🏆🥇Free walking tour: Hinter den Pinselstrichen des Prado-Museums: Juwelen mit künstlerischer Ekstase 🏛

March 11, 2025 Behind the Brushstrokes at the Prado My 3rd Guruwalk this week in Madrid was at the Prado Museum with guide Sissi. She is delightful and full of information, energy, and humor! She talks very fast and with a strong accent, and though the earphone was good, it seemed not as sharp as on yesterday’s tour. In any event, occasionally I missed some of what she said. Sissi checked often to make sure our group of 7 was close behind her. And she often steered us to benches so we could sit while we listened. We appreciated this! Sissi gave us details about how paints were made resulting in different qualities and value; about artists, their preferences, styles, and friends; about how the historical periods were reflected in the art; and about the role of religion throughout. Also very interesting prurient details about one of the kings that Sissi saved for last. And much more! Information for first timers visiting the Prado: We had to check backpacks, but it was quick and orderly and at no extra charge. There are abundant restrooms near the entrance. There is a gift shop and a coffee shop in the same general area. Thank you, Sissi!

Es war eine sehr interessante Erfahrung mit Vermittlung von viel Information über Kunst und Geschichte, vorwiegend spanische.

The tour was very informative but not boring at all. You do not need to spend days on research about the most important/special peaces of art in the museum. Just come, listen to the interesting facts and stories behind the paintings and enjoy it.

Sissí was a fun and very knowledgeable guide through the Prado! Did a good job connecting centuries of art through a coherent narrative. Would definitely recommend!

Our guide was excellent. She shared wonderful stories that helped weave the history and the artists together. The time flew. She loves the art and loves to share it. The tour was fun and unlike any other art tour we have taken. Highly recommended.
