Traveler reviews
Best day in Barcelona
Pablo was excellent! He was informative, helpful , flexible and fun to be with. He was very precisely on time with a clean cool vehicle and he did everything we asked of him. We did not want all day so I told him what we wanted to see and have a lunch and be back by 3 and he did it! Amazing and fun 6 hours with a really smart and fun guide. Ask for Pablo!!
It was an excellent tour....
It was an excellent tour. David was a very knowledgeable guide and such a nice person. He took very good care of us and was extremely informative…a great guide!
Family of Three
Our guide was Tatiana and driver Alberto. They took great care of us making sure to preview what was next and helping us to maneuver the sites in a timely manner. We were able to enjoy each stop with our family and take plenty of pictures, take water breaks and truly enjoy ourselves through the entire day. We learned so much about Barcelona, the culture and our favorite architect Antoni Gaudi. We are foodies so we also appreciated all the food advice along the way. So very glad we went on this small group tour and did not try to brave this on our own. So worth every dollar spent! Would highly recommend.
Fascinating and inspiring
Alberto was a great guide, a real vast wealth of knowledge of the city of Barcelona and the history behind it, with no detail spared. I couldn’t recommend this more. The whole thing was mesmerising especially the architecture! What a man Antonio Gaudí was! And of course Alberto! Phenomenal!
Barcelona in a day
