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.

Overview of your Madrid tour
If you want to discover the secrets of Prado, I am your guide! As one of my travellers said " he 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. . highly recommended. . " I've guided in the Prado Museum thousands of times, and my eyes have discovered hidden messages that I'm going to share with you thus could make you understand how this magnificent minds created this master pieces. We'll experience the fine tasting of the good art. The art that Spanish Kings collected during centuries to beautify their Palaces. They commissioned all this canvases as they were the holders of the most powerful Monarchy in Europe. The collection of value art pieces started from the 15 c. onwards. All this is exhibited in Prado, a building of the enlightenment period, worthy to see!

I highly recommend Carlas as a tour guide! He guided us through the Prado Museum as first time visitors and tailored a tour specifically to the needs of our group of students. We highly enjoyed his knowledge of the museum and paintings as well as his good sense of humor. We could not have wished for a better guide! I'm sure to book again with Carlos next time I'm in Madrid again with a new group.
