5.00Our guide Steven was funny & charismatic, we are thankful that we had him all to ourselves for this tour. We were somewhat aware of the rich culture & history Barcelona possessed but Steven opened our eyes to the history behind the architects & the architecture of the buildings we have come to know today. The tour was insightful and a lovely way to explore the city beyond the usual touristy spots. Steven also introduced us to TKO tacos (1 euro for a taco!) after our last stop at Sagrada and he kindly obliged to have lunch with us. The tour was well paced and we highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to understand the city a little better :-)

5.00Antonio is a wonderful guide: friendly, knowledgeable, and interesting. We enjoyed his discussion of Barcelona’s history and architecture. He actually spent more than the allotted time with us, and we appreciated his modification of the route due to my partner’s mobility issues. I highly recommend Antonio’s tour.

5.00The tour takes one to important (and beautiful!) Modernist landmarks. Standing in front of the Music Palace and some of the houses designed by Gaudi was a thrilling experience. Our guide was professional and friendly and knew so much about the subject of the tour. He transmitted admiration and understanding of Gaudi and his work.
Great Walk Around

5.00Isabel was such a fun and energetic guide! We were a family of 10 and she took us on a private tour to see the most famous Gaudi houses including the Sagrada Família. She never rushed us even when the kids were getting hungry and wanted a snack, she had us stop for lunch, which was delish! She not only gave us a guided tour, she shared so much history about Barcelona with us. It really enriched our time in the city and our understanding of the history. She even gave us more recommendations before we ended.
