Went on this tour with my family as my daughter is studying art, great guide who was very informative and engaging. The museum itself left me a little underwhelmed but was interesting.
The tour was very good. The guide was wonderful and provided much information. He highlighted certain pieces of art created by Picasso as well as Picasso's father. I really enjoyed learning about Picasso the painter, the man and the evolution of his work. The tour was just the right length of time - 90 minutes.
Very interesting museum about Picasso’s early life. Not any of his later or famous works. Your guide was friendly and knowledgeable but spend too long at each point talking which required at of standing. Less is more!
Jordi was very passionate about Picasso. My husband and I loved the tour. I learned more about Picasso from Jordi than my Art History class!
Museum set in a beautiful medieval house The collection was superb. I learned a lot about Picasso’s life and personality and the impact on his creativity
Wonderful tour with our guide Romina from Icono Barcelona. She was so knowledgeable about Picasso, his life and works and her delivery was engaging. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended.
Great guide! Very informative,
Our tour guide was incredible. We didn’t just walk around the museum; they gave us such a thorough and fascinating introduction to the different periods of Picasso’s life and work. Hearing about Picasso through them made the whole experience feel truly special. Thank you so much—I’m so glad I got to spend today with you. You were amazing, and I really appreciate all the time and effort you put into the tour!
It was fascinating. Learning about Picasso’s evolution was eye opening. Jordy was knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Do this!
Very informative and interesting. Romena was an excellent host! Very knowledgeable, kind, and friendly.
An excellent tour. Interesting, informative and a real learning guide. Jorge was a super guide who made a bug diffeeence to the quality of the tour
Liked the tour. Pleasant, knowledgeable guide. Excellent English. In a short time she helped us to learn quite a bit about Picasso’s art as well as the artist himself.
Anna was the best tour guide. Great knowledge and sense of humor. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Thank you
Our guide, Sylvia, was very knowledgeable about Picasso's life and artwork. In addition to her passion for Picasso she was fun and very personable. It was like having a friend take you around. And to top it off she gave us a great recommendation for a dinner spot where we ended up eating at that night. A very good recommendation!
Jordi was an outstanding guide! He was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about his subject. His explanations were insightful, engaging, and brought the history and culture to life. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional guided tour.
Silvia our guide was just amazing, very informative facts I didn’t know about Picasso , would recommend to anyone that love arts
The Guide was great and she provided us with so much information that we wouldn’t have gotten on our own. I highly recommend.
Great guide in beautiful museum. Very informative in a town where Picasso lived and worked. Learned a lot.
Our guide, in English, was phenomenal. Highly recommend this tour. Very informative and kind. I recommend this tour for all adults.
What a wonderful tribute to Picasso. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and gave us so much information! I had no background information on his life and the sequences of his art journey but I do now! Would definitely come back for another tour!
I did really enjoy it, I learned a lot about the stages of Picassos art. The tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Christina was very knowledgeable and made the experience very memorable and informative
Beyond than good! First of all o would like to separately say big thank you to Christian who managed the booking. She was so kind to reschedule me to later timing during the same day because I couldn’t make it last minute to my tour. I really appreciate it. The Picasso guided tour was great as well . The tour guide had excellent English and went through almost every painting keeping things interesting but also light! I would recommend to buy this tour it is absolutely worth it!
Our guide, Moha, was incredible . He brought the story of Gaudi and his vision to life for us, pointing out all the hidden and not so hidden symbolism of Sagrada Familia. We examined both the interior and exterior of the building and I came away with the feeling that this is most remarkable building in Europe, surpassing Notre Dame, the Alhambra, and Westminster Abbey. I highly recommend this tour.
This is a must see!!! Our guide was a local and was very knowledgeable. She is a historian and has lots of fun facts. Picasso was a character!!!!
Very interesting to hear the life story of Picasso and see the stages he went through with his art.!!
We went at 1500 . Please be advised , you move from room to room almost in a maze . There were lots of tour groups and it was very loud at times . Very very crowded . I would recommend going earlier in the day unless you enjoy being shoulder to shoulder . The guide tried his best which meant viewing out of order but it was the only way we could hear him . The guide ( John ) was very informative
This is a marvelous experience. Our guide Lydia guided us thru the life and works of Picasso and his place in the world of art. I highly recommend this experience
Romona our guide was excellent. She has in-depth information regarding all the paintings we saw and gave time to move around the museum . Since the museum is housed within 5 palazzos from the medieval Era, she even pointed out architecture to appreciate the building. Meeting point was just a few meters away and easy to find.
We had the best guide named Marc at the Picasso Museum in Barcelona. I learned so much about the artist and our guide made Picasso’s life and art so interesting. This tour is a must!!
She did a wonderful job walking us through Picasso‘s life, and she was very engaging and kept everyone’s interest.
Knowledgeable and charming guide. The museum is very accessible. The artwork is chronological and they have some rare and insightful pieces. Our guide Lydia knew her material and presented it in a very nice and interesting way.
Paloma was a great guide. The Museum was very interesting and provided much information and many works about Picasso's very early years. Much different from his later work. A great tour.
Incredibly interesting and vibrant tour. Knowledgeable and enfaging guide!
Very knowledgable and gracious guide. Made the experience accessible and fun. She made sure everyone was taken care of I.e. needing the washroom, not getting lost, that we could hear her.
Excellent guide, very knowledgeable and well paced tour
Romina was a terrific guide being very personable and knowledgeable. The only complaint was that a tour of 20 people in a small crowded museum was not enjoyable. It should have been limited to 10 per group. Other museum tours on this trip were better for this reason.
Guide was very knowledgeable and funny. Great experience with a lot of backstory on his life. The museum has a nice lay out
This was a very enjoyable and illuminating experience! Romina is an awesome guide who knows her art history and also is very engaging. I learned a lot about Picasso’s evolution as an artist, from a very gifted teenager immersed in academic painting to a mature artist who developed his own inimitable cubist style.
Romina is an excellent guide: engaging, calm, organized, knowledgeable and with a nice sense of subtle humor. I learned a lot about Picasso and his evolution as an artist.
Great guide, however we were 25 minutes late entering the museum. Things seemed a little disorganized at the start. Due to the late start we were not able to spend as much time in the museum as we were on a tight schedule.
Lovely tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Informative tour. Different perspective of artist that we appreciated. Would recommend this tour
Since I missed the Picasso museum on my trip to Paris this was on my to-do list for Barcelona, the guided tour was almost the same price as the regular ticket but well worth it!!! 100% recommended…
It’s best to have a hired tour guide who explains so much about Picasso’s life and personal history. Also it’s a much better way to understand Picasso’s evolution in his artwork
From beginning to end a well organised and very informative and enjoyable tour! Our guide was a natural - keeping us entertained throughout at just the right pace. Sharing her superb knowledge alongside her own anecdotes.
Our guide was very professional and engaging. Her knowledge of Picasso’s work was impressive and the facility and collection was amazing.
Not the best selection of Picasso art work.
Our tour guide, Olga, was exeptional with regards to her knowledge of Picasso. Her tour was interactive and energetic. Her passion was palpable.
Lydia did an excellent job! She has lots of back stories about Picasso that made the tour very interesting. Well worth it!
Firstly, our guide was fantastic. Very easy to listen to and great information and stories that helped guide the visit. I was a little disappointed that there weren’t more well-known Picasso’s. It seemed a little thin. But overall, a very nice experience.
