    Pau did an excellent job. He was very kind and considerate of what our goals were while also following his plan of ideas. He answered all of our questions and shared about the history of Barcelona. We really enjoyed our time with him and the context it gave to our trip. Thank you so much!

    The day was entirely personalized. Alan listened to what we were interested in, he was patient with all our questions. His passion and enthusiasm for history was infectious. He orientated us with the city, showed us all the local places to go away from the tourists. And as we bombarded him with history questions he was patient and not only shared his knowledge- showed us as we walked through. We took photos of where Alan suggested we go back to- the phone has then the location and easy to find (and recognize) in the myriad of confusing streets afterwards!

    Alan was absolutely awesome. His passion for Barcelona and Spain infected all of us. He kept myself, my husband and 2 teenage boys 13 and 15 engaged the entire time and we bombarded him with questions as we navigated the streets of Barcelona. Alan was patient and listened to our questions and placed history into context for us. He showed us some great places to eat where locals go away from the bustle, as well as where all the local hand made artisans were hiding and orientated us so we felt like we could then conquer the rest of our trip on our own. We felt like we had family taking us around to the places they loved and sharing their love and passion for their city and country. Cannot thank you enough Alan- what a fabulous day! You bought the city alive for us as well as an enthusiasm for Gaudi from his lesser known works and also signed of history to look for in the city. We are looking forward to learning more and appreciate you putting parts of the historical puzzle of Spain together! THANK YOU for an amazing time and experience.
