Traveler reviews
Picasso Museum with Vitaliy
Vitaliy did a phenomenal job! Very knowledgeable and charismatic and provided interesting insights throughout the journey. Highly recommended !
Fun, Informative, and Wonderful for our entire group!
We spent 3 hours with Vitaliy on the Picasso walking tour and it was fantastic. We had our good friends and our two youngest daughters (19 and 22) with us and we were all very impressed with the quality of the tour and of Vitaliy’s knowledge of the City of Barcelona, it’s history, and the life and works of Picasso. We all commented that it felt like we just took a college class on these topics and it was perfectly understandable for all of us with different experiences with art and history. I could not recommend a tour more highly than this and for the price it was absolutely a tremendous value for our group of 6. Thank you for providing such a wonderful service to travelers like me. This is the 2nd LIV tour we have taken on our trip so far and the content and presentation is far superior to other tours we have taken includng cruise excursions. I will always prioritize a LIVTour above other choices. We have another tour booked today and we can’t wait to tell you how it went! Thank you again for providing this great tour to the public! It was truly wonderful. Vitaliy was a great ambassador for Barcelona and a great teacher for any group.

Excellent Picasso Tour
Thank you, Teresa, for a wonderful tour of the neighborhoods of Picasso and the Picasso Museum. My family and I so enjoyed our time together and we got a lot more than just Picasso, it was in effect a tour of the best parts of the Ciutat Vella and all things Picasso. But the real magic was having your experienced eye and explanation of the Museum too. Putting all the context around Picasso's development from a young artist to his mature works was magic. And also placing him in context of the other artists and political figures of his era was so important. I would definitely recommend Teresa for anyone interested in the Gothic areas and the Picasso Museum. It was a fantastic day for us that we will remember always.
