Fantastic art tour - Maria is so incredibly knowledgeable and fun. Absolute highlight of our trip. Highly highly recommend if you’re at all interested in art. This can’t really be done on your own.

The best way to see ART - "The gallery visit with María was FANTASTIC. She took us to hidden galleries and shared her enormous knowledge and experiences about art, artists and also the history of each gallery and its owners. We ended the tour in María's art studio, a studio with numerous works that transmit COLOR and JOY 🙌♥️

Fabulous tour of hidden galleries in Madrid - Maria Burgaz, a talented local artist, guided us around several local galleries which we would never have found without her assistance. Maria's knowledge and enthusiasm are second to none. As well as bringing to life the many pieces we viewed, Maria was also extremely helpful afterwards in providing a full list of the artists featured and galleries visited for future reference.

Excellent tour of an important creative area of the city. - We enjoyed the wide range of contemporary art on view and the different sorts of gallery spaces with their various exhibition styles. Maria was very knowledgeable about the artists, the artworks, & the situations of the galleries themselves. Since she is an artist herself we valued her insights into the creative processes of the work and life of the artists.

A truly unique experience! - This tour will bring you positive energy, surprises, delight, and glimpses of art you’d likely never otherwise see on your own. Maria is a sparkling star of a host whose upbeat and kind personality makes you immediately feel as though you’re with a dear friend (only, a friend who has personal relationships with the top gallery owners in Madrid!). The variety of galleries and artworks we saw during the perfectly-paced tour was astonishing, and the conclusion of the visit at Maria’s own art studio was fabulous. We’d give 10 out of 5 stars if we could--you’ll miss out on an unforgettable art experience in Madrid if you pass this tour by.

Not to miss! - Wonderful guided tour! Very enjoyable. Access to (indeed) hidden galleries with María, who is extremely knowledgeable and nice, in one of the most lovely districts of Madrid. Plus you get to meet the owners and even the artists themselves if you get lucky! Bonus: at the end, a relaxed Spanish snack in her atelier. What else can you ask for?

A must for every contemporary art lover - Maria is very knowledgeable and familiar with the art scene in Madrid. We felt welcomed in every gallery and Maria’s information about each gallery and each artist was invaluable. Maria also invited us at the end of the tour to her beautiful studio with her colorful works, where we had some wine and tapas. We will definitely join the tour again in our next visit to Madrid.
