Frederico was so considerate and concerned with our safety. He didn't rush us around, was so knowledgeable about Barcelona and was able to relate things to our country. He tailored our wishes to the area. All of our questions got answered. Couldn't have been in better.

We met Pau punctually at our meeting point for a 3 hour walking tour of Barcelona. Pau then proceeded to show us lots of off the beaten track places “hidden gems”, he had so much knowledge and information to share and was very passionate about his home city of Barcelona. Thoroughly enjoyed our tour which ran over time as he made sure we got to our next Viator booking - a Flamenco Dance show.

It was a walking tour of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. The guide, Isabel, had contacted me after I booked in August to ask my interests and make some suggestions about an itinerary. I’ve had several private tours in Europe and this is the first with any kind of advance prep. I really appreciate that! Isabel showed me historical sites along with other points of interest, giving me the background of things every step of the way. She was friendly, responsive to questions and knowledgeable about the places and things she was showing me. It was an enriching experience and I had the opportunity to see several areas of Barcelona I wouldn’t have otherwise seen. I recommend this experience and commend Isabel for her knowledge and skill as a guide.

Largely focuses on the Gothic Quarter, but provides a great introduction to Barcelona City. It is two hours of constant walking.
