Overview

Any trip to Madrid should feature two things: a visit to the Prado Museum and a meal at Botín. On this tour, you'll experience both! Begin with an exploration of the highlights of the Prado’s massive collection, carefully selected so you don’t have to worry about navigating the 7,000+ pieces on your own. Then, you’re off to Botín, the oldest restaurant in the world. Head behind the scenes for an exclusive tour before enjoying a three-course meal, including their signature dish.

Meeting points

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your tour, your guide will be holding a red bag or Devour Tours sign. This tour meets at the Monument to Goya (Calle de Felipe IV, s/n) located opposite the Prado Museum's main ticket office.

Itinerary

  • Museo Nacional del Prado

    The best of Madrid’s artistic masterpieces awaits on a comprehensive tour of the Prado Museum. Meet your guide at the statue of Francisco Goya just outside and skip the line into Spain’s national art museum, home to over 7,000 pieces. With an expert in art history on hand, you’ll be guided to the crème de la crème of the masterpieces on display. Take in the breathtaking detail of works by Goya, Velazquez, and more, and discover the stories behind each careful brushstroke. Enjoy free time at the end of your museum tour to browse the gift shop or purchase a snack.

    2 hours

  • Literary Quarter (Barrio de Las Letras)

    Next, discover another aspect of Madrid’s history on a stroll through the charming Literary Quarter, where many of Spain’s literary geniuses have trodden these very paths.

    40 minutes

  • Plaza Mayor (Pass By)

    You'll also stop in the lively Plaza Mayor and hear stories from your guide about how Spain's history was shaped here.

  • N/A

    Next, it’s time for a veritable Spanish feast! Step past the long lines forming outside before the restaurant even opens its doors. Your guide will show you the cave beneath the restaurant, which was part of a tunnel system that once spread underneath Madrid, and take you behind the scenes of the historic kitchen where 300-year-old ovens make time-perfected recipes. Finally, sit down for a three-course meal and feast on specialties such as chicken and ham croquettes and Botín’s signature roast suckling pig.

Arantxa is a great tour guide!

Published on Jan, 2025

Arantxa was an excellent tour guide through the Prado and Restaurant Botin. Her discussion of the paintings by Goya, El Greco and Velasquez were easy to understand and she brought the people and places and painters to life for us!

Perfect half day in Madrid

Published on Jan, 2025

Cassie was probably the best guide I have ever had for a European tour experience of any type in any country. She was funny, engaging, and had an incredible depth of knowledge about the paintings we saw in El Prado. She even was able to make it interesting for a non-artistically inclined teenager, which is quite the challenge. Lunch at El Botín was delicious and quite filling. Can’t recommend this experience enough for a half day in Madrid.

Great experience with Arantxa as our guide.

Published on Dec, 2024

Arantxa was the greatest guide, she provides historic context to all the arts we see, makes it easier to understand and also adds some fun.

Best Prado Museum and Casa Botin tour ever!

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent tour mixing history, arts, and great food! Arantxa is the best guide. She's fun, energetic, and very generous with her sharing of her incredible knowledge of Madrid, Spain, and the world.

Great day!

Published on Dec, 2024

Our guide Arantxa was amazing! So knowledgeable and funny! She gave us so information and made it interesting as well. She knew so much about the history of the Prado and we got a private tour of the famed Botin restaurant before a wonderful lunch.
