    The guide provided insightful commentary about the history, art and artists as we visited various galleries within the museum. Her remarks in English were very understandable and easy to hear with the whisper headsets our group wore during the 90-minute tour. Our guide readily answered questions during the tour. Being on the tour at the opening 10:00 am time of the Museum allowed us to avoid the long line for admission. The meeting place for the beginning of the tour was easy to find.

    Despite I have booked the tour in English the actual tour was in English Spanish language. That was the only défaut! Ticket reservation was very easy and our guide Miguel kind and knowledgeable about the museum, he gave us a lot of useful information and made the tour very interesting. Overall it was a very good experience!

    We had better than an audio guide in the form of a very knowledgeable guide, Alexandra. She was very considerate, explained the paintings very well and encouraged participation in the form of questions. It was a very small group of 3- 2 persons didn't show up which delayed us slightly but didn't impact the tour. I will book through HR this service again. We had a tour of the Palace which was a group of 25 and it was all too rushed and impersonal. Different company and more money. Go Headout!

    Very easy to sign up and find the central meeting place. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable. The tour was as promised, with a little extra insight into some of the contextual reasons for the artwork we observed. A great lesson!

    Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided valuable insights about the paintings that we saw. Also liked that we had a small group which made it easier to move through the crowded museum.
