What you’ll do

What if we told you that you could leave the crowds behind you and sip some sangria or a coffee from a quirky cafe that’s tucked into the hillside? We’re sure you’d want to go, we certainly do. Luckily, the stylish Gràcia neighborhood is just a short metro ride away, and one of our local Barcelona hosts can’t wait to share it with you.

Most people come here to see Gaudi’s Parc Guëll, a masterpiece for sure, but there’s more to discover of this intimate neighborhood and your host will reveal its more authentic side to you. Wander this barrio with its many faces and stories and browse its quirky boutiques where local designers sell their handmade jewelry, clothes, homeware, and accessories.

Pop into a colorful market or stop by a specialist food shop for something delicious to munch on, or be charmed by the trendy bars that line Carrer Verdi and Plaça de Sol - it happens to the best of us. More colorful, stylish, and creative than most, this is one artistic neighborhood you need to visit!

    Henry took us to some amazing obscur places in Hong Kong that we have never visited before. The customised walking tour incorporated the use of public transport and taxi's.

    Cheata was the perfect guide. She customised the itinerary to suit my preferences and I saw some amazing sites, including ones I wouldn't have come across myself. She was also kind enough to work a little later to make sure I saw something I wanted to see. As a solo traveller, I felt like I was exploring Tokyo with a friend. She also gave me recommendations for the rest of my stay. Can't recommend this experience enough!

    We had a lovely day with Nik - she meet us on time and was patient when we needed a break. She is a well of knowledge and explained everything very clearly. We loved the places she took us to and especially the market she helped with pricing negotiations. I would fully recommend Nik to anyone who is looking for a fun time experience in Hong Kong. Thanks Nik for making a day special
