I was born in Madrid in 1973, living all my life in this wonderful, magical and historical city. Degree in tourism and with more than 20 years of experience in taking care and guiding people, I will be focused on making your visit an amazing time to remember. History, traditions, art, gastronomy and many more. . . I'm ready to share a good time with you showing up the reality of my city and surroundings. I started out being a tour guide 20 years ago, since then I have travelled around the world, I have visited places on the 5 continents diving into the culture of exotic countries and I realized that being guided by a local is the way to explore by first hand a new city. I experienced by myself what everyone of us expects when being guided. I have been so many times a tourist like everyone else when travelling.

I walked Prado Museum thousands of time, first when I was a child and now guiding thousands like you who want to understand why this Museum is so well recognized as one of the most important worldwide. Throughout this tour you will understand the secrets of this museum briefly and easily. Why with me? I am passionate about it, I love this place and you'll be too at the end of this experience! The art that Spanish Kings collected during centuries to beautify their Palaces is outstanding. They commissioned all this paintings to the best Painters as they were the holders of the most powerful Monarchy in Europe. Lucky family, weren't they? Now all this amazing spanish heritage is exhibited in a beautiful and historic building projected during the Enlightenment period. . and we'll admire it as only beautyness can be. I am waiting for you: join my tour and live this art journey with a local and expert guide fully licensed!!
Carlos was wonderful. He met us right on time. We had a wonderful tour of the Prado, with him giving us a ton on information on styles and techniques. We learned a lot. He kept going past our tour end time to make sure he showed us all that he wanted us to see.
Carlos - I last visited the Prado 2021. At the time, there were no crowds. This year, I brought my wife and daughter and we had the holiday crowds in full force. Thankfully, Carlos had a plan and provided a memorable tour and masterclass on not only the must-see works but also some of the supporting works/artists and their influences. We had a very enjoyable visit and Carlos was an outstanding guide and host.
Great experience with Carlos!!! He is very professional, passionate and definitely enjoys being a tour guide. Carlos exceeded our expectations by explaining the important details of the paintings, in a chronological order and within the historic context. He went beyond the basic tour and provided insight of some of the paintings and artists. He answered our questions in a simple way for us to understand. We highly recommend Carlos for El Prado Museum.
