"We spent two amazing, memorable hours with Teo. She is truly knowledgeable and entertaining, full of stories not only about the obvious places along her very individually chosen route but also those that we most certainly had overlooked (or not dared to step into :D) on our own.
We very much loved having our own private tour - such a difference to being in a larger group.
And communication regarding the details of our booking was easy and reliable.
Highly recommended!! Hoping to be back some day. <3"
"Sabastian was such a great guide and show us all about Gaudi and the history of Barcelona. He has a great sense of humor and his pictures helped bring the stories to life. Sangrada Familia is a great way to end. What a breathtaking piece of art!!"

Ellie at Sagrada Familia
"Ellie met us on time and at the exact location we had arranged next to Sagrada Familia. She was knowledgeable about the building and excited to teach us and we had a wonderful time on our tour. Highly recommend that you reach out to her for all your tour needs in Barcelona. She was a great guide!"
"My wife and I recently spent some time with Ellie strolling around the Sagrada Família. It was a wonderful tour. Ellie was professional and clearly very knowledgeable about the Basílica and its architect, Antoni Gaudí. Along the way, we also leaned much about Catalan culture and Barcelona itself. Ellie provided insight on what to expect and look for once inside the Basílica. From our external tour, she clearly broke down all the comprehensive (and staggering) symbolism that makes up the exterior of the church. Ellie is an excellent communicator and it was a pleasure to spend time with her. We learned a lot not only about the site but also what to watch for while in Barcelona. Highly recommended. "
"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"
"Lars was fantastic. He connected with our children and made the tour interesting yet fun for them. Had great recommendations for restaurants for all of us to enjoy as well. Highly recommend a tour with him. "

"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.
"
"We really appreciated Bianca's breadth of knowledge and her architectural training added a lot to our understanding. We saw and understood so many details of the Gaudi buildings that we didn't see on our own. We walked a LOT--which we like--and saw sooo much. Her discussion was interactive and her English is excellent. She also helped us to decide where we would/would not like to re-visit--according to our interests. Highly recommend booking with her! "
