The guide is very knowledgeable and dispnable. She was very clear and managed to involve us in the visit, making it enjoyable, interesting and stimulating. The selection of works offered was excellent. Obviously the museum is very beautiful and full of masterpieces, but without the right guidance it would not have been the same.

The tour is well worth it. Our guide, Aitana (I hope I spelled her name correctly), was phenomenal in providing much-needed context for each of the works of art discussed. She demonstrated a deep knowledge of the information presented and was able to answer public questions with ease and effectiveness. Her expertise and engaging explanations significantly enhanced our understanding and appreciation of the art. I highly recommend both the tour and our guide, Aitana. Rick G.
