Overview

Visit and learn about two essential places in Madrid in one morning. We will start the day with a 90-minute tour of the Museo del Prado, seeing its most outstanding rooms and paintings. Special emphasis will be placed on the paintings that have in one way or another changed the history of art and become universal references. We will get to see works by Murillo, Velázquez, Goya, Rubens, and Tiziano among many others.

After a walking guided visit of the iconic places between the Prado museum and the palace, we will finish our journey with a visit to the Royal Palace, a gigantic building symbolic of the European monarchs, that will surprise us with its rich decoration and the number of rooms and halls it contains.

All of these visits will be made using points of preferential access, with official guides and with entrance fees included. This way, all that you have to worry about is enjoying Madrid and its beautiful monuments.

Viewing gorgeous paintings including Rubens, Goya & Valazquez. Too large of a group. Hard to hear tour guide on the earpiece.

Excellent way to see both sites on the same day and skip the line. Time was given to have a brief lunch in the Palace Cafe. Having a knowledgeable guide is a must especially for the Prado in order to learn much more about the art you see.

The Royal Palace part of the tour was excellent other than the fact that the place is simply overrun with so many other tourists. Everything was well explained and led. We were less impressed with the Prado part. The guide knew a lot but spent too long explaining every last detail on a few individual pieces. This coupled with the massive crowds led me to spend most of my time looking at OTHER pieces, perhaps not as "impressive" but IMO you don't have to know every detail about a piece in order to appreciate it.
