"We loved our bike tour with Brendan, what a great way to see many places in Barcelona in about 3 hours, We had excellent stops and food breaks. Beautiful hidden spots and Brendan had an amazing knowledge of history and the area. Perfect first day in Barcelona!"
"We had a great night eating tapas and having a few drinks with Gonzalo.
He brought us to great places and had lots of interesting facts for us. He even suggested an amazing restaurant for us that we tried the next day. I highly recommend booking with Gonzalo."
"Jordi was an incredible tour guide! He was friendly, engaging, and brought a unique combination of history, architecture, and cultural insights to the tour. He was also very accommodating to our schedule and focus preferences, which we truly appreciated. We can’t imagine a better guide to share what Barcelona is all about."
"Krisztina was a fantastic guide for our three hour food tour. She was relaxed and knowledgeable, taking us to a great variety of spots to try out different foods and drinks. She adjusted choices to suit our tastes and by the end of the evening we felt more like we had spent time with a new friend rather than a guide. We all went home full so felt we had great value out of the tour. Highly recommend Krisztina."
"My sister and I had such a wonderful time with Krisztina. She tailored the tour to our likes and dislikes and we saw parts of Barcelona that we would never have ventured to otherwise and tried dishes that we would never have dreamt of ordering!! Everything was delicious and when we started to run out of steam towards the end of the tour, it was no problem to make some small adjustments to the itinerary. She is a great person to spend a few hours with! "
"My wife and I had a fantastic tour with the brilliant Bianca… she took us on a 3 hour Gaudi tour which not only brought to life the wonderful Gaudi architecture… but also the broader Barcelona City context and Gaudi’s genius - a man well ahead of his time… Bianca is a fantastic guide and really made sure we covered what mattered most to us…. and also gave us some handy restaurant tips too… she is a pleasure to be with and her enthusiasm is infectious… we thoroughly recommend her… "
"Emma was an amazing tourguide! Her tour was very specific to our needs and interests. She repeatedly checked in with us to make sure we were having a good time. Her local knowledge and connections made for a very informative and and fun time. Would hire again any time!"
"Although it's been a while (November 2026 -- life gets in the way!), we just can't recommend Moises enough. We booked months in advance and reconfirmed. His communication with us was prompt and clear, he was right on time at our agreed meeting point, and we were off to see all the spots our expert guide felt were the must-see items. Moises speaks perfect English with, really, no accent (to our ears) at all -- but he speaks very fast, so you have to listen carefully. He tailored the pace to our abilities - my husband uses trekking poles for balance and we aren't as speedy as we used to be, but we covered a lot of ground in our 3 hours. Moises is so well educated and told us so much interesting information about history, culture, political influences, historical figures, etc., as we walked and he has a very fun sense of humor. We saw things we would never have found - or even known to look for on our tour with him. Can't recommend highly enough. It was such a bonus to be just the two of us with our wonderful guide and not having to follow a leader carrying a flag and straining to hear. Thank you, Moises!!"

Great cultural experience!
"Ellie was an awesome tour guide, both in making sure we saw hidden gems and learned the culture - and in sharing her personal experiences living around the city. Would not have understood or had context for city’s evolution without a local guide. Guide books and AI only share so much. Her personal knowledge as a local really added depth to our tour - and deeper appreciation for the layers of history in Barcelona. "
