Our take
The Reina Sofía makes far more sense with someone explaining the context: the Civil War, the avant-garde and why Guernica hangs there. Two hours is just right. Minimum 2 people per booking.

The experience
What you'll see
A private 2-hour tour of the Reina Sofía Museum, Spain's leading museum of contemporary art. The guide takes you to the essential works by Picasso, Dalí, Miró, Man Ray and Magritte and explains the social and political context they were made in. The centrepiece of the visit is Guernica.
How it works
The guide can pick you up at your hotel and tell you about the city on the way, or you can meet at the museum entrance, by the Spanish flag, on Calle de Santa Isabel. Skip-the-line entry is included. The price is per person, with a minimum of 2. The museum is wheelchair and stroller accessible.
Who I'd recommend it to
- Anyone who wants to see Guernica and understand what it says.
- Anyone curious about 20th-century art but unsure where to start.
- Small groups who'd like a guide to themselves.
