Group Private visit of Prado - Guide Recommendations

Hello,

I am planning a spring break group trip for my college course (Neuroscience of Art). The trip is intended to spend a week in Madrid touring major art museums and other sites.

I see that the Prado has a Group Private visit from 9 am to 10 am which seems like it would be a lovely opportunity for my group to get up close and personal with the pieces without the crowds (albeit, probably hungover, because...college students). It says you must have a guide but they don't provide you with one like it seems they do for the later tours. Does anyone have recommendations for a Prado guide we could hire to take us through during this private visit period?

Also, has anyone done a street art tour that they would recommend?

Any other private type tours related to art or experiences in Madrid are appreciated!

She was recommended in an RS guide and we used her May 2025 for a Goya tour that was excellent. We also went on her group tour for the Spanish Civil War and it was fascinating.
