Great guided tour. The Born district tour was a smaller part of the tour, but it was perfect for us because we were mostly interested in the Picasso Museum. Our tour guide, Marc, was very knowledgeable, and his passion for the artwork was evident. He was responsive to our questions and spent a lot of time answering them.

The meeting point was really unclear and hard to find. For tourists, you should pick a place the most people can find. I realized I would be five min late, called the number, nobody responded. Nobody bothered contacting me either…Later, I found the guide in the Picasso museum, he called the agency, nobody answered. This is really poor attitude towards your customers. You should try a little just to check if people are coming, what is going on and please find a better meeting point. The guide was OK, the museum section of the tour was fine.
