5.00Each new city I go to I seek out a tour to kick off the trip so that I get the lay of the land and an introduction to the history and culture. I spent a lot of time looking for the right tour to take in Barcelona, and I am super happy with this tour and specifically Fred, our tour guide. He was super knowledgeable and enthusiastic and was fun to hang out with as well. It felt more like a friend was showing us around rather than us being on a tour. He also pointed out the restaurant that we went to for our first lunch and that was an awesome recommendation. Overall, highly recommend this Gems Private Walking Tour and Fred!

5.00Fred was great. Right on time and communicated with us well. He went at our pace and was very knowledgeable and informative. He pointed out lots of little details we would have missed on our own. It was a fun morning!

Andy is the hidden gem

5.00Andy is the perfect tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and in tune with our interests. He had great stories and showed us things we would never have know about or found in guide books. It’s obvious he takes great joy in his job and he worked hard to ensure we had a great experience. This combined with his wit and great sense of humor made for a fantastic tour and experience.
Money well-spent

5.00There are numerous group and private tour operators in the city, and I looked at many descriptions on Expedia and Viator to find one that did more than the obvious sights you can manage on your own. I found Andy at Barcelona Boutique Tours and was very happy with him. He took me into places I might have walked by just because an alley did not look inviting but not knowing that at the other end was a building or plaza. He is a newer guide, but knows the city well and is passionate about sharing it. He adjusted his route based on my interests and what I’d already seen. And he was great to just chat with (I’ve found that many guides stick to their script and are not really conversational). His English is excellent, which is more rare in Spain that you might expect or hope.
