    Frederico led my family of 8 adults on a great food tour of Barcelona. We had several tapas at 2 different places, then chocolate and churros at the third.

    Alan es una persona muy bien preparada, es muy amable y paciente. Debo mencionar que viaje con niños y siempre estuvo atento a explicar de forma que ellos entendieran, siempre los incluyo. Es muy amigable y el tour fue tan natural que parecía que lo conocía de años. Son de las cosas positivas que siempre se recuerdan en los viajes. Personalmente lo recomiendo mucho. Puedo asegurar que conoce más Barcelona que los propios locales! Muchas gracias por compartirnos tus conocimientos sobre Catalunya Alan! Un abrazo cálido de parte de toda mi familia! Alan is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and patient. I should mention that I was traveling with children, and he was always careful to explain things in a way they could understand, making sure to include them at all times. He is very friendly, and the tour felt so natural—it was as if I had known him for years. These are the kinds of positive experiences that make trips memorable. I highly recommend him; I can say with confidence that he knows Barcelona better than the locals do! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of Catalonia with us, Alan! Warm regards from my entire family!

    Our guide Pau was passionate about Barcelona and sports. He goes like the energizer bunny. This was a great way to explore the city and see the inside of his experiences. He picked a fantastic place for lunch with fresh seafood and paella. And, he seems to be a very avid history buff. He takes you back 3,000 years and brings you right to today with the politics and happening in the city. I would be remiss to not to point out that this was a walking tour in the hottest season on record. As a result, we did take a few cabs to get between places (which was very welcome with some air conditioning) and we still got over 15,000 steps. Be prepared for a physical challenge. Pau was a great host to the city of Barcelona.

    Frederico accommodated my family (8 people) needs and provided a wonderful evening, with some history mixed in. The tapas and dessert were an authentic Barcelona experience, enjoyed by all.
