- 660nisaf0 contributionsTour of Costa Brava with MarcelMarcel is an amazing tour guide. I learned so much about the geographical history of Catalonia as well as contemporary knowledge about landmarks and famous people/places. It was the perfect combination of hanging out at the beach and touring different villages/communities. The food and beach in Tossa incredible and we stayed for the perfect amount of time. I can’t wait to return to share this experience with friends and family. Thank you for a great time Marcel!Written July 23, 2024
- Mary_from_HBCA0 contributionsVery Informative and FunViews were amazing. Guide was so funny and kept things moving at a great pace. Very considerate of everyone’s needs. Learned so much history. Really enjoyed our time and our last day in Barcelona.Written July 23, 2024
- Tina Z0 contributionsGreat Day Trip with Something for EveryoneAn amazing experience! I highly recommend the trip overall and Senny in particular. His knowledge of history and culture was extensive, and he made the information entertaining and tailored to our group. The places we visited were all unique and Senny found a way to bring humor and history together in the best possible way!Written July 23, 2024
- marcobU2187KC0 contributionsSmall group tour with amazing landmarks and historyAn amazing tour to really see some of the best highlights of visiting Barcelona. Our tour guide Alberto made the day worthwhile, his passion for the history of the city really came through with his anecdotes and his charisma made our small group tour feel so personal and easy going. A memorable tour that I highly recommend.Written July 23, 2024
- 926ionescua0 contributionsCore memories, plenty of laughs, unforgettable!Anatoli was so well informed and passionate about Dali and the local culture! We were so glad to have him explain the lore behind Dali’s paintings, museum and house, as the experience would have been way less enchanting without the stories behind them! He let us have plenty of time to ourselves also, as to explore Cadaques and Figueres at our own pace,, which let us form our own more intimate memories/ impressions with these spots! Anatoli was very attentive, very time efficient and so friendly and funny. Couldn’t have gotten a better guide!Written July 23, 2024
- 129ezgia0 contributionsOur guide Anatoli was the best!! A must do activity when visiting Barcelona!It was very comfortable being picked up from the hotel. And also not dealing with the transport to Figueres and Cadaques and not waiting in the line or buying the tickets for museum and the house. But apart from these the trip was very informative about Dali and Barcelona. Without that information it would not be the same. Thanks to our guide Anatoli, he was the best!!Written July 23, 2024

He messaged me pick up time the night before, and when it didn’t work for us, he was able to come up with another plan to accommodate. Ramon has a vast knowledge of the area and his country, and shared so much of it with the entire group. He definitely loves what he does and is a wonderful tour guide!Written July 23, 2024

What am superior guide! Full of fun facts, historic references (so well presented chronologically) and references to country's development. Could not have found a more informative and comfortable guide to tour the old part of Barcelona. Exceptional up close to the antiquates with in depth presentations. Very well done Pablo!

We took the half day tour around Barcelona today with Teo. It was amazing! Even though it rained a little in the morning (Teo was nice enough to give us all umbrellas) we still got to see all the main sites and walked around Gothic Quarter. We even had a little time to venture out on our own to visit a few shops and get some coffee. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Teo if you want to see the sites in Barcelona.

Our walking tour in the old town of Barcelona was such a worthwhile experience.
Our guide, Stephanie was absolutely outstanding. Her enthusiasm for the city and its history really came through as she guided us through the enchanting streets of the Gothic Quarter.
We were walking for over two hours but the time went so quickly as Stephanie shared her extensive knowledge with explanations about architectural styles, and anecdotes from days gone by.
We came away having learnt a great deal from our experience and would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in trying something new, or is looking to immerse themselves in the local culture and history.
Finally, I must reiterate how fantastic a guide Stephanie is. Not only was she informative, but she was also great fun to be around and really went the extra mile when we had questions etc. It’s great to see someone so passionate about their job and subject matter.
A fantastic 10/10 experience!

The tour guide was hard to understand and follow. She shared a lot of information but not in a very structured way. If Thai is the only thing you do in Barcelona, I hope you get a different guide, as we did not get a good knowledge from this tour.

Jana spoke excellent English and took care to cover the wide variety of interests of the group. She was informative and engaging. Even though we have visited the old town before, we came away armed with new facts, new perspectives and a reinforced appreciation of the beauty of Barcelona, its old buildings, culture and history.

Hello. What is the time for the tour?

We met outside the Hard Rock Cafe at 7:00pm. The walking tour, tapas tasting, and flamenco show took up the whole evening, till about 10:00pm. Well worth the money.

Hi!
I want to do a tour of the gothic region looking at all the architecture and learning about the buildings and Spanish Inquisition and all the fun interesting facts from hundreds of years ago
There are 6 of us and we are flexible with time but prefer 11:00am ish vs night bc we have dinners every night
We want a private tour. And will pay extra for private
I live in madrid and on the train right now coming to Barcelona
So Saturday would be perfect. Either before 3 or possibly 5 or 6
I will pay for two or three hours but we only want to do an hour and a half
Thank you!
