Experience tomorrow the best of
Barcelona with Withlocals

"Maria was a great host to my wife, and I, as we explored some of the lesser known areas of Barcelona. We got to taste many of the local favorites, and hear about some of the history of the area. Maria is passionate about her city and it really shows in the stories that she tells. I would highly recommend a tour with Maria for anyone."

"We had the pleasure and luck to meet Elvira last weekend in Barcelona. The experience was great! Even if we were a group of eight, she was able to provide us the best experience. We were able to visit the REAL markets and bars, and taste what for local people "Tapas" means. Everything was well explained, interesting and we could even get insights on how Barcelona's people live. We can only suggest Elvira to everyone, and for sure not only for Tapas experience. She is great!"

"Federico was fabulous. He is a very pleasant guide with an enormous amount of patience and knowledge. We didn’t feel rushed and we learned a lot. He calmly answered all our questions and let me rest whenever I needed. My 18 year old son said he was a chill dude and my 16 year old daughter said he’s cool. Would recommend without hesitation. "

"My wife and I were in Barcelona for three days following a 2-week Mediterranean cruise, and we had no plans in place. I found Ivanna on the "With Locals" website... it was somewhat last-minute, but thankfully she was available. Our 4-hour personal tour was excellent. She started by showing us (and teaching us about) the sights and architecture around La Rambla. She even showed us a "hidden" Roman wall that most people - including many who live in Barcelona - were unaware of. As she learned more about our interest in the culture, people, and history, she walked us through the old, and new, sections of the city. She pointed out architectural points, even explaining that one of the most famous churches in the Gothic district wasn't actually original to that time, even though it looks like it should be - and she had photos to prove it! She gave us history lessons, told us stories, and helped us to "feel" the city we were visiting. We stopped for a drink at one of her favorite locations - Els 4 Cats - where Picasso used to meet with his friends... and then she was kind enough to introduce us to the owner and surprised us with reservations for dinner there the next night. Bottom line, Ivanna offered us not only the best private tour we've ever experienced, she shared herself and her love of the city with us... she was wonderful. If you're looking for a personal approach, look no further. Hire Ivanna without reservation - you'll be very glad you did."

"Sabastian was such a great guide and show us all about Gaudi and the history of Barcelona. He has a great sense of humor and his pictures helped bring the stories to life. Sangrada Familia is a great way to end. What a breathtaking piece of art!!"

"So glad my time traversing Barcelona solo started off with Lars! He was very helpful in acquainting me with the subway system and the different areas of town. I felt deeply enriched by the history of the city he shared. I found him friendly, accommodating & generous. I highly recommend Lars!"

"Maria was patient, calm, knowledgeable, friendly (all of the above)! It was so nice to just walk around not worrying about getting lost. We were able to keep our eyes on our kids and the sites instead of the maps and also hear the history behind the area that I wouldn’t have been in a group tour. She was patient with my 3 year old who was wanting to stop at every tourist trap in town ;) ! Long story short: we would never have gotten to see what we did without her!"

"Lusi is hands down the best tour guide you could ask for! We did our tour with her on the very first day we arrived in Barcelona, and it was the perfect way to kick off the trip. She curated the experience beautifully, giving us a solid introduction to the history of Spain and Barcelona, along with insider tips on where locals eat, drink, and hang out. Thanks to Lusi, we felt oriented and confident exploring the city—without her, we would’ve been a bit lost. She shared insights and stories that didn’t come up in any of the more traditional tours we took, and we’ve honestly been raving about the experience ever since. Her energy is infectious, her knowledge is impressive, and her recommendations were spot-on. We can’t recommend Lusi enough. If you can, try to book this tour for your first day—it makes navigating and appreciating the city so much easier for the rest of your stay!"

"We had an excellent tour with Ivanna, It was a private tour. We discussed our wishes and Ivanne gave her suggestions. We really liked it was a non-rushed tour, we had time for everything. Ivanna was a great person to spend the day with. "

"Irina was fabulous! She knows the Gothic Quarter like the back of her hand! We learned so much about the history of this area, as well as, Barcelona in general. She was so pleasant to spend time with as well. We highly recommend her to anyone coming to Barcelona! "
