Our guide was exceptionally well prepared to give a wonderful tour of this remarkable museum. We started in the gardens to better understand the building itself, then took a deep dive into the transformation of prominent Spanish artists in the first half of the 20th Century. From Dali and Miro to Picasso, Santos and many others, we learned how and why their work evolved, and how the politics of the time influenced their work. Our tour culminated with the Guernica - a work so complex and wonderful we appreciated the skillful explanation of Almudena, our guide.

Jose, our guide in the Reina Sofia museum took us on a journey of art and history of Spain through magnificent pieces of art presented in the Reina Sofia museum. A truly amazing experience and highly recommended.

Beatrice gave a most excellent tour. She is very well educated, and gave us very useful background information to understand the paintings and sculptures we saw. She was also very kind to people who walked slow and to one participant, who was a bit difficult. At the end of the tour she showed me how to use the subway and where to go to my next destination. all of this was above and beyond what I expected. I would be very happy to book this tour or another tour with Beatrice again.

Like many others, my wife and I were interested in go to La Reina Sofia in order to see Picasso's Guernica. It was as amazing as we thought it would be, but the experience was truly enhanced by our Guide, Marta. She was so knowledgeable and showed us that the museum was far more than that one famous painting. She took such great care in taking us through various galleries and told the story of the struggle of modern art to break through the deep-seated traditions and norms of Spanish culture. It was a truly wonderful tour, and Marta had everything to do with that.
