Andrea was an excellent guide! She could not have been more knowledgeable, enthusiatic, and more committed to the quality of our Reina Sofia experience. We learned so much because of the depth of her art history knowledge. She linked various periods together with excellent examples. We wish she could accompany us to every Spanish art museum we hope to visit!

Reina Sofia is a fasinating museum--wonderful post-1881 art. It couldn't have been better. Andrea was a very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and helped us develop a better understanding/appreciation for various artistic periods by showing us great examples. She was truly one of the best museum guides we’ve ever had.

Of the many tours of this museum, we chose this well-rated one specifically because it was guaranteed to be a very small group. Lucky for us it turned out to be just myself and my wife. Also, we were lucky to have Rosita M as our guide. Not only is she extraordinarily knowledgeable about the art on the tour - she is effervescent in her enthusiasm about it and teaching us about what we were seeing. The tour was excellent and we can strongly recommend Rosita as a guide.

This was a lovely tour! Our guide, Almu, was knowledgable, insightful, and enthusiastic! We got clear context for each of the artworks we encountered, and this deepened and focused our experience of the museum. Highly recommended!

Enrique was a phenomenal guide who provided us with an intimate tour sharing his passion for ART and his extensive knowledge related to the Reina Sofia’s history and collections. Enrique’s knowledge, positive energy, and timely manner were worth the price!

We took the the tour with Almu. First of all she saved us a lot of time and not getting wet with rain. We did not have to wait in line. The tour was phenomenal. Almu's studies in art history and working at museum were so beneficial. We learned so much and subject and art came alive. I learned so much more than if I just took audio tour or walked around the museum. We loved Almu.

Alphonso was outstanding. He could be the curator of the museum his knowledge was so vast. We highly recommend this tour and him if you don’t want to walk around the museum just guessing at the importance of what you are seeing. His presentations encompass history, culture, politics and of course the artists, their background, works and cultural impact. Great time and tour!

What a great tour of the Reina Sofia museum! The tour guide, Beatriz, was extremely knowledgeable and engaging about the museum’s history, numerous artists, and the magnificent art. An experienced guide like Beatriz is essential for a thorough viewing and appreciation of Picasso’s Guernica. The guide also was very adept at showcasing the masterpieces at this wonderful museum and weaving in a discussion of the various artistic movements reflected in the work (e.g. cubism, magic realism, etc.). Highly recommended tour!
