“Purtroppo dopo aver pagato, due giorni prima dell’attività mi è stato comunicato che la prenotazione per quel giorno era stata annullata per ragioni di sicurezza ovvero per overbooking! mi è stato proposto un cambio con la visita ad altri musei ma io le avevo già prenotate.. tramite chat mi hanno contattato e abbiamo concordato un rimborso ma mi è stato specificato che era per pura cortesia non per obbligo legale!!se avessi letto che c’era questa possibilità di non fare la visita per overbooking certo non avrei prenotato, e penso proprio che prenoterò sempre e solo sui siti ufficiali. devo però dire che l’assistenza è stata comunque buona e risolutiva in…”
Walk through Madrid’s Las Ventas bullring at your own pace with an English audio guide. See the arena, stands, bullfighting museum, historic costumes, videos, and a virtual bullfighting game. Allow 30 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, and consider visiting when no bullfight is scheduled for easier arena access.
“My husband and I visited on a Sunday, early afternoon and it wasn't crowded. Walked right up to the entrance (after a short Uber from the city center) and the attendant provided us with the audio guide in our desired language. The tour is self guided which is great because you can go at your own place. The overall narration is very interesting and contains a good history.

Obviously bullfighting has major cultural importance in Spain but is also somewhat controversial these days given the killing of the bull. Setting that aside, the venue is…”
Use your one-day ticket to explore Madrid’s Reina Sofía at your own pace, with permanent-collection access and a multilingual in-app audio guide.

“Ho acquistato la visita al museo compresa di audio-guida. Il biglietto è stato acquistato qualche ora prima dell’ingresso e questo non ha consentito di ricevere in tempo il link per scaricare l’audio-guida, dovendo quindi spendere ulteriore denaro per comprare quella ufficiale del museo. Devo dire però, che dopo un primo momento di sconforto per l’accaduto, ho avuto il piacere di constatare che il servizio clienti è subito a disposizione e si rende immediatamente disponibile a risolvere il problema. Dopo circa 5 giorni ho ricevuto il rimborso per l’audio-guida che non ho avuto possibilità di utilizzare. Tutto è bene quel che finisce bene!”
