Your expert local guide will bring you through the enchanting neighborhood of El Born, where you will learn about the life of Pablo Picasso as you take a walking tour through the neighborhood. Your guide will prep you with everything you need to know about Picasso's life before entering the museum to view his works.
Enter the Pablo Picasso Museum - a must see if you want to get to know the artist’s beginnings, as it showcases work from his years as a young boy in Barcelona, enrolled in Art School at the age of 13 after informal training from his father who specialized in paintings of nature. A perfect tour for anyone, art enthusiast or not!
Our tour guide Vitaly was very knowledgeable and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. This was so much better than just doing the tour on our own, or buying the audio option within the museum. Highly recommended!
The guide, Vitaliy was great. Engaging, knowledgeable and fueled all of our questions. He was a pleasure to spend a few hours with and learn not only about Picasso but his adopted city as well. Well done.
Vitaly was a great tour guide, very informative but fun - book your tour with him and you won’t be disappointed!
Vitaly was AMAZING! We learned so much about Picasso and his life. Vitalty was very knowledgeable, personable and professional. He took us through the “Picasso” area of Barcelona where he lived and created his art. Vitaly presented examples of his early works and explained in detail the correlation between his environment and his art. Too many amazing examples to list. I highly recommend Livtour and Vitaly as your guide if you want an exceptional tour.
Vitaly was a pleasure to be with. He was extremely well versed in the history of the area and of Picasso’s life. He made the art and the artist come to life.
We had a fantastic experience on LIV Tours’ Picasso Museum tour in Barcelona with Vitaliy. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested not only in Picasso’s artwork, but also in understanding the person behind the paintings. Vitaliy did an excellent job bringing Picasso’s life to life by weaving together his family, friendships, relationships, the cities where he lived, and the historical and cultural context that shaped his work. Rather than simply discussing individual paintings, he showed how Picasso’s early works reflected his personal circumstances and the broader world around him, making it easy to understand the evolution of his artistic style and the influences that defined his career. What made the tour especially engaging was how seamlessly Vitaliy integrated art, architecture, and history into a single narrative. His passion and depth of knowledge were evident throughout, and he communicated complex ideas in a clear, organized, and accessible way. He also welcomed questions at every stage, thoughtfully adapting his presentation while maintaining a coherent and engaging flow. His respectful, interactive approach fostered curiosity and made the experience feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. This was one of the most insightful museum tours we’ve taken, and it gave us a much deeper appreciation for Picasso, his life, and his art. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona.
Vitaliy did a phenomenal job! Very knowledgeable and charismatic and provided interesting insights throughout the journey. Highly recommended !
We spent 3 hours with Vitaliy on the Picasso walking tour and it was fantastic. We had our good friends and our two youngest daughters (19 and 22) with us and we were all very impressed with the quality of the tour and of Vitaliy’s knowledge of the City of Barcelona, it’s history, and the life and works of Picasso. We all commented that it felt like we just took a college class on these topics and it was perfectly understandable for all of us with different experiences with art and history. I could not recommend a tour more highly than this and for the price it was absolutely a tremendous value for our group of 6. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service to travelers like me. This is the 2nd LIV tour we have taken on our trip so far and the content and presentation is far superior to other tours we have taken includng cruise excursions. I will always prioritize a LIVTour above other choices. We have another tour booked today and we can’t wait to tell you how it went! Thank you again for providing this great tour to the public! It was truly wonderful. Vitaliy was a great ambassador for Barcelona and a great teacher for any group.
Our guide Patrick was knowledgeable , entertaining and responsive. Excellent mix of historic Picasso locations with and art museum.
Patrick was entertaining and exceptionally knowledgeable. The subject matter of Picasso’s early life and work is fascinating. We had an unforgettable morning!
Thank you, Teresa, for a wonderful tour of the neighborhoods of Picasso and the Picasso Museum. My family and I so enjoyed our time together and we got a lot more than just Picasso, it was in effect a tour of the best parts of the Ciutat Vella and all things Picasso. But the real magic was having your experienced eye and explanation of the Museum too. Putting all the context around Picasso's development from a young artist to his mature works was magic. And also placing him in context of the other artists and political figures of his era was so important. I would definitely recommend Teresa for anyone interested in the Gothic areas and the Picasso Museum. It was a fantastic day for us that we will remember always.
Our family had another fun tour with Vitaliy from Liv Tours, this time at the Picasso Museum. After a nice walking history lesson on the way, we got to see the history of Picasso’s life and art at the museum. It was amazing to see his skills as young as age 15 and then see how he progressed throughout his long and storied history. Vitaliy was as knowledgeable and pleasant as ever on this tour, just as he was yesterday at La Sagrada Família. 5 stars again, thanks, Vitaliy!
Our guide, Patrick, was very knowledgeable and informative. He walked us through history with facts and stories. We learned so much about art and Picasso. It was well planned and also fun!
We couldn't have been happier with this experience. Jordi, our guide was both engaging & informative. The tour was laid out very logically to inform us about Pablo Picasso's life. I'm now anxious to do more research on this topic! We loved the tour & Jordi as our guide. I would recommend it to anyone.
Patrick is a very enthusiastic guide. He speaks english very well and was very informative on many things about Picasso. Loved our time!
Patrick was a great tour guide for this tour. He gave us great insight into Picasso’s life and works. Thank you Patrick.😄
We learned so many interesting things and at our own pace. Picasso museum is well worth seeing while in Barcelona. Patrick was a terrific guide who has a wealth of know about Piccaso’s life and his works of art.
Daniella, our guide, was on time, professional and very knowledgeable about Picasso. We enjoyed the Gothic quarter history and the first building of the museum. My wife had to return to the hotel so we were unable to see more of Picasso’s art. Great tour.
This tour just isn't worth the money. Save it for sangria and get the audio self-tour. Our tour also started late and ended up. Just all around a poor experience.
Walking in the path of Picasso through the streets of El Born full of history and culture, set the stage for our tour of the Picasso museum. Daniella brought the experience to life with history and legend of Picasso.
All Picasso, all the time! Fabulous museum, and SO much to see! Worth the vacation hours, and the money. Amazing gift shop for treasure you can bring home. Don’t miss it!
We did 3 LivTours while in Barcelona. Highly recommend as the most knowledgeable guides. Sagrada Familia(Valentina), Picasso ( Montserrat) and high speed train to Girona/Dali museum(Gemma)- all excellent. Their guides are very professional if you are looking to enjoy the experience and learn a lot
Valencia did an outstanding job!!! She was easy to understand , ready with answers ti all our questions and had great suggestions of places to eat and activities in Barcelona.
