"Thank you Teo for the great tour of the Gothic Quarter! What a great mix of history, culture, recommendations and local knowledge that you shared with us! It was time well spent!"
"Didn’t realize when I booked that the Jewish quarter doesn’t exist any more. Wish there had been more historic details. Teo is charming but her strong accent means you need to work hard to understand her. "

Great guide and great experience
"Teo was an awesome tour guide, we loved every minute of it. It felt more like walking through Barcelona with a knowledgeable friend than an official "tour". Teo customized the experience to focus on our particular interests and we truly felt her love and passion for Barcelona. She brought us to many hidden gems we would not have found on our own. Her personal stories really brought Barcelona to life and we loved learning the history of the city from Teo. Highly recommend booking a tour with Teo. "

"Phillipe did a great job engaging the kids. He was professional and funny. We all learned a lot of culture and history. It was fun for the kids using the dragons they found as landmarks when we were out and about the rest of the week. Churros he picked out were superb and even let us stop for coffee at a place he recommended. "

It doesn't get any better.....
"We visited Gothic and Old Town. Teo was a pleasure. Smart, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating and really knew the city and its history. It was a private tour. We had never seen shops that were so interesting, unique, merchandised so well and built in structures that were hundreds and even thousands of years old. We went to places the ordinary tourist would not see and had stories that her grandfather told her. She is as good as any tour we've ever been on. Don't miss the opportunity to catch up to her."
"Philippe was a wealth of information and was super engaging with the kids and they loved his tour. He really focused on the children and made it fun for them. I highly recommend him for a family tour. "
