Guided tour of Reina Sophia Museo

Rhet_T, Jul 2026

Our guide, Leticia took us through the works of Miro, Leger, Braque, Dali and, of course, Picasso. Her knowledge of Spain's artists, culture and history brought to life a tumultuous period of Spain exhibited in many works and culminating in an illuminating delve into Picasso's Geurnica - a painting we've waited for many years to see in person. The pace of her tour was excellent and allowed me to rest my vacation-weary feet on several occasions. The Reina Sophia museum is a must see for visitors and aficionados of art and I would recommend Leticia to all who love art.

One of the best tour guides ever!!

Sandip_K, Jan 2026

Andrea was an outstanding guide and gave us one of the best museum tours we’ve ever had. What really set her apart was how she connected everything we saw—paintings, photographs, and installations—into a few clear, powerful themes, all grounded in the historical moment they came from. She didn’t just explain individual works; she helped us understand how they spoke to each other and to the political and social realities of Spain and Europe at the time. Seeing the art through that lens completely changed how we experienced the Reina Sofía, especially around Guernica and the surrounding works. Andrea is incredibly knowledgeable but also engaging and easy to follow. The tour felt thoughtful, cohesive, and genuinely memorable. We walked away with a much deeper appreciation for the museum and its collection. Highly recommend—this was a truly exceptional tour.

Awesome experience!

Guernica: one of my lifelong bucket lists

Bonnie_J, Oct 2023

Beatrice gave a most excellent tour. She is very well educated, and gave us very useful background information to understand the paintings and sculptures we saw. She was also very kind to people who walked slow and to one participant, who was a bit difficult. At the end of the tour she showed me how to use the subway and where to go to my next destination. all of this was above and beyond what I expected. I would be very happy to book this tour or another tour with Beatrice again.

Educated, enthusiastic,...

Mark_R, Oct 2023

Educated, enthusiastic, flexible guide. Great stories of the artists family life and its effects on their art.

Much More than Guernica!

Bryan_S, Jun 2023

Like many others, my wife and I were interested in go to La Reina Sofia in order to see Picasso's Guernica. It was as amazing as we thought it would be, but the experience was truly enhanced by our Guide, Marta. She was so knowledgeable and showed us that the museum was far more than that one famous painting. She took such great care in taking us through various galleries and told the story of the struggle of modern art to break through the deep-seated traditions and norms of Spanish culture. It was a truly wonderful tour, and Marta had everything to do with that.
