Great food and interesting conversation!
"When we met with Maria she was warm and welcoming. She shared some historical knowledge as we walked through the old town. We tried some classic favourites and she introduced us to a few places and snacks and drinks that are local favourites. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. "
"Elvira was amazing! We had a quick stay in Barcelona at the end our 2 week vacation, so we were tired - but seeing the city thru Elvira's eyes was so wonderful. She showed us hidden gems, knew her history and her love for her city was contagious. She was fun, knowledge and so easy - she truly made our short stay worthwhile. Also, she gave us some recommendations for what to see (not the touristy stuff) and where to eat. We highly recommend the bike tour with Elvira (biking is the way to go too)"
"What can I say...Lars become like a son to us right away. He is polite, educated and very knowledgeable about Barcelona. We did the 10 Tapas Tasting tour with him and he showed us around the Gothic Quarter and El Borne. He told us stories and history all along the way. The placed he selected for our tapas tasting were perfect and exactly what I wanted! My only regret is that we didn't have more time with him. He also made great recommends for restaurants and things to do. I cannot say enough good about Lars! I highly recommend him!!"
" Maria made our visit to Barcelona so enjoyable! Her tactful warmth put us at ease immediately. She responded to our interest in history with stories (and maps) that gave us a sense of place and a better understanding of Barcelona. The food places we visited had wonderful, interesting food to try but they also had that "only locals come here" vibe, and that was nice. We could tell that she truly enjoyed spending meeting us and knew what she was talking about. "
"We went on a food tour with Maria..... she was so knowledgeable about the history, culture and the food places we stopped at were so unique and tasty. We learned a lot and ate and drank to our hearts content and we loved spending the evening with a fellow dog lover in Maria.
Thanks,
Jen and Purvez"

Sagrada Família Tour
"Ellie was fantastic! So knowledgeable and full of insights. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with her. Would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to experience a guided tour. "
"We enjoyed our tour with Maria very much. The food was great, and the personal touch provided was much appreciated. As a true local, Maria was able to share stories that were both current and historical. Her personal perspective added to what she shared. Also grateful to experience parts of the city we would not have found. Finally, her personal foodie app will help us going forward. Definitely recommend starting your time in Barcelona With Locals, and choosing Maria as your guide. "

A great visit and tour
"We had a great visit in tour with Brendan. He did an excellent job telling us about the history of Barcelona. We had some great snacks and drinks along the way as well. He did a great job arranging for gluten-free snacks throughout our 3 1/2 hours. Highly recommended. Thanks again Brendan for an awesome experience."
