    This was an informative and fun tour. Olga was a great guide. We got to see buildings in the Born that I had not appreciated. Her knowledge of art is extensive. She spent way over 2 hours with us and this tour was a highlight. My only criticism is that the directions to find the meeting place were lacking. We got lost because of this- (the place de catalunya is large)- however calling and getting help through the app did save the day. You could specifiy what corner the stairs are and that this is a tourism office to make it clear where to meet for this tour. We thoroughly enjoyed it all however. We only arrived 5 minutes late.

    The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the life and works of Picasso. At the end of the walking tour I felt I had just completed a crashed course on Picasso covering his different periods works starting from young age of 15 till his death in 1973 in 2. 5 hours. He's very professional and took time and patience to answered our questions.
