Highly recommended! - Ana Cristina Carvajal was a wonderful and very knowledgeable guide. She gave us an overview on the history of the collection from early Flemish works to modern day masterpieces. Her insights were very interesting and the depth of information was just perfect. A lovely and considerate person too.

Good pace for an astonishing museum - Wow! Miguel was terrific. There is so much to take in but he walked us through art history perfectly. The museum is such a world treasure. We felt privileged to enjoy these works of art and be part of the generosity of Spain and the family. Miguel offers a good pace and takes time for a few detours and questions!

Fantastic guide/tour! - The art on display at this museum was inspiring. Our guide, Ana, did a masterful job of pointing out some of the most interesting pieces while providing a history of sorts about how painting/art evolved over the centuries. Fantastic tour!

Laura (tour guide) and Thyssen - AWESOME - Laura was our tour guide and she was simply fantastic. Energetic, intelligent, well-informed, and so passionate about the art. Also, we went at 4:00pm and it was as if we had the entire museum to ourselves - definitely nice to not be competing with throngs of tour groups! Great museum, great guide, great time.
