Pau was very friendly and knowledgeable. The city is amazing to see on foot, and having a local guide allows you to see things you would miss otherwise. Thanks Pau!

We had a fantastic afternoon with Pau. He is an incredible guide—deeply knowledgeable about the history of Barcelona and passionate about sharing it. He met us promptly at the cathedral and led us through the winding streets of the Gothic Quarter, highlighting both iconic landmarks and hidden gems we never would have found on our own. One of the most memorable stops was the peaceful Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, where Pau shared its moving history. We also loved visiting the historic café Els Quatre Gats, a favorite of Picasso’s, which gave us a real sense of the city’s artistic soul. Later, we took a break at a very local spot to enjoy rich coffee, thick hot chocolate, and freshly made churros. Pau made the city come alive for us, and this tour was the perfect way to begin our time in Barcelona. Highly recommended!

Lots of walking. Very personalized to our tastes and walking speed. Great overview of Barcelona on our first visit to the city. Great introduction to local food customs. Our guide Pau did his best to explain his love and admiration for his home of Catalonia
