Very knowledgeable and friendly guide. Loved the devices that were used to hear the guide - that really made the experience!

Greg_O

The museum was not the easiest to navigate and the staff at the museum were not that helpful. We spent time at the beginning with some side exhibits that we would have skipped if we knew where to go to see the Picasso pieces. The audio guide provided way too much detail and we found the museum somewhat overwhelming. However, if you are really into art or Picasso, maybe it would be right for you.

The Picasso Museum is very well laid out according to his painting periods. We enjoyed our tour by our guide, Josef. It was particularly interesting to see Picasso’s many versions of Velasquez’s “Las Maninas”.

Roberta_A

Tour guide very knowledgeable. However first a woman handed out our audio equipment, but she never said who she was or that she was with the tour group or talked to any of us that had been waiting there for quite a while. Then the gentleman tour guide came. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job except that he went from room to room very quickly and left people without checking for them and additionally, the tour started extremely late. Disappointing in tour set up, however, loved the museum and information.

Charlene_J

The guide took us through each room rather than focusing on few select pieces and thus felt long. Since the museum is not that big, you can tour the museum on your own.

We have never encountered a problem with a tour through Viator until now. We purchased a walking tour along with the Picasso museum. We received an email saying walking tour had been cancelled. Now the tour would be 90 mins instead of 2 hrs without any compensation. At this time it was too late to obtain Picasso tickets independently so we decided to keep our tour reservation. We received conflicting information regarding meeting place. Person meeting guide and group arrived 30 minutes after appointed time. No answer to email, text or calls placed. Guide was on time but Julia travel rep was apologetic or helpful. She passed out audio device but was rude to guide. The guide was pleasant and knowledgeable but tour was not what we signed up for. With proper notice that part of the tour was cancelled we could have done the museum on our own for half the cost. Highly recommend avoiding Julia’s travel tours ( to no fault of the guide).

We were delighted to walk through the ancient streets of Barcelona to arrive at Picasso’s most beloved gift to Barcelona. His early works including sketches, family history, his passions and his periods were gifted to Barcelona by himself out of love for the city and its residents. This is a must see to understand another side of Barcelona’s people and history. It’s a must see!

Found out tour was canceled when we arrived at the meeting place. But luckily they still gave us the museum tickets and refunded the difference. The young ladies working the desk seemed very anxious telling us, but were very nice and seemed very relieved when we weren't upset. Got our tickets and enjoyed our visit to the museum!

Wonderland walking through the Born neighborhood and hearing about the history of Barcelona. Our guide Marc was knowledgable and well versed in picasso

Our guide was very informative and pleasant. I wish there was more time added to the walking tour as it was very fast paced! Early in the morning was great for walking the streets without traffic and crowds.
