The tickets we got were skip the line with a guide, and although it wasn't as crowded in December, with the guide you can really learn a lot about Picasso's life and art. The tour lasted almost two hours, and we could stay after to walk around the museum a bit more.

Great way to get a feel for the whole city. Busses came often which was good because sometimes they were too full and we couldn’t get in the first one.

Alexandra was amazing! It’s totally different experience with a knowledgeable tour guide like her!

With a good guide you can appreciate Picasso more than if you just visit alone.

We walked around gothic quarter and visited the Picasso museum.
