This doesn't include a guided tour of the Picasso Museum. Very very disappointed. What is the point?
Hi Sharon, Due to museum regulations the host will not join you in the museum but will provide you with the entrance tickets. We always aim to clearly communicate what is and isn’t part of each experience, and we regret if this was not made clear before booking. We will review the tour description to ensure it sets the right expectations for future guests. Cheers, Withlocals Team
We loved this tour!Our lovely guide, Fiorella was charming and knowledgeable and the museum is beautiful!
Our tour guide was phenomenal. We did walking tour of Barcelona to all places that Picasso went to as person. Great seeing his home and school. I appreciated that we got to go to El Gats, the restaurant he went to with other artists of Modernist movement. I appreciated learning about the Picasso, the person. She also showed us columns from the Romans.
We were excited to get the confirmation of a guided tour. A day before we were told there were no tickets for a guided tour. That was a huge disappointment and did not reflect well on your company.
We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience caused by the last-minute cancellation of your guided tour. We understand how frustrating it is to have your plans disrupted, especially after receiving confirmation. This is not the level of service we strive to deliver, and we are taking steps to ensure such issues are prevented in the future. Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we deeply regret not meeting your expectations on this occasion.
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!
Sebastian was terrific! He had a great depth of knowledge and provided key insights on Picasso and his life, as well as the broader history and context of Spain. The tour also included the Gothic Quarters and entry to the Picasso Museum. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, and highly recommend it. Seb was friendly, approachable and engaging. Many thanks!
We were fortunate to have Alan as our guide! He taught us so much about Picasso and the history and culture of Barcelona! Having an expert lead us through the winding streets allowed us to really see the city!!
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.
What an amazing customized walk thru Barcelona - even tho our 2x here - it was a new Barcelona experience with Octavio ending at the Picasso museum. & your abanico helped with the heat! Gracias por todo
Fiorella was an amazing tour guide. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Picasso and the Barcelona area. She had great historical stories that brought the experience to life
