Maria, our guide, was very knowledgeable and patient. She took us around several metro stations, explained the history of the system and the democratic nature of choosing art for the spaces. It was well worth the cost, and I truly appreciated how she pointed out not just the artwork that we were seeing, but specific points of interest in the areas that we visited, like the de Pijp market. Would definitely recommend. It's a great way to spend 2 hours.
