Overview

What sets this experience apart is the seamless blend of world-class art, nature, and authentic local culture—all curated and guided by me, an art dealer and cultural host with a deep passion for storytelling. Unlike large, impersonal tours, this is an intimate small-group experience (max 8 people) designed to feel personal, enriching, and unhurried. You won’t just admire masterpieces at the Prado—you’ll connect with them through stories that reveal their hidden meanings and human depth. Then, rather than ending there, we continue into Retiro Park, where Madrid’s royal past meets everyday local life. And instead of a dry history walk, you’ll savor a drink and aperitivo at a beloved local chiringuito, experiencing the park as locals do. It’s a premium, soulful way to see Madrid—one that engages the mind, the senses, and the heart.

What To Expect

Museo Nacional del Prado

We’ll begin with skip-the-line access through the elegant Jerónimos entrance—no waiting, no crowds, just a smooth start to an unforgettable journey. Inside, I’ll guide you through a curated selection of masterpieces, chosen not for quantity but for depth: works that changed the course of art, moved empires, and still stir something in us today.You’ll encounter iconic paintings by Velázquez, Goya, El Greco, Rubens, and others—but rather than overwhelm you with facts or dates, I’ll reveal the stories behind the canvas: power, beauty, madness, resistance, devotion. You’ll learn how these works reflect the soul of Spain—and why they still matter.This isn’t a typical museum tour. It’s an intimate, story-rich experience designed to help you see art differently—guided by someone who lives and breathes it. Whether you're new to art or a lifelong museum-goer, this visit will open your eyes, stir your imagination, and set the tone for the day ahead.
