"One of the first things my husband and I always do when in a new city is to take a tour, as it always provides an overview of things to see and do. As per our norm, we booked a three-hour tour of Barcelona with Jordi for our guide. As a guide, he is very personable, informative and engaging. He took us to all of the highlights of the city, including the Gaudi houses, Las Ramblas, and the Gothic Quarter, among others. At each stop he provided historical background for each, helping us to understand the history of each area of Barcelona . Further, as an architect, he provided great insight on the buildings we saw. Overall, we had a great time with Jordi, and highly recommend him. In fact, if you’re reading my review, stop and just book him now-I promise you won’t be disappointed. Thanks, Jordi, for a great experience- we’ll never forget “she’s basically a plant” for quite some time! 🤣"
"Phillippe is connected to the people he guides. Lots of knowledge of Barcelona
Highly recommendend as a gide! "

The best part of our trip!
"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)"
"Had an excellent tour with Ellie- originally from the USA, she’s lived in Barcelona for 20 years and is truly a local, but without any language barriers! She was engaging, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The time flew by and only wished we had more time together! Her pace was perfect (we’re not fast walkers) and got us to our destinations perfectly on time. Would highly recommend this tour with her!"

Review about Bianca
"Bianca went above and beyond and we enjoyed all her knowledge and was so great to our kid. Thank you! I would recommend a million times! "
"Mario was hands down the best guide we could’ve asked for! He didn’t just show us the city, he made us feel like locals. From the hidden spots to the best food and the real Barca vibe, he went completely above and beyond the whole time.
Super knowledgeable, hilarious, easygoing, and always looking out for us. You can tell he actually cares about making sure people have an amazing experience, not just checking boxes.
If you’re coming to Barcelona and get the chance to tour with Mario, do it. He’s an absolute legend."
"Nice and good warm and fun guy to show us around the city!"

Review about Federico
"Federico was a wonderful guide - highly recommend that you book him! Knowledgable, funny, and very engaging guide. Having him for three hours was great. I enjoyed the personal touches, like showing us random shops. Extra props for him helping us on the subway during a very busy festival - we wouldn't have made our next event without his help. "

Laura is the rock star of tour guides!
"Laura is an amazing tour guide and we highly recommend her! She planned two days of customized tours for our group of four and we were thrilled with her tour plans for us which included a perfect cross section of the old city plus modernista architecture. She was patient with our questions and sensitive to our group's needs. Laura also made additional recommendations for us. all of which were spot on. Her initial communication with us helped quide and instruct us how to prepare for our tours. Laura's professional architectural and tour guide experience plus her personal warmth is an unbeatable combination! Touring with Laura was the highlight of our trip to Barcelona!"
