Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"Elvira was very nice and great with the kids. The tour was informative and the architecture on the way to the museum and the history behind it was wonderful. I would highly recommend Elvira. "
"We loved every minute of our tour with Liliia. She added a lot of additional not well known anecdotal information to our Picasso tour and also included more information about Barcelona and Guadi we had not received before. She was a delight!"
"Together with our teenage daughters we did a tour with a Picasso theme. Sebastian did a great job making it very engaging and bringing history to life. He adapted it to our interests, mixing in other interesting history of Barcelona, its artists and Spain in general. Good mix between walking around and taking stops at different landmarks. "
"Liliia was a wonderful guide who provided a very informative and entertaining tour of Picasso’s Barcelona. We saw “hidden” treasures of Picasso’s art as well as Miro, and other street artists. We got a good feel for Picasso’s time in Barcelona before seeing the Picasso Museum. If we had more time, we would do more tours with Liliia!"
"Liliia is an engaging guide who showed me many interesting historical and art inspired sights I’d have never found on my own. She was an absolutely delightful guide. "
"We had a great time walking with our guide Liliia. She was very informative and friendly. We would definitely recommend her to anyone interested in Barcelona and it’s history "
"We were a group of 5 ladies on the tour and everyone enjoyed it very much. Fiorella had a pleasant demeanor and shared a wealth of knowledge about Picasso’s life and art, as well as about local traditions, culture and history. "
"We had a lovely 3 hour tour. Fiorella was kind and informative 😊"
"Fiorella was wonderful. Very personable and a vast amount of knowledge about Picasso and the city of Barcelona as well. Highly recommended!"
"Hanna was a great guide. She is an expert not only in art history but also Barcelona, it’s people and it’s heritage. We loved exploring the city with her. Gitte "

Imagine seeing Barcelona through the eyes of a young Picasso. Our private Picasso Tour, led by a passionate local guide, takes you beyond the museum walls to the very streets that inspired the master artist.

Picasso's melancholic Blue Period was deeply influenced by his life and struggles in Barcelona. On a Picasso Tour, a local guide can reveal the stories and locations that inspired these iconic masterpieces.
Taste the artistic spirit of old Barcelona! Picasso frequented Els Quatre Gats, a cafe where he held his first solo exhibition. It's a cultural landmark and a perfect stop on your authentic Picasso Tour.
The Picasso Museum in Barcelona exists because the artist himself wanted it here, gifting many early works. A private tour helps you understand this special bond between Picasso and his beloved city.
Feel the artist's presence in the medieval streets of El Born. A guide on your Picasso tour can point out his first studio and the art school where he perfected his craft, making his story come alive.
