    Elvira is the best!!! She knows so much about the history of Barcelona, and is beyond kind. She took us to all the important stops but also showed us areas of the city that we wouldn’t have found on our own. Wonderful evening!!

    The tour with Denis through the Gothic quarter was fun and very interesting. He told me a lot about the history and also the upcoming Events. Denis is easy to get in contact with and not only gives you the historic facts but always has a story about life at that time which makes the tour very lively and fun. He loves Barcelona and he is able to share that with you. I enjoyed the tour very much!

    Elvira made my first time and my first day in Barcelona a wonderful experience. After she learrned about my interests she adjusted the tour to my liking. She showed me the amazing Born district and provided insights of the culture and history. We had a little Snack in a beautiful hidden cafe. She have me plenty of tips for the next days. I can fully recommend Elvira!
