Not doable by description
Dana_C
, Aug 2022
The tour company used a restaurant 35-45 min walking distance from the museum. The info provided did not let you know that . You only knew to show up at the restaurant by 3:30. There was not enough time to eat and make the meeting point in front on the museum at 4:15. What a joke . There was no room either for us to sit in the restaurant to taste the tapas . Basically, they were not expecting us . Do not do this tour !

Dear customer, The name of the bar and its address appear in the information on your voucher and in the tour description. With this information you can see where the bar is located, it is a restaurant in the center of Madrid. After the tasting is finished, you can take a walk to the Prado Museum, or if you prefer you can use transportation. We are sorry you did not like the experience and we hope you can give us another opportunity.

Definitely worth it, especially if you don’t have a lot of time in Madrid!

The guide Amaya was very enthusiastic about the artwork and told us interesting stories behind the art. We enjoyed her tour, she was absolutely lovely! My recommendation for the tour company is to make the tour up to half an hour longer so that it doesn’t feel so rushed and we have time to look at other works nearby. The guide had to talk very fast to get us through everything and it was sometimes hard to hear and understand..the headphones had a lot of static. I also think it would help to have a native English speaker tutor the guide in pronunciation and enunciation to improve the presentation.

Will never book again
Kristi_B

We booked this tour. However, once we arrived at the Prado, we did not see the meeting spot. The Prado staff sent us all over the museum grounds looking in different spaces for the meeting spot. This is a large museum and I guess because we were sent all over the grounds, we missed the meeting time. I then, exasperated, purchased a ticket to the Prado after waiting in line and wrote immediately from the front entrance of the museum saying we somehow missed the meeting spot and time asking for a refund. I am a very reasonable person and would NEVER have asked for a refund had we not actually BEEN there on the campus of the museum wandering around looking for the statue. I have a time stamped receipt showing that I purchased a ticket to the museum on that afternoon. I was told that I was unable to receive a refund. So, while I am someone who travels pretty extensively, I can say with full certainty, I will never use this service again and I cannot recommend it.

Dear Kristi we are sorry to hear about your comments. When you book the Prado Museum tour with us we emphasize in the information that the meeting point to meet the guide is at the Statue of Goya, in case you cannot find this meeting point we always advise you to call us to help you find the guide so that you do not miss the visit. If you had called us we could have helped you, but we are sorry it was not the case. Regards

Disappointed with Prado Guided Tour
Kenneth_M
, Jul 2022
We were waiting in the 40* C heat outside the museum and were told to get there 15 minutes early. The guide arrived 5 minutes early and didn’t establish herself as a guide other than holding up a small sign. I told her my wife has MS and can I get a ticket so we could go into the museum so she could cool off and go to the bathroom. She said we had to wait until she went to get tickets. Why wouldn’t she have them already since she already knew the number of tours purchased. After she distributed the tickets I told her we were going to go into the museum and then my wife could go to the bathroom. When we came out the tour group was already gone and we were never able to find them. It was a waste of my money paying for the guided tour. If I knew what I know now, I would have just bought 2 entry tickets to the museum and the headphones explaining the paintings. Unfortunately I would recommend people do that and not waste their money on the guided tour. While we were waiting in the heat outside the young girl, tour guide, was busy texting on her phone. My wife and I could have avoided over an hour waiting in the heat had we just bought the museum entry tickets. This was one of the most disappointing tours I booked through Viator on this trip.

Dear, we are sorry to hear about your comments. We recommend you to be there 15 minutes before the tour start time in case there is a problem and you need a little more time to get there. Regarding the tickets, the guide first has to greet the group and then once the group is together go and print the tickets, we are sorry that you lost the group when you went to the toilet, if you had called us we could have tried to help you to find the guide again. On the other hand, the guide is on her mobile phone before the tour starts because she has to give all the group information to the office so she contacts us. We are sorry for the inconvenience, Regards

I reached out to before the tour to get details on the tapas part of the tour (which I paid for). I was told to just go to the Prado - however that wasn’t true. Never got the tapas tour. The Prado tour itself was unenthusiastic.

Dear Jim_M the part that corresponds to the tapas you have to do it on your own, go to the restaurant that is indicated to you and the waiter knows that you are going on our behalf and has to give you the tapas, you do not go with the guide. We are sorry for the misunderstanding. thank you, best regards

Five Star Awesome Tour
Patti_p
, Jun 2022
Aurora, our guide, was terrific! She was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. As we toured the museum she made the painters and paintings come alive. We had a much better appreciation for the art and history, thanks to Aurora. I can't imagine gleaning a 10th of the knowledge and understanding via a self guided tour. The tour started and ended exactly on time and was very organized. Aurora was very focused and made sure we stayed together as a group, which was important because the museum was very busy. We really enjoyed our visit to the Prado and highly recommend a guided tour through IBE.

Lara_M

We arrived early and waited for 30 minutes. The guide looked at us and walked away. We had to chase her down and then she complained about the entire thing being a mess and said she had to go get more tickets. Returned with our tickets and complained more to US. Couldn’t hear her once we got inside and she disappeared. We did it on our own.

The best way to see the Prado!
NICOLE_H
, Apr 2022
Our guided tour of the Prado was filled with so much history of the museum and is a must do! We don't have much art knowledge so having a guided tour was the perfect way to see the most beautiful pieces in the museum and learn about history behind them. This museum is huge so we went to the most famous and well known pieces and learned everything about them. If you plan on doing the Prado, this is exactly how I would recommend seeing it

Bad Experience
Elizabeth_D
, Apr 2022
Waste of money. If you go around 4 pm it's not crowded so paying extra to skip the line wasn't necessary. The guide, Benjie, seemed ok but he spent over 15 min on the very first painting. It was in the first room, very crowded & difficult to hear him. He didn't provide any overview or history of the Prado, didn't give us a map. Just launched into an extremely long & boring lecture on 1 painting. He was going on and on, we were being squished by the crowd. It was miserable. We gave up & left the group. I'm very disappointed & want a refund.

Dear, we are sorry to read about your comments. Unfortunately we cannot control the capacity of the Prado Museum and it is true that since it is such a popular museum, many people visit it and that is why you may have felt overwhelmed. We are sorry for this but it is beyond our control. On the other hand, our guide tries to give as much information as possible about the paintings as it is an art based tour. We are sorry you were not satisfied with the tour and hope to see you again soon. Best regards

Not a bad tour, but don't sign up for the tapas tasting. It's really far in another part of town. You must take a taxi or Uber to get there. So what's the point of the tapas tasting? Wish I had known the location prior to choosing that option.

Wonderful Prado Tour

We (four adults) booked a guided tour of the Prado. Irene, our guide, arrived at the meeting point a bit early as did we, and as there were no other participants, we set off right away. Irene was the ideal guide. She was very knowledgeable, kept track of us, spoke clearly and loud enough for us to hear her in sometimes noisy rooms, expertly guided us into rooms and spots where we could see what she wanted to point out, answered questions knowledgeably, and overall provided a top notch experience.
