About this tour
A 2.5-hour guided tour of Madrid's Prado Museum with a maximum of 8 people per group. You'll walk through one of Europe's most significant art collections with a professional guide who focuses on the museum's most celebrated works. Entrance fees are included, and the small group size means you won't be herded through with crowds, though the tour itself doesn't cover temporary exhibitions and requires moderate walking fitness.
