Overview

I will show you a special selection of masterpieces in the best gallery in the world, while explaining the historical details of each painting, as well as the meaning and techniques used.

We will see not only the most important masterpieces in the Prado, but also some of my favorite and lesser-known pieces. You will enjoy some of the great masters: Bosch, Patinir, Rubens, Tiziano, Tintoretto, Veronese, El Greco, Goya, Velázquez ...very impressive!

And I have some other special surprises for you :-) My explanations of the legends will give you a fuller perspective of the art, and of Spanish history, overall.

    The excursion and the guide was just great. Highly recommend. If you are in Madrid, you definitely need to visit Prado, wonderful collection. But it is a big museum and excursion is really needed

    Our tour guide Jaime Buonaroti did an excellent job of describing the major works of art at the Prado Museum. His enthusiasm for art history made our tour so much more interesting and enjoyable. I would strongly recommend using Jaime for your Prado tour.

    What a fantastic experience. I have been on a tour with such a knowledgeable guide who happily answered all our questions and who cast the paintings in a new light with his detailed and informative presentation. Being in a small group of six was wonderful as we could all get close to Jamie and bathe in his extensive knowledge. Jamie is very personable and speaks very good English. The best introduction to the Prado that you could possibly get.

    Jaime was a very knowledgeable guide and we learned a lot. He made for a very enjoyable morning. I wouldn't go to the museum without hiring Jaime. Well worth it!

    We enjoyed a very knowledgeable and engaging tour with Jaime at the Prado. He clearly is a trained art historian, his selection was great, the information and interpretation of each piece was very complete and he was able to link it all together. It felt like a very enjoyable lecture! Would absolutely and highly recommend a tour with Jaime! Thank you!
