Uncover the best of Sagrada familia the local Way

"Liliia was fantastic. She stepped in last minute when our original guide had a family emergency, and you’d never have known she wasn’t the plan all along. We fumbled the meeting spot and she was patient and gracious getting us sorted, then stayed later than scheduled to make sure we got the full experience. Her knowledge of Barcelona’s history and architecture is deep, and she answered every question we threw at her with real detail, not canned tour-guide lines. Beyond the expertise, she was simply a joy to spend the day with. Highly recommend, and if Liliia is your guide, consider yourself lucky."

"Maria Carmen, thank you so much for a wonderful tour. You are so knowledgeable and easy going. You allowed us time to take in exactly what we wanted. We never felt rushed. We all agreed how kind and courteous you are Maria. The fact that we never waited in a line was priceless. Thank you “With locals”, your company is worth every penny! I would highly recommend Maria, 10/10!"

"Ellie was wonderful as our guide for the Sagrada Familia with my 10 and 14 year old daughters. She was kind and informative, and very communicative as we were arranging the tour. "

"Ellie did a wonderful job explaining Gaudi sites to us, keeping attention of my teenagers. She is from America so her English is perfect. She also provided good tips and recommendations about the city. "

"My 19 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time with Pili. She shared her wealth of knowledge about Gaudi’s architecture and pointed out things on the buildings that we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. She also shared the work she did as an artist on the Sagrada Família. She gave us some pointers on how to navigate the inside of the Sagrada and what we should look for. Don’t hesitate to book her if you are looking for a guide in Barcelona! "

"Ellie was very flexible with us and even helped us navigate the metro. My son, although very tired from the heat loved looking for the various details she called out in our scavenger hunt. She even offered to move our tour to an earlier time if we were available due to the heat wave. I highly recommend going with Ellie if you’re visiting Barcelona with kids!"

"Our family had a great Gaudi tour with Ellie, who is very knowledgeable, interesting and fun. This tour was the perfect introduction to Barcelona’s fantastic Gaudi creations before visiting inside. Our favorite was casa Batlo. Don’t hesitate to book a tour with Ellie! "

"Ellie was prompt and enthusiastic about Gaudi’s Park Güell, Família Sagrada. Prior to booking this tour I was under the illusion I could walk between the two sites but am glad she suggested a taxi for our family of five. Ellie was full of interesting information and context. She communicated well our meeting location. The only downsides were completely on my end- we booked the tour for the heat of the day, on the first day of our trip- a bit jet lagged, and my youngest child got sick. Ellie was gracious and flexible to expedite part of our tour to accommodate a sick kiddo. We ended our tour early but are so grateful to see two important sites in Barcelona. A guide like Ellie is essential to get the full experience and context of sites like these. While Ellie did not accompany us into the park or church, it allowed us to move through at our own pace and did not detract from the experience at all. Thank you, Ellie, for your professionalism and kindness. "

"The tour was particularly for modernist architecture and Gaudi. Not only did I see different parts of Barcelona differently than before but I also learnt a lot about Modernist Architecture as a whole. Thank you Pili!"

"It was a wonderful : hours with Ellie. She was so informative not only about Gaudi, but history and architecture in general. We learned a lot about the Catalan culture previously unknown to us. "
