A stress-free way to explore

We understand wanting to hang around the airport and wait for your next flight – after all, getting out and exploring an unfamiliar city can be a stressful experience, especially when you have a strict time constraint.

Latest reviews from our guests

Our tour guide Alan gave us a wonderful intro to the city. He clearly loves his city and appreciates its history--as well as its present. A thoughtful and sweet man, he accommodated our need for breaks (after our 24 hours of traveling the previous day!) and took us to interesting and fun areas, including his favorite plaza in the world!

We enjoyed our time with our guide Allan, who so clearly loves his city and appreciates its history--as well as its present. We filled out a questionnaire prior to the tour so he had an idea of our interests. He was thoughtful and creative in our tour, sharing some off-the-beaten-path as well as traditional areas with us. He respected our stamina (or lack thereof, having flown in the day before) and accommodated our needs for brief breaks, charting courses to allow for that! By the end of the tour, we had a feeling for the city and its magnificence.

We absolutely loved hanging out with Alan! He is a lot of fun to be around, and he is so knowledgeable about everything Barcelona — I feel like I know everything about Gaudi now after spending time with him. Alan was also really awesome about communicating with us before and even after our tour and was happy to offer us opinions and suggestions on places to go. I can’t recommend a tour with Alan enough — thank you so much!!
