Alfonso was amazing and extremely knowledgeable! - 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!

Great tour of the Reina Sofia for Guernica and so much more - 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!

Highly recommend the VIP tour of the Reina Sofia! - Our guide Bearitz was a fountain of information and made our experience at the Reina Sofia museum memorable. It was just my husband and I and another woman. There is so much to see and her expertise and knowledgeable background in history was amazing. We would never had absorbed as much on a self guided tour!! A very memorable experience! Highly recommend.

Art brought to life by Marta! - Carolynn Extremely easy booking with Viator! Very communicative, which was appreciated. Our guide Marta completely changed the way we look at art forever! The reason we decided to book a guided tour was that we enjoy visiting museums however ~ what am I looking at? What is it saying? What is the significance of this piece at the time? … And so many more questions go unanswered. Marta provided details and the history throughout the museum in chronological order that completely changed the way we look at art forever. Her enthusiasm and the way her face & eyes would light up made it obvious that art & history are a passion verses a ‘job’. We felt very fortunate to have her as our guide. Thoroughly enjoy our time and highly recommend. While the tour is 2.5 hours you can stay afterwards as long as you like. Meeting point was super easy to find. Greta job Babylon Tours/Viator Thank you!! Carolynn
