What travelers think of our Spain experiences

Julia 20 January 2026

We had an amazing tour with Pau. We learned so much about the city, the culture, and food. His passion for the city allowed us to get a true understanding of how its history remains alive in the modern era. We really appreciated Pau tailoring the to us. We mostly walked but also utilized the great transit system to reach more areas. We had one of the best meals with him at a fantastic restaurant. We highly recommend Pau.

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.

FAQs

Your questions, answered

Are experiences the same as tours?

No. Our experiences are unscripted and designed around you. Instead of following a rigid itinerary, your host will plan a personalized journey that feels natural, immersive, and unique.

What if I don’t know what I want to explore?

That’s completely fine! Select an experience theme or a flexible discovery experience, and after booking, answer a few questions so your host can design the perfect experience for you.

Will I be able to speak to my host beforehand?

Yes. After we match you with your host, we’ll introduce you so you can chat about the plan and make any tweaks before the day.

How do you match me with a host?

We ask a few questions. After you book, you’ll fill out a short questionnaire about your interests and travel style. We’ll then match you with the best local host to design your experience.

Can I request specific places or types of stops?

Yes! After booking, you will receive a questionnaire where you can highlight must-visit spots and anything else you’d like to include, and your host will craft your experience around them.

Will I know my itinerary in advance?

Yes, you will have the opportunity to chat with your host directly and agree on a plan for the day. However, there’s always room for spontaneity and local surprises!

Can I mix different themes in one experience?

Yes! You can blend food, culture, history, neighborhoods, or even a bit of nightlife if time allows. Just share your interests in the questionnaire, and your host will build the day around them.

Can my host meet me at my accommodation?

Hotel meet-ups are available upon request in central areas. If you're staying outside the city, your host will recommend the best meeting spot and guide you with directions.

Can I cancel if my plans change?

Yes. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before your experience date—no questions asked.
