I loved the tour. The...

I loved the tour. The water was beautiful. My twelve year old daughter loved the cliff jumping. She did one of the 20 feet jumps. It was about a hour bus ride from the starting point to the beach. The lunch was amazing. We snorkeled and saw vibrant color fish. The kayaking was a relaxing and manageable experience for my family and I. My eight year old son loved kayaking and would definitely recommend for families and couples.

It was a very nice experience outside of Barcelona, the tour guide handled the driving and guiding very well. Lluis was very knowledgeable. The only thing that I wasn't thrilled about was the early pick up while we drove around for almost an hour to pick up 2 others.

Park Güell Skip-the-Line Guided Tour Barcelona

Mindy_C, Jul 2026

Amazing in Barcelona

Steven Rodriguez, our tour guide, did an amazing job guiding our group through this amazing park. His knowledge and experience shined through as he shared the meaning of the art in the park. Steven had a great way of sharing facts while eliciting group participation, using some humor along the way. It was a memorable experience!

Montserrat Half Day with Cable Car and Easy Hike from Barcelona

Melissa_C, Jul 2026

Hot, but worth it!

This was a great way to get out of the hustle and bustle of the city. We had a great tour guide and although it was extremely warm, he made sure we took breaks as needed. Although this is not super strenuous, I would not suggest to anyone that is not in average shape. There was a lot of walking and in some areas, it was uphill. The views were amazing and the monastery was gorgeous!

Barcelona to Montserrat Monastery: Tour, Transfers & Basilica

Miguel_M, Jun 2026

Montserrat Monastery and Basilica

Montserrat is a must see. The Basilica is impressive, beautiful, holy and much more! The views from the monastery are stunning. Really worth the time. Our guide Francisco was top notch, giving us historical perspectives that can only come from a lot of reading and memorization. One of the best guides I have had the pleasure of meeting! Try to attend mass if possible, it’s very reverent, holy, moving and much more.

Montserrat Hiking Experience & Monastery Premium Small Group Tour

Clementine_C, Jun 2026

Amazing hike, geography, history, and guide!

Christian was our guide for this Montserrat trip. Christian was knowledgable, added lots of context to our journey, and kept us safe & on time with the hike. Christian did a great job making it clear how long we'd have to explore each place, and where to meet back. The hike was not too strenuous, and had various break points to talk about the scenery and history. Very well done!

Barcelona Small Group Tour with Local Guide on Bike or E-Bike

Reasonably priced bike tour through Barcelona

Great bike tour. E-bikes are user friendly and very easy to use. Our tour guide Kerion was great! Super knowledgeable and guided us around the city in a safe yet efficient manner. I highly recommend this tour it’s a great way to see the city- and do yourself a favour and ask for Kerion as your guide!

Combo: Skip the Line Sagrada Familia & Park Guell Guided Tour

Jackie_F, May 2026

No to Park Guell, yes to Sagrada Família

Guided tour of Park Guell really isn’t needed, it’d be more cost effective to walk around on your own. In hindsight, I would skip Park Guell all together. I’d recommend taking a taxi to the exact meeting point since walking there from the front entrance of the park (where the stairs are) is a TREK. The Sagrada Família tour was great. It was great to have a tour guide point out all the intricacies on the different facades of the church to understand their relevance and this would have been missed without a tour.

Barcelona Small Group Wine & Tapas Tour with a Sommelier

loweam, May 2026

Fantastic Food and Wines

Guide was fabulous. It wound up being only 4 of us and the places she chose were outstanding. The food and wince choices were top notch and was definitely the best tour we took in Barcelona. I would recommend doing this tour the first night or 2 in Barcelona as we would have wanted to go back to some of the restaurants for dinner. Only feedback I have is to change the meeting point directions to 1 Rda de Sant Paul vice 11. Once I GPS “Stay Together Barcelona Apartments”, I had no trouble finding her.

Rudy_v, May 2026

Easy sailing with a small group

Trip couldn’t have been much better, Edu was awesome (our skipper). We were taken care of with plenty of snacks and drinks throughout the day and learned so much about Barcelona and her history. Highly recommend this charter. 2 hours was the perfect amount of time for us.

Barcelona Sunset Cruise with Light Snacks and Open Bar

Mark_H, Oct 2025

Perfect ending to a Barcelona trip

Absolutely wonderful way to spend a final evening on Barcelona. The girls hosting / skippering were great fun and excellent hosts. They did the best they could with the very average weather on the day, so we weren’t able to go into the ocean, instead cruising gracefully around the harbour, which was perfect. Thoroughly recommended.

Barcelona Catamaran Cruise with Tapa & Drink Included

Bridget_R, Sep 2025

Worthwhile doing

This was everything I was hoping for. We had a wonderful couple of hours out on the Mediterranean. We put the sails up, caught a fish and had a swim. The crew were fantastic. We had a different perspective of Barcelona. We also met interesting people from around the world. Highly recommend!
