Barcelona Picasso Museum and Walking Tour
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Journey through Picasso’s life in Barcelona to learn how the city shaped his art. We’ll visit Els Quatre Gats Restaurant, once a tavern and hangout for Picasso and his friends. This was the first place he exhibited his genius.
As we explore Picasso’s Barcelona, we’ll visit other sites that inspired or hosted his early works. Hear the story of the women behind “Les Demoiselles d'Avinyó.” See the former Fine Arts Academy where he studied. At the Sala Parès, a former paint shop where he displayed his art, we may even step inside to see how it has evolved into a gallery, hosting very different work now than in Picasso’s day.
At the close, your guide leads you down the picturesque Carrer Montcada. This medieval street houses the Picasso Museum, where you’ll continue inside with your skip-the-line ticket. If you’ve selected the upgrade, your guide will lead you on a tour of the museum’s most significant pieces, sharing the secrets behind the many paintings, sketches, and sculptures.

5.00I leave a five-star rating because I don't want to mess with their rating, but we were never able to connect with our tour. We arrived 1 minute late at the meeting point. We looked around and could not find the orange flag that our tour guide was supposed to be carrying. We texted the provider via the viator text app and it took 20 or 30 minutes to get a response. I asked for the phone number of the guide so we could call and connect, but they didn't have a number that we could call. They sent us the meeting points along the way in the text to try and hook up. I and my wife stayed at meeting point 3 for an hour. I then left my wife at meeting point 3, and went back to meeting point 2, a gallery that was due to close at 2:00 p.m., just 10 minutes later. I asked them if any Picasso tour group had been through that day and he said no. I strongly suspect that we were the only two who had booked this excursion that day as we did our very best to hook up with the excursion that apparently never went to meeting point number two. We finally went to the Picasso museum on our own after an hour and one half of futile searching for our group. Ended up spending our own money to get into the museum. I must say that it was a pretty darned frustrating experience for my wife and myself. I've got to think though, giving all the wonderful reviews, that we were in the minority of not having a good experience.
