Everything was wonderful. We were even treated to a military parade while waiting in line. Thank you for assisting us with rescheduling our ticket dare after a death in the family causing a change in our family plans. We are very grateful to the staff!

Getting in and having special access was fundamental to enjoying the tour and avoiding the long queues at the door. Avoiding the long queues was the highlight of choosing to buy the tickets through the APP, the ease of purchase, the quick turnaround and the communications too. Just one observation: the tour is long and it's practically impossible to do it all in one day. Another important point of this ticket is the possibility of visiting any day within a year and on any day of the week and at any time. However, this is good for those who can be in Madrid for more days and organize their schedule. That's fantastic!

We started at Tysenn. Everything went very smoothly, the accreditation and the entrance. Not so in the Pardo (the second visit) where there was the main queue and a second shorter queue (20' wait) to accredit the QR code. With the Reina Sofia we finally had a second shorter queue, but as there were less visitors there were a couple of minutes of waiting.

    Getting the tickets with Headout was easy. Getting entry to the Padro not so much. I showed the page with the scan codes to the entry agent and they told me to go to another line. After waiting in line and speaking with a ticket agent I had to speak with another agent. That agent wanted a pdf of the email I was sent with the scan codes. After going through all my emails from Headout, I was finally able to get my tickets to to Padro. Getting into the Thysseen Bornemisza was easy. I just showed them the page with the scan codes and we were in. Entry to the Reina Sofia was similar to the Padro. Having been to many of the best museums I found the Padro to be a confusing Warren of little rooms with no flow between rooms. The Thyssen Bornemisza was our favorite. We felt the galleries flowed and it show cased different artists dabbling in each other's style.
