5.00It was a very pleasant tour. Once we found our guide, it was quite enjoyable. We breezed through security and then our guide showed us all the paintings and told interesting facts. Finally, we made it to David. We walked around it, taking pictures while our guide told us facts about David. Our tour guide was very passionate, and knew a lot about David and History. It’s a great tour, if you want something interesting and short.
Sara Ramírez was the guide in Spanish, she is the best guide tour I have ever had.

5.00The experience was as advertised. Everything went very smoothly. Met at the advertised place at the scheduled time, got the tickets and were in the museum in less than 10 minutes (hundreds of people were waiting in long lines).
If you have enemies you can recommend it!

5.00Great tour, our guide Anna was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. Headsets had good reception (doesn't always happen) and the tour was informative and interesting.
We saved some time and did not have to queue too long.

3.00The queues were long outside but even for our 'skip-the-line' there was a queue. So, although we skipped a line we did not skip all lines.
Gorgeous tour and amazing lunch experience. Felt like a VIP!

5.00We had just our 6 people group. It was small enough to move around the museum and listen to our guide. She was funny and told us some interesting facts.
