More Than Just a Guided Tour

Sandee_H, Oct 2025

I hoped to get a detailed perspective on Picasso and the cultural life of Spain in the time of the Spanish civil war and the years leading to it Our tour guide, Hernan, was more professor/lecturer than guide. I liked that. It was a bit challenging mentally. I also liked the resources provided for additional study. It was more than a look at art that I wanted to see but a study of that art.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

We hope to welcome you again soon for another art-filled adventure! Warm regards

Our guide for the Tour...

Our guide for the Tour (Hernan) was terrific. He was a History Professor with such great insight on the background of what we were experiencing. He knew why and what motivated Picasso to create Guernica and was able to present it with passion and meaning. It's sad and tragic but we loved it. Better than I expected.

The Real Guernica Story

Deeply informative tour, intriguing throughout the entire experience. Very detailed overview of Guernica and its incredible backstory. Amazing to learn how art can be manipulated as propaganda, which was certainly the case here. Great tour and highly recommended.

Private tour is the way to go!

I very highly recommend doing a private museum tour. It is small investment in a very valuable experience. Hernan was our guide and he was so extremely knowledgeable, kind, and clearly an expert on the complicated subject matter that is Reina Sophia museum and the Guernica masterpiece. He gave us insight into the most important works in the museum that we would have never known without his years of knowledge. He was so friendly and we really enjoyed our time. I highly recommend any small group or family to take advantage of a private tour. He kept my teenage daughter engaged and the pace was perfect. Muchas gracias Hernan!

Machen, lernen, erfahren und genießen. Auch mit (etwas älteren) Kindern!

Hernandez war unser Guide. Ein tolles Erlebnis- auch für die 10 und 13 Jahre alten Kinder. Wir waren alle drei begeistert. Die Zeit verging wie im Fluge. Es ist eine Investition. Ganz klar. Aber eine, die jeden Cent wert ist! Danke, Senior „Hernandez“
