Majo knows the Reina Sophia Museum thoroughly and gave us an excellent overview catering to our interests in 19th and 20th century art. She showed us early Picasso and Dali works (and other artists too), culminating in Picasso's wrenching Guernica, while explaining the political upheavals that influenced the art. It was a great tour and she is an excellent guide.

Maria was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and geared the information to an appropriate level for us, interested learners. The pace was fine and she constantly checked with our needs and responses. It was a very enjoyable and informative experience!

Passionate and knowledgeable guide made for a much more interesting time than it would have been without the commentary.

During our family trip (wife, 2 teenage daughters and myself) to Madrid, we had already visited the Prado Museum with Majo as our guide. We loved the experience so much that when we discussed visiting the Renee Sofia several days later, my daughters stated that they would agree only if we could tour the museum with Majo. We were all very happy with the decision. The Renee Sofia Museum can easily be overwhelming with the vast size of the collection, especially for individuals less familiar with contemporary art (as is the case with my family). Majo is so clearly passionate and well-learned about art and history. This knowledge and passion comes across clearly in her tour, which made our visit a fascinating 3 hour experience in learning the development of contemporary art in Spain, the memorable related details of the artists' lives (for example, Dali and Picasso), and how the evolution and focus of the art is deeply tied to the underlying political and historical events in Spain. I especially appreciated Majo tailoring our visit to ensure that my daughters were able to learn about important female contemporary artists in Spain. We will definitely rebook with Majo on any future visit to Madrid. I highly recommend her!

Great experience. I was in Reina Sofia before, but it was completely different with Maria Jose. Deep inside into Spanish history, such an incredible understanding of contemporary art. She has a very easy and interesting way to tell the history of the last 100 years of Spanish art. My daughter said Reina Sofia is her favorite modern art museum now (we've been to a lot).

Maria was an amazing guide. Not only did she give us context and background on the art pieces but she also supplemented the background on the piece with pictures on her ipad of other art by the artist or historical documents on the piece. She did a marvelous job of not only showing the amazing pieces of art at the Reina Sofia, but also gave us a great insight into the artist and the prevalent conditions at the time the piece was created.

My 20 year old son and I spent a wonderful couple of hours with Maria at the Reina Sofia. Her English was impeccable and her passion for the artwork, history and sharing her knowledge were exactly what we were looking for. She was flexible in touring us through the collection which seems to be in some level of flux due to renovations being made to the museum prior to the current director moving on. As a whole, this was a great tour with an excellent guide.

We found María Augusta last minute, and she was very quick in responding and super flexible. She arranged everything for us upon entry, and showed us the masterpieces of the Reina Sofia museum. We were lucky because it was basically empty, so we could really take our time to talk about the art and history and culture. She also showed us related pictures from other locations, which made our experience even more complete. She's been a great guide and I hope she is available next time I am in Madrid:)
