We liked the focus on Dali’s growth as a painter. Our guide was biased against modern art (which we love), but knowledgable. The beginning was slow—people checking bags, getting ear pieces working, and our first guide gave ear pieces to the half of our group that was Spanish-speaking, giving an overview of the building to them and didn’t tell us that an English-speaking guide would be joining us. Luckily we understood most of it. We feel bad for the couple who had luggage. They should have been told early so they could go to a local locker to check their bags. Instead they were rejected at the bag check 30 minutes later and missed the tour. Unnecessary. Our experience was fine, however! We enjoyed the tour.

Fantastic tour! Gabriela shared the history of Cubism, Surrealism, and other art movements, ending with the powerful Guernica—and helping us understand why it has had so much impact on the world. A highlight of my visit to Madrid!
