*The existence of spies & nazi agents in Barcelona is a little-known fact of the history of the city, but during WWII, It's a research work that has taken me 3 years and in which every day I discover something new related to the nazis, spies, and WWII in Barcelona and the world.
"Stefano was accommodating and friendly. His knowledge & passion for the LGBTQ history of Barcelona was eye-opening and enriching! I recommend Stefano and this tour."

Stefano is very patient with us and great with recommendations from everything from bookstores, restaurants to ice cream. He is also very willing to share his personal stories and why he is so passionate about LGTBQ+ rights. Highly recommended!"

Great guide and great experience
"Teo was an awesome tour guide, we loved every minute of it. It felt more like walking through Barcelona with a knowledgeable friend than an official "tour". Teo customized the experience to focus on our particular interests and we truly felt her love and passion for Barcelona. She brought us to many hidden gems we would not have found on our own. Her personal stories really brought Barcelona to life and we loved learning the history of the city from Teo. Highly recommend booking a tour with Teo. "

Outstanding
"Tao was very knowledgeable of the Gothic area and regaled us with stories of growing up in the area. I would highly recommend. "
"Stefano was the best tour guide ever. He was extremely knowledgeable and allowed us to customize our tour to accommodate my physical ability. He took us to all the interesting places that we would have never found on our own. I would highly recommend his tour. He has a wonderful personality and will make your tour very enjoyable. A personal thank you Stefano!"

Informative - not your typical tour!
"Teo gave us a very informative tour of the gothic quarter. She took us into shops and explained the history/unique architecture of places the average tourist would walk by, and have no idea the historical significance or story of that spot is. This is the only type of tour you can get from a local, that really knows Barcelona. I would recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your trip, so you can return to places you saw on tour that you would like to spend more time at. "
