Olga G was excellent and gave a lot of great information and insight using the art collection from Picasso and others.
Olaga E was very knowledgeable and brought an artistic eye to the tour. We were very impressed and enjoyed her enthusiasm.
Olga E was an excellent guide. She was well informed, personable, and made the experience memorable. The live demonstration on how to appreciate perspective by walking around the art was particularly insightful. Definitely take this tour - you won't regret it.
We had a guided tour. The pick up point was a little sketch. I don't recall any signs. We found the street and then the number. After standing there we finally saw guy holding a paper sign for the tour. The guide was very enthusiastic about Picasso and really knew her stuff. I liked that she added her perspective on some of the artwork-gave us food for thought. Not a lot of places to sit, so there is a lot of standing in one place. Rooms were "lightly cooled". We walked in warm from the outside, so it took a long time to cool down. Museum store had a lot of various Picasso branded items offered as usual. The Picasso cafe was my favorite spot. We went there for something to drink after the tour and added a croissant and sandwich to our order. The butter croissant was the best I've ever had and the grilled cheese and ham sandwich also very yummy. We thought it was going to be expensive given where it was located, but the prices were not out of the norm.
The location to meet was a little misleading, but we figured it out. Our female Spanish guide was outstanding. She engaged the group and told a story about Picasso’s life as we wove through the gallery. We highly recommend this tour. We learned a lot.
Very interesting! I discovered aspects of Picasso I didn't know. The guide was nice and entertaining...I'd recommend it
Very informative. And the museum is in a really cool area to explore full of ancient narrow streets and interesting little shops. Definitely worth it.
Our tour guide was informative. She gave interesting side notes of the paintings and made it interactive with the group. We were a small group and at the end we were able to roam around to explore further or take photos. The meeting place was nearby and the person in charge is very responsive for if you have any questions. As for getting there, the taxi will drop you off nearby because the actual museum and meeting place are in an alley street where cars are not permitted to drive on.
So pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed this tour. Our guide was really good and made things more interesting. We were able to hear her well and she was very aware of her group.
Christina was fan so knowledgable and clearly has a passion for art, thank you Christina!
