Excellent!

Joaquin was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide! I learned quite a bit about the history of the museum and the paintings displayed. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great tour, excellent pace and learned a lot. Joaquin was engaging and knowledgeable. It’s definitely worth spending a little bit more for a smaller group and more personalized experience.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thanks so much Bethany! It was an absolute pleasure and I also got to learn a bit about the farsi language and Persian culture, so thanks again to both of you!

Superb visit in French

We made this family visit with our 2 teenagers and everyone loved it. The experience was very personalized, the guide was enthusiastic, interesting and adapted to our interests. Honestly, we didn’t know anything about art so without this guide, we would have passed quickly while we really understood the style, history and peculiarity of the paintings. This tour shows us the must-sees of the museum:) I highly recommend it!
