Tour description

  • Did you know that Velazquez 's "Las Hilanderas" hides a mythological story?
  • Can you discover the little man doing his business in a Patinir painting?
  • Do you know that there is egg yolk from 600 years ago in "The Annunciation" by Fra Angelico?
  • Have you ever noticed the moving floor in Tintoretto 's "Lavatorio"?
  • Why does watching Rogier Van der Weyden 's "The Descent" give you a feeling of immediate instability?


You will discover this and many more things when you tour the Prado Museum with me. With this visit:

1. You will see the Prado's most famous works of art (among the thousands on display). Great masterpieces .

2. You will discover the hidden secrets and the most beautiful stories they hide.

3. You will enjoy for 2 hours without getting tired, overwhelmed, or lost!!

Important:

  • Buy the ticket in advance from the website, it is 15 euros for the general ticket and 7.5 for the reduced price (if you buy with a discount such as a youth card, over 65s, etc., you will have to go to the ticket office, calculate the time!)
  • Be very punctual.
  • Wear comfortable shoes.




Please keep in mind that if you are not definitely going to attend the tour you have booked, it is very important that you cancel in advance, this way you will give other people the opportunity to do it and you will also provide your Guru with spaces and availability.

Es imposible verlo todo en 2 horas,pero Carlos te hace un resumen y te va dando las pinceladas necesarias para entender la pintura y los pintores. Ha sido muy atento ,siempre preguntándote si va bien,si me gusta el recorrido,las explicaciones e involucrándote de una manera divertida en los cuadros. Majísimo. Todo un acierto con Carlos. Pa repetir otro día.
