Signature Tour
Surely passion is the word that best defines Picasso’s work.
His constant innovation and the creation of new languages made him a reference and showed us his genius.
Passion is also the word that defines his life and that we propose you to take a tour through the emblematic places of Barcelona which marked the adolescence of Picasso.
In this tour you will:
- Explore the Old Barcelona.
- Learn all about the spots linked to Picasso’s life in the city.
- Have a guided tour inside the Museum, where the guide will bring the paintings to life.
In 1895, Picasso’s father, José Ruiz, was hired at the city’s art school. That’s why the whole family moved to Barcelona. Picasso was 14 years old and he was strongly impressed by Barcelona’s life. In addition, he was very well received in the intellectual world where he entered thanks to the painters Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusiñol.
The Els 4 Gats tavern, the La Lonja art school, the architects’ association or the last studio where he lived in Barcelona in the Old Town are part of a walk through the most artistic side of Barcelona.
The second part of the visit takes you to the Picasso Museum in Barcelona with your private guide, who will show you the evolution of Picasso and the different moments of his life.

Anna was great! She was informative without being boring, catered to our specific sight-seeing requests, and kept us fully enlightened and entertained. How this woman has so much knowledge, I don’t know! She literally had the answer to every single question we had. We stopped for a coffee mid-way as she could sense we were getting tired from walking and I enjoyed chatting to her socially. I 100% recommend her for anyone going to Barcelona!
We engaged Anna for a 3 days private tour in Barcelona. She is very dedicated and knowledgeable on every places of interest in Barcelona. When my child wasn’t feeling too well during the trip, she was flexible and accommodative to our last minute changes and requests. My family truly enjoyed our trip in Barcelona and had a wonderful time spent with Anna. If you are looking for customized private tour, Anna will be the best person to engage!!
We concur with all the previous wonderful reviews of Anna and her team. We ended up having three tours with Anna and each one was different, informative and superb. If you would prefer to soak in the city and keep your nose out of the guide books and maps contact Barcelonina. Our trip to Spain had been derailed but once we contacted Jordi, everything started to improve. These folks have it together, make great suggestions on what to do and are patient with letting you make up your mind. Barcelona would not have been nearly as fascinating without them.
