Our guide, Anna Christina, was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. She created an experience that exceeded our expectations and allowed me to learn more than I ever expected. Best guided museum experience!

Anna Christina was a wonderful guide for the Reina Sofia. I learnt so much. Finding Anna Christina was tricky though as the instructions need to be updated to explain the meeting point is inside the museum entrance by the library and that the entrance only opens at 10am.

Audio guide was not great quality. Our guide gave some good information about avant- guard art starting from cubism and ending with Guernica. I would have liked to be told what other galleries we didn't visit included. It would have been interesting to look at one or two of picassos pre cubist paintings ( in one of the other galleries) to contrast with his cubist works.

by making plans to have a guided tour, we were able to skip the long line. Our english speaking tour guide was informative and made our time interesting and entertaining.
