Very interesting explanations that led me to enjoy cubism and surrealism quite a bit more than I used to. The guide also did a great job of putting art works in their historical context, and also offered alternative interpretations aside from the ones she was presenting as her own. I am amazed at how well she handled a bilingual group and alternated between Spanish and English, and didn't feel that we got less information than I would have expected in a monolingual group (she did speak fast and with enthusiasm, and the tour was a bit longer than expected, which are all good things). When I saw that I was in the English-speaking minority I had worried that we would get hurried comments, but this was not the case, and when she was speaking Spanish I took those opportunities to look at other paintings or review those we saw.

It has been an enjoyable, educational experience, entertaining with our luxury guide, Steffi. She managed to capture the interest in a fun and non-stop way along the guided tour, which is a must, one cannot be in Madrid without seeing works by Picasso, Dali, Miró ... admire the Guernica is unparalleled. Excellent activity, highly recommended

Our tour was educational, and our tour guide was very experienced.

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.
