Reviews of Our Barcelona Experiences

We were met promptly at our hotel by Federico who spent the day with us, introducing us to Barcelona as we walked through some of its neighborhoods. He was knowledgeable, easy to understand and personable. We felt as if we were being shown around be a relative who loved his city.

Federico was very knowledgeable about Barcelona. He was friendly and patient with our tour. He made sure we saw the key points but also let us set our own pace.

Anna is a fantastic person and an exceptional guide. She was able to construct a two day itinerary enabling us to see so many amazing sites all around Barcelona! We had prepurchased Passion Tower tickets and Gaudi House Museum tickets that she seamlessly worked into our adventure. My wife and I believe we got our monies worth and then some. Anna has a great personality and really knows Barcelona well. She researches the sites to be visited and has on hand unique facts and addendums to what we visited. After 20 miles of touring we are extremely happy with what we saw and learned. If you are lucky enough to have Anna assigned as your guide, know that you are in for an informative and exciting visit.

Patricia was great! Very knowledgeable, pleasant, gentle and ready to help, assist and answer any questions from me (even after the tour!) She showed me things about Madrid other than the traditional that most tourists probably know. I loved her tour.

Richard

Jonathan provided us an excellent tour, covering the history of the city, especially the university, the major architectural attractions in Piazza Maggiore, and lots of information on the cuisine and culinary scene in Bologna. It was the perfect overview for first-time visitors.

Robert

The weather at the original meeting time was torrential rain. Roberto took the initiative and set the meeting time back 1 hour. His communication throughout was excellent and pro-active. We enjoyed our first street experience of Naples enormously. Roberto set the atmosphere and ambience of local life with a background of history and contemporary food & drink. We would definitely book with Roberto for any future visits and would not drive afterwards to enjoy all of the local delicacies and beverages.
