Traveler reviews
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.
Another Great Tour With Vitaliy
Our family had another fun tour with Vitaliy from Liv Tours, this time at the Picasso Museum. After a nice walking history lesson on the way, we got to see the history of Picasso’s life and art at the museum. It was amazing to see his skills as young as age 15 and then see how he progressed throughout his long and storied history. Vitaliy was as knowledgeable and pleasant as ever on this tour, just as he was yesterday at La Sagrada Família. 5 stars again, thanks, Vitaliy!
Fantastic ART tour
Our guide, Patrick, was very knowledgeable and informative. He walked us through history with facts and stories. We learned so much about art and Picasso. It was well planned and also fun!
We couldn't have been...
We couldn't have been happier with this experience. Jordi, our guide was both engaging & informative. The tour was laid out very logically to inform us about Pablo Picasso's life. I'm now anxious to do more research on this topic! We loved the tour & Jordi as our guide. I would recommend it to anyone.
Wonderful Patrick
Patrick is a very enthusiastic guide. He speaks english very well and was very informative on many things about Picasso. Loved our time!
