Essential Madrid + Prado Museum Guided Tour

David was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about Madrid and its history…we enjoyed our tour very much and would highly recommend David as a guide

David was fantastic - perfectly planned tour that ended at the Prado where he beautifully tied together all of the sites we had seen and the history he had covered. He also made sure to leave time to stop for snacks and a little shopping, which was much appreciated.

David is an exceptional tour guide if you’re planning a visit to the Prado Museum. David weaves Spain’s rich history with the stories behind some of the museum’s most celebrated works. His ability to “teach art” is excellent for all levels of art understandings. David focused the tour on specific works instead of attempting to cover the entire museum which made for an un-rushed, better experience, in our opinion (2 adults and a teenager). David has a gift for placing each work in its broader context, showing how they reflect the political, social, and cultural climate of their time.

Our tour with David was exceptional. There were seven of us (four adults and three teens) and despite the brutal Madrid heat we had a wonderful time! David gave us a crash course in Spanish history, took us to several major sites in Madrid and finished with an amazing lecture on several famous Spanish artists and their work at the Prado. Even the teenagers were intrigued! He tied the artistic portions of the tour seamlessly into the historical material and presented it all clearly - it was the best kind of class! Highly recommend David and his walking tour of Madrid!

David (Louis) was fantastic. Very passionate about Madrid and all that it has to offer. Very patient. Very knowledgeable. We will try to hook up with him again when we return.

David was a terrific tour guide. His knowledge of Spanish history and link it to the City sights and then to the guided tour through the Prado. It couldn't have been any better. I would give him a 10/5!
