A great day with Vicky!
"Vicky was an amazing tour guide! Our Barcelona experience was the perfect mix of history and food tasting, and she blended both seamlessly. She brought the city’s landmarks and culture to life with engaging stories and insightful explanations.
The tasting stops were authentic and thoughtfully curated, and she was very accommodating of dietary restrictions for one member of our group, which we really appreciated. She’s warm, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. Highly recommend booking a tour with her!"

Review about Muriel
"Our tour with Muriel was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and made the Gothic quarter come alive for us. She had many secret hidden away spots for us and excellent recommendations. She was enthusiastic and her love of her native city shone through She was also very considerate and offered to reschedule our tour for the next day after we partially started the tour due to heavy rainfall. We were very appreciative to be able to experience sunny Barcelona! We would highly recommend a tour with her. "
