The guide was very knowledgeable about Picasso and also his origins. There were many great shops to visit along the way to the museum which were pointed out.

Loved this tour, and loved our tour guide! He was funny and kept the kids interested (which is a skill in itself) for the entire tour. He stayed with us in the museum for a bit and explained the highlights and also was very knowledgeable when we had questions in the end. Would definitely recommend this tour.

The walking tour was great. The tour guide was helpful and knowledgeable and the information and sights were extremely interesting and allowed us to get a vivid picture of Picasso's life and work in Barcelona,

If you like a short, yet informative walking tour, I highly recommend this one. Our tour guide was very knowledgable, patient, and kind to my older mother who had problems walking. _br/_ The tour guide new Picasso's work and life history very well, and she delivered every piece of information with such passion and enthusiasm that it would turn a commen person into an art enthusiast. The tour includes a nice walk into the city's older neighborhood which provides many photography moments. If you like short but sweet, informative but not boring, walking but not running, this is for you. I would do this tour again if given the chance.

This was an amazing tour of picasso and his early life in the gothic quarter. The musuem was fabulous as was our guide who was very knowledgeable about Picasso. Fantastic! We had plenty of time to visit the musuem.

Great tour if youre interested in Picasso! You walk through Barcelona learning about Picasso, then you end the tour at the museum. Great gift shop! Directions for meeting place are confusing. You must go down a flight of stairs at the plaza catauna to find the meeting place. Guide was good, and i like the fact that we all had headphone so that the guide didnt have to scream.

Review by: Christa D	June 2011
The guide was very knowledgeable. This is worth time as most places you would not realize were related to Picasso until he points them out.

Review by: KAREN S	June 2011
It was really interesting walking in the steps of Picasso. Great to see where he lived worked and played and then to see his collection of artworks at the museum on completion of the tour. I would highly recommend this tour.

Review by: Jennifer G	June 2011
I loved this tour because it took you to other places beside just the Picasso museam. The first hour was spent walking around parts of the Gothic quarter and other beautiful neighborhoods. People should note that this is a lot of walking and you do not just spend time in the museam. There were people on our tour who were not interested in the walking tour part so it is important to know.

Review by: Barbara U	April 2011
Wonderful tour guide and we learned so very much. I really really enjoyed all there was to learn.

Very enjoyable. Knowledgeable guide.

Review by: Lita M	October 2010
Very enjoyable tour led by an enthusiastic guide. Only criticism is given the 2 hrs of touring, the meeting site does not include a rest room for the tourists.

Wonderful

Review by: William A K	October 2010
The guide was excellent and the intercom system worked nicely. We were, however, a bit disappointed in the Picasso Museum (which is no fault of Viator or our guide). The Museum has very small rooms. There were many visitors and it was quite crowded and we had difficulty moving around and see the painiting and drawings. I would certainly recommend that the museum try to limit the number of tickets that they sell a bit more. Perhaps visiting the Museum at a different time of day would work better. Our guide was very experienced and actually pointed out some pickpockets that were trailing our tour group and warned us several times to protect our valuables.

Review by: Yogesh J	September 2010
Excellent tour. I would recommend it very highly. The tour not only covers Picasso's life in a beautiful style, it also shows you Barcelona as it existed more than a century ago. You see streets and alleys that you would generally not visit. It gives you a whole new flavor of the charms of Barcelona.

The tour was informative.

Review by: Angela B	July 2010
The guide had some useful information, but we could have done this on our own and saved the money.

Review by: Anonymous, Ireland	June 2010
Does anything sound better that to lose yourself in the tiny winding streets of Barcelona Yes, going with a guide! Soaking up the atmosphere, whilst listening to Picasso's history, and, quite literally, walking in his footsteps. The guide was brilliant! The trip to the Picasso Museum is very short, a run-through past the most important works, but the entrance ticket allowed me to stay on afterward. It couldn't have been better!

Good guide who supported the tour with extra photos and information she had acquired on her own.

Review by: Anonymous, Germany	March 2010

This was great and informative!

Review by: Betty W, United States of America	November 2009
I enjoyed my tour very much. I thought the guide was very knowledgeable of the subject matter and showed his enthusiasm throughout the tour. I am very glad I took the tour, not only to learn more about Picasso, but to see parts of the Gothic Quarter, which I probably wouldn't haven't seen if I didn't go on this tour.

The guide was excellent. He gave us detailed accounts from Picasso's life and made the tour very interesting with anecdotes.

The Picasso Museum was great, but the other stops were worthless and seemed to be a means for trying to make the tour last 2 hours.

Review by: Daniel P, United States of America	May 2009
The walking tour was boring, I recommend just buying admission to the museum and seeing the museum. The walking tour was a waste of time.

Really good but it was a rainy day. Our guide was fantastic.

Nice tour, small group, English speaking tour guide. Picasso Museum was fascinating!

Review by: John W, United States of America	September 2007
We had an excellent guide. If we go back to Barcelona, we will book other tours like this.

Review by: Andrew D, United States of America	July 2007
It was very slow, and the tour guide lost a few of the people. He was walking very fast, and didn't mind that the others were hot or older. Also, he would pass the actual sight, and then say, we just passed the blah blah blah.

What a waste of money and time! The guide didn't speak English clearly and was hard to understand as the group was too big. You can go yourselves and visit Picasso museum without a guide.
