    I like local guides. They have a better perspective on the history and character of the places.

    Johnathan, our guide was absolutely phenomenal. He showed us all of the highlights of Barcelona and stayed with us much longer than originally planned to ensure that we saw all of the highlights and hidden gems of Barcelona. Ahead of the tour, he spent time trying to understand what was most important to our group, and then customize the tour accordingly. He ensured everybody stayed together (underrated but very important) yet still had time to wander around a little bit too. He took great pictures of us and sent them to us afterwards. He is a super nice guy and was a highlight of our trip to Barcelona. Highly recommend.

    Pau was my family's tour guide who I found through Viator/City Unscripted. He contacted me in advance to confirm what my preference and meeting place. We met at my hotel that was a 20 minute walk to Sagrada Familia. As we strolled towards Sagrada familia, Pau pointed out architecture and explained Spanish history that made Barcelona even more interesting. When we arrived at Sagrada Familia, we breezed through the busy entrance since he knew the way and spoke Catalan to the employees. His knowledge of Sagrada familia was deep and insightful. He took photos of our family without us asking which was sweet. I would recommend Pau for a walking tour of all of Barcelona. Thank you Pau.
