Anna was amazing. Even before the tour began, she was proactive in communicating with us and suggesting ideas and things to do. We met her in the morning and explored the Gothic Quarter, Eixample, and several other fascinating spots around Barcelona. She shared rich historical insights in a way that kept all of us, including our kids (ages 9 and 12), fully engaged and entertained. Her friendly and approachable nature made the experience even better. We also got to try some delicious local food along the way, guided by her recommendations. Highly recommend Anna for anyone looking to explore Barcelona in a meaningful and enjoyable way. Thank you, Anna!

Alan’s mastery of Barcelona’s rich and exciting history was evident from the start. In a group of five, it can be easy for one or two people to feel excluded. This was not the case with Alan’s tour - he made sure that each member of the group felt included and he tailed a part of the tour to their specific interests. The group learned so much and we are going to leave Barcelona with a much deeper appreciation that we otherwise would have, without going on the tour.

My wife and I spent the entire day with Alan in Barcelona. We had an incredible experience. He is a consummate professional. He combines the utmost respect for both of us with a passion and knowledge of such a wide range of topics related to Catalonia and Barcelona that the experience becomes a very personal connection with the area as well as with Alan himself. I can't think of a better way to get knowledge and passion for the city.

Karla was amazing. I actually had an accident and she took me to the hospital and stayed with me the entire time. When we were finished we were able to do a portion of the tour and grab a bite to eat since I hadn’t eaten all day. She was without a doubt the most patient and kind person I have ever had The pleasure to meet. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She actually took me to the pharmacy as well to get my prescriptions after my hospital visit

Simona was a fantastic host, and planned the day completely around us, adapting it as we went along depending on our needs, and the changes in the weather! She was full of enthusiasm for this fantastic city and we packed a huge amount into a day without at any point feeling rushed.
