Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"First class guided tour from Jordi whose knowledge and enthusiasm for his tour was excellent. I've visited Barcelona several times over the years but felt I learnt something new about the history, architecture and flavour of the city. He was also very adaptable to the interaction he received during the tour - highly recommended!!"
"We booked a tour with Lars as the first item on our agenda in Barcelona. He was incredible at connecting with us even before our tour sending us his favorite restaurants and offering assistance if we needed anything. On our tour he told us stories and helped my 3 small children to feel valued and seen as well. They felt so comfortable with him. The city of Barcelona itself is so historic and old that you feel like any little corner holds some sort of secret, and Lars showed us some of his favorite secret places in Barcelona which was so fun! He was full of tips and recommendations that influenced the rest of the way we spent our time in Barcelona. Lars has a true gift for connecting with people and telling stories, totally recommend spending some time with him!!"
"Ivanna was a fantastic guide for our four person private tour. I requested that she tailor the tour a bit for our two young daughters who are learning Spanish (native English speakers) and she came through with the perfect balance of engaging stories for both the parents and the kids. I recommend her to anyone who wants an inside look at some of the best stories Barcelona has to offer. 10/10"
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Barcelona, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Barcelona spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Barcelona.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Barcelona, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Barcelona awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Barcelona, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Barcelona. Get ready to explore like a local!

"Lusi was a delight! You can tell that she loves to share her country with guests. We learned some history, got shopping tips, and ate many delicious tapas, all while getting our bearings in Barcelona. I would happily book another tour with Lusi next time we are in Barcelona!"
"Maria is a passionate, knowledgeable, entertaining, organized tour guide. Her deep knowledge of the history of Barcelona brought Barcelona to life as first time visitors. By the end of the tour, we were able to navigate our way while appreciating the architecture and the history of the various sights we saw. We highly recommend Maria as a guide for touring Barcelona!"
"If you are considering booking a tour with Alessandro don’t hesitate to!! He was absolutely fantastic and made our time in Barcelona so enjoyable. We were lucky to be able to book five hours seeing the city with him. He pointed out many things that we would have missed out on if we had been on our own. He also made a suggestion for a lunch stop that was one of our best meals. He has a lot of knowledge and is very easy to talk to. What a pleasant way to see a beautiful city."
"We decided to have an introductory tour with Octavio within hours of landing in Barcelona. Octavio suggested he meet us at our apartment after we dropped off luggage and it was the best idea ever, as we were staying in Eixample. His English was great and he walked us around the area pointing out interesting places and telling us stories about this beautiful city. We ate tapas and Cava and then topped off our tasting with churros and dark chocolate. Octavio was the perfect ambassador of this magical city! At the end of the tour, he promised me that he would share his favorite rooftop bars, tapas spots and restaurants - and boy did he deliver! We got so many recommendations to choose from. It truly was a perfect day. Thank you Octavio!"
"I met Maria for a personal tour around Barcelona. She was superb. Maria made the whole time great fun and very interesting. Her knowledge and passion was wonderful to share. If you need a friendly, lovely, lady to show you the sights, Maria is highly recommended."
"We had an excellent time on our market tour and tasting with Elvira! She picked out so many delicious food and drinks for us and gave us an extensive list to use on the rest of our trip. She was fun, knowledgeable, and personable, which kept the conversation going the whole time. We also value her insight and passion about Catalan culture and Barcelona! We wholeheartedly recommend!"
"It was such a pleasure to experience tapas like a local with Gonzalo! We walked around a neighborhood we would never have discovered on our own and learned a lot about Barca food and wine culture along the way. Highly recommend! Thank you Gonzalo for taking such good care of us - it was so fun to spend the evening with you!!!"
