What to expect
Your guide collects you and moves at a measured pace through the compact old town. Expect to spend time in key squares reading the urban layout, then dip into quieter streets where shopfronts and doorways hint at resident life. The Picasso house is small and absorbing—you'll see period furnishings and photographs. Throughout, the guide contextualises what you're seeing: defence walls, merchant routes, artistic movements. You'll finish near the waterfront, where you can see how the Atlantic shaped the city's character. Two hours covers the essentials without rushing.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes; cobblestones dominate. The route is flat and walkable for all fitness levels. Public transport is nearby if you need to return elsewhere. Bring water in warmer months. The guide speaks to groups of any size, so a genuinely private experience depends on booking alone or with your own party.
