the vast collection on your own, or head out into Madrid to see even more of the vibrant Spanish capital with one bucket-list experience already checked off your list.

If you choose the Reina Sofía option when booking, you'll continue your tour and art journey through Madrid. Walk along the Paseo del Prado, Madrid's most picturesque boulevard and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as your guide shares stories of its cultural and historical significance. Admire the elegant architecture and vibrant atmosphere as you transition between Madrid’s iconic museums.

It's time to discover the Reina Sofía’s contemporary masterpieces. Skip the line and immerse yourself in Spain’s 20th-century art scene. Your guide will introduce you to the works of Picasso, Dalí, and Miró, with a special focus on the emotional and historical power of “Guernica.” Learn how these artists revolutionized art and captured the essence of their time. This seamless, small-group tour is designed for art lovers seeking a deeper connection with Madrid’s artistic legacy.
