Reina Sofia Museum tours

Reina Sofia Museum tours

Why our Reina Sofia museum tours will seem like a complete reinterpretation of the contemporary art history?

We come from the modern art industry, and more specifically from the so-called post-graffiti. Cooltourspain is a team of professionals in art history and tourism, with a passion for the most contemporary way of understanding culture. Therefore, we have prepared a series of Reina Sofia museum tours that will open you a new gate into modern art. We put the emphasis on the society we live in, and how artists represent their works.

Hidden stories

In order to explain the artworks where we will stop by, we have curated an alternative study of the social context in which the paintings were developed. In this sense, the artist's life will offer us many details. We will tell you all about them in our Reina Sofia Museum tours.

Multidisciplinary artists

Similarly to what happens with the Prado Museum tours , we're concious about what we tell. Therefore, we will talk about minorities, and in many cases, about women artists. Not all that glitters is gold, there is still a lot to do, don't you think so?

Professional guides

Cooltourspain is a team made up of professionals, certified by Madrid city council, to guide Reina Sofia museum tours. We will not only tell you the history of the Spanish capital city, but we'll also show you what is hidden inside the walls of this avant-garde arts center.

Do you know the most popular story about 'Guernica'? We will tell you more details about Pablo Picasso,one of the greatest Spanish artists. Moreover, we'll focus on the XXI century values to reinterpret the story. All what we demand is justice, equality and social empowerment.

Frequently asked questions about the Reina Sofia Museum tours

Is the ticket fee included in the guides' honoraries at the Reina Sofia Museum tours?
No, the entrance fees are not included. Therefore, to know the exact price for the visit, you will have to multiply the €12 entrance fee by the total number of participants, and then add the private guide’s fee for the Prado Museum tours.
How long does the activity take?
If the group consists of a maximum of 9 people (including the professional guide) the visit can last up to a maximum of 3 hours. If, on the other hand, there are more than 9 participants, we’d suggest you to take the 2 hours tour.
Is there any possibility to purchase a ticket at a reduced price?
Yes, of course. Educational groups, i.e primary, middle school and high school students receive free tickets. Likewise, members of associations, institutions and foundations related to art will pay 7€ per person.
Is the monographic explanation of a single painter included?
No, you should know that the explanation covers in a broad way, the whole artistic history. We will not stop exclusively to talk about a single artist. Even so, you can always send us your requests. We’ll send you a quote.

🚶‍♀️🎨 A Must-Do for Street Art Lovers in Madrid! We run Mural Ride Bike Tours in San Antonio, Texas, so believe us when we say—we live and breathe street art. This walking tour through Lavapiés and the surrounding neighborhoods was 🔥. The guide broke down the history of Madrid’s mural scene, gave us the inside scoop on local street art festivals, and even schooled us on the real difference between graffiti and street art (it’s more than just vibes and spray cans). You could feel the passion radiating from our guide—someone who’s clearly rooted in the culture and not just reciting from a script. The art? Stunning. The stories behind it? Even better. 💡 Pro tip: Bring water. We went in July and by noon it was already 32°C (aka “very toasty”). That said, the walking was totally manageable. We’re already plotting a return to see more neighborhoods. And yes—we’ll be sending our San Antonio guests this way when they land in Madrid. Can’t recommend it enough! 🖌️💥 #StreetArtMadrid #SupportLocalTours #MuralRideApproved

Fab Malasaña tour with guide Yago, discovering various pieces of street art and their meaning. This was followed by a workshop with Aida, where we learned about spray painting and made our own ‘art work’. Highly recommended.

Hola Anja. On behalf of Yago and Aida, thanks for your review. We look forward to hosting your group next time you visit Madrid, or Barcelona. Best regards, Javier.

Encantados con Yago. Nos guió a mi y a mí hija de 13 años por la historia y los mensajes ocultos del arte urbano de Madrid. Llevándote a la reflexión a base de preguntas, hemos ido descubriendo un arte al que antes no prestábamos atención. Yago es súper amable, se nota que es un apasionado del tema, y conoce personalmente a los artistas para darte la mejor información. Muy, muy recomendable!!!!

Buenos días, Fernando. ¿Cómo estás? Muchas gracias por escribir tu opinión publicamente. Yago, y el resto del equipo, estamos encantados de dirigir visitas guiadas como la que hicimos el otro día con vosotros. Somos unos apasionados del arte urbano, y de enseñar Madrid de un modo alternativo. Si a tu hija le gusta el graffiti, os esperamos en nuestros talleres para niñas y adolescentes. Un saludo,

Santi fue genial. Desde el primer momento mostró una energía súper cercana y auténtica, lo que hizo que nos sintiéramos cómodos enseguida. La manera en que cuenta las historias: mezcla datos curiosos, anécdotas divertidas y ese toque personal que hace que todo cobre vida. Santi muestra la ciudad desde su lado más cultural y multicultural, guiándonos a través de grafitis, pegatinas y stickers que cuentan historias, luchas y colores del barrio. 😊👌

Pasamos 2 horas estimulantes con Yago que tiene un conocimiento muy amplio del mundo del arte urbano de Lavapiés. Lo que vimos fue muy variado y provocador. Sin embargo, lo más impresionante del tour fue su estilo de comunicación muy interactivo que nos hizo pensar profundamente, no solo sobre las técnicas de los artistas que vimos sino también sobre sus mensajes y objetivos. El hecho de que disfrutamos tanto este tour a pesar de la lluvia torrencial que nos empapó totalmente habla de la calidad de la información y el arte, además de la capacidad de Yago de entretenernos por 2 horas. Recomendaría este tour a cualquier persona con curiosidad e interés en el arte en general. Muchas gracias Yago!

Owner's reply
Hola, Anabella. Que nos hayas dejado esta reseña, nos complace enormemente. Cuando hay lluvia, no podemos hacer otra cosa que dar todo lo mejor de nosotros, para entretener a quien se queda a escuchar nuestras historias sobre arte urbano, y graffiti. Esperamos verte nuevamente en una de nuestras visitas guiadas alternativas por Madrid. Un saludo,

A pesar del mal tiempo que hizo, Santi nos alegró el tour y lo pasamos genial. Somos de Madrid y, aunque hemos pasado mil veces por Lavapies, siempre aprendes cosas nuevas. Gracias Santi por enseñarnos otra cara de Madrid, espectacular e interesante. Seguro que repetimos, esta vez en Malasaña.

Owner's reply
Daniel, muchas gracias por comentar sobre nuestro tour de arte urbano en Lavapiés, y más concretamente por escribir tu reseña sobre el trabajo de nuestro compañero Santi. Esperamos verte pronto en el tour de graffiti por Malasaña. Saludos!
