      Mario Rocks!

      "Mario took my long time skateboarder husband out for a great tour of local skate scene, skate shops and even suggested good spots for food and music. My husband did it was like meeting up with an old friend and felt very welcome into the skate community right away. Thank you for making a 53 year old feel like a teenager again!"

      Epic Skate Day

      "In Barcelona on a cruise with our 13 year old skater. Hit up MACBA in the morning and then met up with Mario who took our son for a tour around other local spots. He had an amazing time. When we met back up Mario was working with him on a few tricks he’s been trying. Gave us some great advice on restaurants before we left. Hooked me up with a charger for my phone which I desperately needed as well! Thank you Mario!! Definitely worth booking with Mario and we will do it again when we’re back in Barcelona. "

      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. "

      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. "

      Couldn't have asked for more!

      "Oh man this tour was exactly what I had in mind. Im 34 and got to see and skate spots I've seen in videos for 20+ years. Mario took me all over the city and ended at macba. He took some awesome clips and pushed me to land tricks I don't usually do. He gave a fantastic dinner recommendation and even helped direct me via video chat after the tour on how to find it. 10/10 do it if you're a skater. "

      Amazing!

      "Teo was an amazing guide! She showed us so many sites in the gothic quarter that we 100% would have missed. She knows all of the hidden gems and is so knowledgeable about Barcelona’s history. Her energy was contagious and she was really mindful about the knee injury I’d suffered a week before our tour. 100% would recommend! "
