Recommend checking to see that you are being assigned a guide who specializes in Picasso Museum. Value for money not satisfactory

This is an absolute must to visit in Valencia. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about everything Picasso! Wonderful tour
The life and timeline of a genius is chronicled in an enlightened,chronological tour that will enhance your understanding of the art and metamorphosis of Picasso.
Silvina gave a great tour of Picasso and created a captivating narrative on his life and work. Very thoughtful and well organized. She took the time out to answer questions and she kept things interesting for the whole tour by bringing Picasso and his works to life. This tour was the highlight of my trip in Malaga!
Silvina.my guide was knowledgeable about Picasso and his works of art that were displayed at the museum. She made it a very enjoyable experience.
Silvina was absolutely great. Her love for Picasso's life clearly showed in her tour of his birthplace home as well as the Museum tour. Highly recommend her and her tour. She had answers to every one of our questions and with a very positive attitude.
Thanks to tour lovely Silvina guide we expanded our knowledge of Picasso.. She made it most enjoyable with her charm and grateful to avoid the croeds
This was a first class tour, the highlight of our trip to Malaga. Silvina was able to really get Picasso off the page for us. She spoke passionately, with so much knowledge to impart. We learned so much, thank you.
Wanted to visit the museum in the birthplace of Picasso. It was a self guided tour. My husband required a wheelchair easy to get. It was a bit of a walk from where the taxi let us off. Very busy for a Monday. We were there about 1 1/2 hrs. Very interesting look into why he painted the way he did.
It was lovely. Sylvia was knowledgable. We had teenagers which were not so interested in Picasso nor art…Sylvia managed to guide them through reading their mood and adjusting accordingly. Definitely recommend her with a diverse group. The museum is small and there were the audio guide, you could easily manage without a guide. However, as a big group with teenagers with hot weather with long line at the entrance, we were glad to have her as our guide she made the experience more smooth and pleasant.
The guide was excellent explain every room in the museum. He provide time to see the painting with detail.
Was a very nice if small art museum that was easy to get around as there was only 1 salon on each of 2 floors
This was a wonderful tour and really helped us gain a new understanding of Picasso and an appreciation of his work. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. I highly recommend this experience!
Terrific experience. We have done this same tour several years ago and learned so much more from Silvina! Her knowledge of Picasso, art and history were amplified by her enthusiasm. Highly recommend this tour!
Very informative friendly great English ability personable everything we expected. Deep knowledge about Picasso locations biography and artworks.
Fabulous and informative tour. Monica was great and provided lots of interesting information about Malaga. It was fascinating going round the museum with her and she bought Picasso’s work to life. Highly recommend
The Picasso collection is definitely worth a visit and it was helpful to have a knowledgeably guide.
Came hear late February on a Sunday it was free entry and if we had to would have happily paid the €8 entry well worth it and very interesting would definitely go again 100%
Museum is set in an interesting old building, palace. Well worth visit even if there are not much of best known Picasso's works. It is interesting to see, how he developed his style and different works. There is also a small archeological exhibition in the basement.
Our tour was great! Sylvia had a lot of great history of Malaga and appreciation of the arts to share with us. We traveled to Malaga with our 3 boys, ages 13,12,10. Highly recommend the visit to Picasso’s birthplace and museum. Great history.
If you are interested in Picasso, then be sure to see his one. Most of the items are lesser known, but give a good perspective on the career and the changes that he went through.
This museum contains a import collection of Picasso's works in a very classy building. However, having previously visited the Picasso museum in Barcelona I was a little disappointed. The Barcelona collection as I remember was larger and more informative of the way Picasso constructed his works and so was better presented.
<p>Sylvia made the Picasso experience come alive. Slyvias knowledge of Picassos life and works with the overlay of history was very intriguing. Not only did Sylvia give us a deeper understanding of Picasso, she also gave us a feel for the great history of Malaga.</p>
Intimate and a walk through Picasso's style from realism to cubism. Located on a back street near the catherdral. It has a beautiful courtyard. Highly recommend!
<p>Sylvia was a terrific tour guide. She gave me great insights into Picasso's life and provided her own interpretations of what made his Artwork genius. She even went out of her way to show me local Malaga sites, like the roman ruins, varoius churches, and the very famous El Pimpi. I highly recommend this tour for those looking for a more intimate, in depth experience regarding Picasso.</p>
Seeing the number of people waiting to enter the museum, I was very glad to have booked a guided tour with Civitatis and not wait in line to enter. Our guide was Rocio, magnificent. I really appreciated, since understanding Picasso's paintings is not easy at all, the explanations she gave us about them throughout a tour very well studied and selected by her.
