My husband and I very much enjoyed our tour with Tomas. He was knowledgeable and shared interesting information about Picasso which made the museum extra special! Tomas was very kind and easy to talk with about many topics, not just what he had planned for the tour which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend this tour!

Truly wonderful experience!!!
Valentina was a fabulous guide. Gave us a wonderful overview of Picasso’s life, artwork, and area where he lived.
Thomas was the best tour guide
Rachelle was Very knowledgeable and very nice.
Eoghan is a tall, handsome, gentleman.
Eaghan (handsome Irish guy) was an excellent tourguide. He gave us a lot of information and a perfect inside on the life of Picasso. He is very passionate about Arts and has profound knowlegde beyond Picasso. The size of the group was perfect.
We did the Picasso walking tour and museum and had a great time. Eoghan was knowledgeable and entertaining, easily holding everyone’s attention and encouraging group participation. He was very friendly, taking time to get to know members of the group in between spots. In addition to being knowledgeable about Picasso, he’s also an expert in all things Barcelona and beyond and had many recommendations to share!
Eoghan was a wonderful knowledgeable Picasso tour guide. Learned alot of historical information.
Our experience was great,Omar was awesome
I leave a five-star rating because I don't want to mess with their rating, but we were never able to connect with our tour. We arrived 1 minute late at the meeting point. We looked around and could not find the orange flag that our tour guide was supposed to be carrying. We texted the provider via the viator text app and it took 20 or 30 minutes to get a response. I asked for the phone number of the guide so we could call and connect, but they didn't have a number that we could call. They sent us the meeting points along the way in the text to try and hook up. I and my wife stayed at meeting point 3 for an hour. I then left my wife at meeting point 3, and went back to meeting point 2, a gallery that was due to close at 2:00 p.m., just 10 minutes later. I asked them if any Picasso tour group had been through that day and he said no. I strongly suspect that we were the only two who had booked this excursion that day as we did our very best to hook up with the excursion that apparently never went to meeting point number two. We finally went to the Picasso museum on our own after an hour and one half of futile searching for our group. Ended up spending our own money to get into the museum. I must say that it was a pretty darned frustrating experience for my wife and myself. I've got to think though, giving all the wonderful reviews, that we were in the minority of not having a good experience.
Thanks to our amazing guide Thomas, we shared amazing experience about the not only Picasso but also Barcelona history,
Thomas was very informative and had a fun personality. Highly recommend.
EOGHAN was amazing and very friendly I enjoyed the tour and learn so much
Fantastic guided tour with Eoghan
Eoghan was very friendly and knowledgeable. He made everyone feel comfortable. He was both full of facts and humor.
Our guide Eogan was knowledgeable and helpful with our group. He gave us an insight into Picasso and his early life in Barcelona and the influences that brought us the art.
Owen was a great guide. Very informative and very fun. Would definitely recommend for anyone visiting Barcelona
Thomas was perfect blend of facts and entertainment, sharing some insights that most Picasso fans don’t know.
Thomas is amazing. He showed us AROUND Barcelona and gave a very fun and accessible history of Picasso. THANK YOU THOMAS
I highly recommend this walking tour to learn about Picasso‘s early life and development into the world renowned artist he became. It includes his early formative years attending art school where his father taught and significant relationships with other artists in Spain and France. It covered his high and low points in life and did not shy away from his time spent in bars and brothels that inspired him significantly.
Perrine was excellent in covered all aspects of Picasso‘s life in a tour of the city showing us everywhere he frequented
This was a fun & interesting tour! Our tour guide Eoghan was so knowledgeable about Picasso, not only about his life but also lots of fun facts about some of his paintings and the neighborhoods where he was a young artist. The Picasso Museum was wonderful - a must see in Barcelona! We didn’t do the optional wine and food tasting but did visit Els Quatre Gats for some delicious tapas and beer!
Excellent tour ahead of our visit to the Picasso museum! Eoghan was the best tour guide of our trip! Highly recommend taking this tour ahead of the visit to the museum!
Excellent walk-in tour to take ahead of visit to Picasso museum. Eoghan was the best tour guide we had on our trip here in Barcelona! So knowledgeable about Barcelona and Picasso.
enjoyable history if Picasso in Barcelona. not too far of a walk.
Our guide Perrine is amazing, we've been to 5 different tours during our time in Barcelona with Amigo, Buendia and TB travel. This tour is one of the best similar to our Tourguide Marc with TB tour. I have to say Amigo and Buendia are terrible that we dont even want to tips. This walking tour Perrine was friendly, kind, the tour was informative and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to others. But be aware and do not go with Amigo or Buendia
We had the best time. Eoghan was a fantastic guide!
Very knowledgeable and interesting!
Eoghan is fabulous, charming and very informative. Definitely suggest this.
Eoghan gave a very informative tour. He has made Barcelona his home and you can tell how much he loves it.
Wonderful experience walking around and learning with Eoghan!
Cal was great! A relaxed and lovely tour. We learned a lot about Picasso and his life in Spain, and a lot about the Spanish buildings here.
I want to take a moment to recognize the outstanding support I received from Eoghen (“Owen”). The tips, ideas, and guidance he provided were not only helpful — they were genuinely next-level. His depth of knowledge, clarity of thinking, and ability to quickly understand what I needed set him apart from anyone I’ve worked with before. What impressed me most was not just what he knew, but how he delivered it. He was thoughtful, strategic, patient, and incredibly effective at translating complex concepts into practical, actionable advice. His personality made the entire experience enjoyable and collaborative, and his professionalism made it easy to trust his recommendations. Simply put, Owen was exceptional. He added real value, and I’m grateful for the experience.
Very friendly guide Owen speaking pretty good English language . You get a lot of information of the growing up of Picasso
Pirenne was an excellent tour guide ! She made it so incredibly interesting and informative. Highly recommend.
Perrine was a fabulous guide! We learned so much about Picasso’s life and the influences on his paintings. She is one of the best guides we’ve had. Her enthusiasm is infectious and her knowledge was deep. She was on time and Experience First did a great job with reminders and giving us the meeting location
Our tour guide jay, .The handsome man from ireland was very, very knowledgeable personable and made learning about picasso's life early childhood and his painting years, very interesting.
Great !!!!!!!!!!' absolutely interesting ...Owen engaging and knowledgable ! Thank You We will recommend to any friends .
Terrible experience with ExperienceFirst. We booked a tour for December 3rd, and the company arbitrarily changed it to December 1st without notifying us or asking for approval. We were not even in Barcelona yet when they moved the date. This is completely unacceptable and shows total disregard for paying customers. The company is disorganized, unprofessional, and irresponsible. Do not trust them with your time or money.
Eoghan was very knowledgeable and was great at storytelling! I learned many new things about Picasso and his backstory, and throughly enjoyed the overall experience. Would highly recommend!!
“Owen” (the tall, handsome Irish ☘️ fellow) was fantastic! He was so knowledgeable and nice. It was great. Wish I had him on a city tour I did.
Perrine, the tour guide, had a wealth of knowledge about Picasso and made the tour very enjoyable. I highly recommend the tour if you are a fan of Picasso or just want to learn a little more about Picasso.
It was our first day in Barcelona and this tour was the very first thing we did here. Cal was an excellent guide, full of information about Picasso's life. He kept us all engaged and he ended the tour with recommendations for restaurants and other experiences we were interested in. What a lovely way to start our stay here!
Our tour guide was Eoghan who was super nice, very passionate and made the tour very pleasant. He brough the life of Picasso to us in a fun and imteresting way which we loved. 10/10
Eoghan was perfect! The most engaging guide on our tour. He is knowledgeable and fun. His storytelling is amazing and he made our day. Thank you so much for the lovely time <3
Although the experience had an address to meet at, mI assumed, incorrectly, that the meeting place would be near the museum. It wasn't. Although the meeting point was specified, I believe that it should have specified that the meeting point was NOT near the museum. My wife and I missed both the tour and the museum entry fee. We had to pay for entry to the museum even though we had paid for it with this excursion. Frustrating. I have never before missed an meeting point for a viator tour.
Thomas was a delight, passionate about Barcelona and Pablo Picasso. His tour really brought to Picasso to life and provided interesting background coupled with selected paintings used for examples. Of course if you don’t like Picasso I’m sure most will enjoy watching Thomas himself 😂 He was friendly and open and spoke perfect English with a wonderful French accent. We opted for the wine and cheese tasting, this is where Eoghan (Owen) came in! We followed this Irish gentleman to a place that served the best meat, cheese and wine. I wasn’t sure this was a worthwhile add-on but I was WRONG. Not only was it really fun getting to know Eoghan, but the tasting was incredibly delicious. Irish charm and delicious tastes n Barcelona - what could be better?
Our day started with disaster. Our hotel's elevators failed leaving guests struggling to exit. We were on 10th floor. Experience First worked so well with us. We failed to connect with the walking tour, but their staff sent us our Picasso Museum tickets directly and tried to help us connect with the tour. Our day was saved, when Thomas met us at the museim exit and led us personally to our wine and food tasting. Great wines, great food, great company. I will look for and recommend Experience First going forward;)
We had Thomas as our walking Picasso guide he was excellent very knowledgeable and charismatic we learnt a lot about Picasso during the tour we got sent our tickets for the museum by e mail efficiently during the tour did not have the time unfortunately to enjoy museum we were flying home but will definitely come back.
