"We had an incredible time on the 10 Tastings of Barcelona tour with Maria. She was warm, flexible (even rescheduling when our flights were delayed), and went out of her way to accommodate our vegetarian, non-alcoholic family—including our kids (ages 8, 14, and 16) and grandparents!
The food was absolutely delicious—Spanish omelet, toasted tomato bread, and an unforgettable vegetarian paella at a place she brings her own family. Maria made the experience feel so personal, sharing not just food, but her love for her city and culture.
We left full, happy, and with amazing memories. Highly recommend this tour—especially with Maria!"
"Irina was a fantastic guide. She was very knowledgeable and imparted her love of Barcelona to us in an informative, warm and friendly manner.
It was the perfect introduction to Barcelona for us.
I would highly recommend you take a tour with Irina.
Best wishes Fiona & Andrew"

Barcelona with locals
"Ellie was an excellent guide in Barcelona. She picked us up from our cruise ship and showed us all the highlights. We got out in several locations and took photos. "
"Irina was an AMAZING guide for our Barcelona city tour. The route, pace, information, and overall experience were exceptional. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and, in particular, Gaudi. My daughter and I really enjoyed our time spent with Irina. She was personable and approachable. I would recommend her and would do another tour with her. "
"Having known about the Familia Sagrada all my life and then finally being there, we certainly were most fortunate in having Ellie for our family tour guide. Her deep and wide knowledge of the diverse aspects of the phases, timing, progress, purpose, meaning and numerous symbols of the exterior and interior architecture of the building made our visit intensely satisfying and rewarding.

"Vicky was absolutely amazing! We felt so comfortable with her, like being out with a friend. Great local spots, generous portions, and some very interesting and delicious foods we may have missed if not on the tour. "

Octavio Rocks!!!
"I promise you Octavio is the best tour guide in the city. I’ve lived here for 6 months and have had over 20 tour guides, and he is by far the best.
