Initially I was apprehensive about our tour because the group was large and it looked like the tour was going to be given simultaneously in Spanish and English by one tour guide. However, a second guide arrived before we began, and we broke into two smaller groups - one for each language. Our group of five people was the perfect size. It made it easy to follow our guide as we moved through the exhibits. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, leading us through each exhibit in chronological order of the styles of art. She gave us a background on each style, information on each artist and his/her life, and pointed out details and symbolism in each piece. She brought along copies of related works from the Prado and other museums - a very thoughtful extra touch. My husband and I were very pleased with this tour, especially getting to see Guernica in person and exploring the museum at our leisure after the tour. Only complaint: quality of guide’s mic - audio was sometimes painfully crackly.

So happy we booked this tour of the Reina Sofia. Paola was such a great tour guide. She helped us understand so many of the abstract pieces and provided information that we would remember and appreciate. She was super sweet and friendly. Made the entire experience 1000 times better.

I enjoyed the tour of the Reina Sofia, and we were allowed plenty of time to roam on our on at the end of the tour. Balen's knowledge of art was impressive. This tour from booking to the end made my stay in Madrid memorable.

Our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We enjoyed the tour very much - the time allocated to each museum was ideal, and there was enough time in between for a coffee!

We arrived to the meeting point and the nice guide admit us directly without the long queue. He was knowledgeable and nice. We enjoy the tour very much.
