Very good tour. My only criticism is that I would prefer to spend a little less time on each painting and see a few more paintings.
Gabi was very kind and knowledgeable
Great guide Gabi!!!! Thank you!!!
We did the tour with Gabriela/Gaby and it was a really nice experience! She speaks clear, easy-to-understand English, and I could really feel her enthusiasm for art. Highly recommended!
The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and easy to understand. The audio equipment functioned as it should. The meeting place was easy to find. The problem was the pacing. Too slow and overly detailed on a just a handful of paintings. I would recommend covering more ground and artists with less minutia. There is so much to see at this museum and I realize you can’t cover it all, but it could have been much better with a bit more oomph.
Total knowledge of the topics
We thought we had purchased a two hour guided tour and not a one hour 15 mins tour. It felt rushed especially for such a large museum. It may be a good idea for the guide to recommend other areas of the museum to see.
Borja Teno was incredibly informative and personable, a lot of fun!
Gaby was nice very clear and explained in deep details
Great experience for good overview. Priced right & good start time options. Nice group size. Timing was not accurate though. Tour went 45 minutes over the estimated time.
Turned up in plenty of time, despite them giving wrong coordinates, then found out our guide was ill and no apparent back up! So they cancelled on the steps of the gallery…..on the plus side, I went in to tour it myself with audio guide but left quickly after seeing Guernica…..and went to Thyssen which as FANTASTIC. Still no refund received for cancelled tour 🤬
This tour is the best way to see the highlights of the Reina Sofía Museum. Our guide, JJ, was incredible. He was friendly, knowledgeable, passionate & a great storyteller who helped us understand and appreciate the works on a deeper level. Everything was organized well, and the earpieces/microphone worked great. Highly recommend this tour!
JJ was an excellent guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and funny—during our trip to the Reina Sofia. Highly recommend!
Very informative and necessary tour of the museum! Gabriela was super knowledgeable.
We enjoyed our guide with Gabi. Recommended
Our guide, JJ, was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about giving our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it. See if you can have JJ as your guide. It was great to get the story behind several paintings and also learn about the artists.
Gaby our guide was excellent was very informative gave a lot of information that I would have not know if not on tour.
Wonderfull and expericence was special. Guide had a very good english
José Javier was a very enthusiastic tour guide at the Reina Sofia. He is very knowledgable about art history. He gave a great explanation of Guernica as well as Juan Gris.
Outstanding guide with very detail information delivered in the most enthusiastic style. Very enjoyable. Thank you.
Gabby was excellent!!! We did combo tour Pradi and Reina Sofía.
Our guide Borja was excellent
Great job. Tour in Spanish with Borja
Costas, our guide, was very friendly and provided us with all the interesting informations about the museum
Excellent tour. Costa was fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable
Excellent! Very informative. Nice pace. We had Gabi. She was wonderful.
Our guide was very interesting
Interesting tour with in depth explanation of a sample of grey art works, including La Guernica. Gabi was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable
Thanks for the visite! Thanks Gaby your speech is vers good! Your explaims are vers and good!
The tour guide from Amigo tours was very knowledgeable about the history and the art. The museum was well structured although more seating opportunities would be nice
Our guide had to leave after only a few minutes feeling unwell
Gabby was a wonderful guide! I would definitely recommend!
We were told to arrive 15 minutes early but the guide did not show up until departure time and then held us up in the sun for 10 minutes to add 2 more people who could not find their guide! . Then she told us we needed to check our bags but we could not since she didn’t give us the tickets yet so we had to get back in line when we got the tickets. And the. We found out you needed an euro and an half for the locker. Never told us lAnd then she said we CAN take photos despite what the review said. You just can’t use flash.
Gabriella was an amazing guide who gave you excellent tips and was able to walk through the main masterpiece master fully connecting to smaller versions or the pre-work to the masterpiece piece the best one and a half hour invested
Very good experience with this tour - informative and intimate. Costas is a very good storyteller. Gives you also the impression that he spends time knowing and reviewing the art pieces he is showing the tourists. He was generous with his time; in fact, had it not for another appointment he would have extended the tour to give a more comprehensive explanation on the pieces. Be prepared to do some walking and not a lot of places to sit either; so if you have back concerns or mobility issues something to think about. I think you can inform them ahead of time on this. You can stay further if you want to linger and check the other floors but the time you have on tour is long enough you will want to rest for a while after that.
Gabi is fully into history and knows a lot about art and the process of the pictures. The tour was a little bit short because there is a lot to see and although her English was good, she was speaking really fast. I don't know how a self guided tour with audio guide would be like, but you can definitely do it in your own rhythm.
We could not have asked for a better, more entertaining tour guide than JJ. He was not only extremely knowledgeable but also articulate and full of contagious energy. Personally, I am not a huge fan of modern art but his presentation made me interested in the subject. Great tour; 5 stars for JJ!

Outstanding and energetic tour by Jose, JJ. Exceptional knowledge, a strong understanding of integrating politics, history and art. Definitely recommend this tour.
JJ was a great guide. It was a great crash course in the history of Spanish modern art. We didn’t miss any gems of the Reina Sofía.
My mom and I were visiting Madrid for the first time and are huge fans of art and art history. We were so excited to have Gabi be our guide! She did fantastic explaining the best parts of Reina Sofia and it was a blast!
Amazing tour, we learned a lot with Costas, which was an amazing guide! He also gave us time to explore and didn’t rush when we had questions or observations. Thank you!
Gaby is full of enthusiasm and knowledge. I knew I’d learn something, but I learned so much more than I expected and enjoyed my ‘enrichment’ immensely. Thanks.
An amazing experience- Gabi made it so special and informative!!
It didn’t work out. We showed up and there was an admin error. We eventually got a refund after many emails. Pity as I am sure the tour was good. Viator is usually great to book with but this was with another tour group, and the issue was with them.
Our guide was truly delightful, radiating positivity and possessing an abundance of fascinating knowledge. Everything was perfect .
We had an amazing tour, Borja the guide, got us trough an amazing journey explaining all with such a passion, that makes us want to know more about art. Such an rich experience.
The guide was clearly knowledgeable but the sound system was not clear and his English was not easy to understand.
Hard to understand his English. Guide knew the information but not very inspired. I would not recommend, better off just paying to go in.
