Best Barcelona Guide!

Stephanie was a wealth of information! Kind, helpful, organized and fun! We learned more from her than any other guide from other tours. Very knowledgeable of the area and has a nice connection with the locals. Great history knowledge but not overwhelming. She wanted to be sure we had a good experience. She went out of her way to show us more than required. Great experience!!

Food and culture of Barcelona

My partner and I had a wonderful time on our food and culture tour with Montse! She is full of knowledge, polite, and fun. We had the chance to try food at different markets and learn about the city as we walked around. Having Montse’s insight was so helpful as she knew the best places to go. It was clear she has developed good relationships with the vendors. Her background in art and history were evident as she shared about Barcelona. Come hungry and with an open mind as there is plenty to eat and drink and a lot to learn! We definitely recommend this tour and it is even better if you end up with Montse as your guide.

The Full Montse! A Genuine Catalan Tour

Montse was amazing. She spent so much time with us and took us explaining her Catalan culture and we visited her favorite places. We were stuffed with both food, drink and knowledge by the end of the almost 4 hours!
