Traveler reviews
Excellent, interesting and fun!
Vitaly was a great tour guide, very informative but fun - book your tour with him and you won’t be disappointed!
Livtour and Vitaly….. the BEST!
Vitaly was AMAZING! We learned so much about Picasso and his life. Vitalty was very knowledgeable, personable and professional. He took us through the “Picasso” area of Barcelona where he lived and created his art. Vitaly presented examples of his early works and explained in detail the correlation between his environment and his art. Too many amazing examples to list. I highly recommend Livtour and Vitaly as your guide if you want an exceptional tour.
Wonderful overview of Picasso- the man and the artist
Vitaly was a pleasure to be with. He was extremely well versed in the history of the area and of Picasso’s life. He made the art and the artist come to life.
Picasso Brought to Life by Vitaily
We had a fantastic experience on LIV Tours’ Picasso Museum tour in Barcelona with Vitaliy. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested not only in Picasso’s artwork, but also in understanding the person behind the paintings. Vitaliy did an excellent job bringing Picasso’s life to life by weaving together his family, friendships, relationships, the cities where he lived, and the historical and cultural context that shaped his work. Rather than simply discussing individual paintings, he showed how Picasso’s early works reflected his personal circumstances and the broader world around him, making it easy to understand the evolution of his artistic style and the influences that defined his career. What made the tour especially engaging was how seamlessly Vitaliy integrated art, architecture, and history into a single narrative. His passion and depth of knowledge were evident throughout, and he communicated complex ideas in a clear, organized, and accessible way. He also welcomed questions at every stage, thoughtfully adapting his presentation while maintaining a coherent and engaging flow. His respectful, interactive approach fostered curiosity and made the experience feel like a conversation rather than a lecture. This was one of the most insightful museum tours we’ve taken, and it gave us a much deeper appreciation for Picasso, his life, and his art. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Barcelona.
