The Prado Museum is one of the world’s finest museums, renowned for the quality and breadth of its collection. It features exceptional Spanish painting, major works from the Flemish and Italian schools, and highlights from across Europe. Masterpieces like Las Meninas, The Garden of Earthly Delights, and Goya’s Majas can feel overwhelming. I guide you through the highlights, tracing art from Gothic to Romanticism—a compact art history journey. Larger groups welcome on request.

About Tour Guide Vanessa R.

Hola and welcome to Madrid and its surroundings!

My name is Vanessa and I'm looking forward to showing you this beautiful and unique city and making sure that you enjoy every second of your visit. But not only the city of Madrid; there are a number of other cities, within a distance of 60-70 minutes by car, like Toledo, Segovia, El Escorial, Ávila, … that fully complement the modern Madrid with the history of Spain in more than two thousand years: romans, muslins, jews and christians.

I’m a proud madrileña with Swiss Heritage from my father. He came to Madrid in the sixties and fell in love with it. I have also lived in other European countries like Switzerland, Germany and France. Although I have travelled a lot, my favourite city has always been Madrid and its secret squares, sunny terraces, centenary shops, taverns and great city life.

Come with me and discover the history and legends of Madrid, its Muslim origins, the charming streets and neighbourhoods, three of the best art museums in the world, the unique shops, the best tapas and especially the Spanish way of life. We can also have a look over the roofs of Madrid from special viewpoints and taste the authentic gastronomy and wines in town.

In the cities around Madrid you will see a different place. Much smaller, more quiet and with an amazing and still touchable history. Cities that ruled the region and Spain thousand years ago, when Madrid did not even exist.

PS: If what you want to see is not included in my list (like the Thyssen Museum, Retiro Park, Aranjuez, Lavapies), please send me an email and I will arrange a special tour for you.

Bienvenidos!
