Excellent tour! - Our visit to the Thyssen was greatly enhanced by our guide, Lara. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. We so appreciated her enthusiasm about the art and history of the museum. She has a warm personality and a sense of humor. We enjoyed our visit to the Thyssen and our guide was a very positive part of the experience.

Tip Luis for us! - We booked the same day, Thursday January 2nd while traveling on the train from València to Madrid.
I did not notice the drop down for languages. Only noticed when we got to the meeting spot, it was Spanish only.
Luis, the guide, was accommodating, much to the chagrin of the others. They seemed annoyed. We are forever grateful. 🙏
I know the tour took longer as he explained in both languages. I had questions but did not want to delay the tour more so I refrained from asking.
The collection is surprisingly vast. And… Thyssen is not on the top 10 of museums to visit in Madrid.
I forgot to tip Luis! I am so sorry for that!!!
If you enjoy the tour and have Luis and care to pay it forward, please tip him a little extra. Thank you!

Excellent - Hard to find a guided tour of this museum, but it was worth it. We were only 8 pax and made a visit of almost 2 hrs, touring the most important works. Then we had the possibility to continue visiting the museum on our own.
