What are people saying about Barcelona

Deborah_K, Aug 2026

Great day !

I was a little skeptical about booking this trip because it’s a long day, but I’m so glad we did. Our guide. Lenice was so knowledgeable and really enjoy to have around. She was very organized and everyone was very respectful of the time. I am very pleased with this experience and will definitely recommend to friends visit in Barcelona.

Costa Brava Tour: Kayak, Snorkel & Cliff Jump from Barcelona

Monika_R, Aug 2026

Must do

We went as a family of 5 ages 8-49 and all had an unforgettable time. We originally booked the 10am departure from BCN but had to adjust due to weather and ended up doing an 8am departure. Earlier turned out better! No one was at the beach yet when we arrived, traffic was less, water was flat calm and we were back in time to shower and go to dinner! The caves and cliff jumping were so much fun for all of us and the go pro pics our amazing guide René took are framers. A truly gorgeous beach and views. We learned about the history of the area without it feeling like an audio tour (museum fatigue!) and knew we were in very capable hands the whole excursion. Would repeat.

Sara_H, Aug 2026

Great tour - perfect amount of time - beautiful sites.

Flawless experience. Bus was clean, air conditioned and very comfortable. Drive was very scenic with tour guide explaining sites along the way. Tour and Intro to Montserrat was very good - just enough details and not too much. Time at Montserrat was perfect - didn't need any less or more. Highly recommend. Was the highlight of our trip!

Amazing!!

This was a wonderful experience. Manu was the best tour guide I’ve ever had had. He’s very energetic and knowledgeable, and made sure to answer all of the questions. The overall tour was very detailed and fun, and Manu made sure to bring everyone together and we all thoroughly enjoyed our day together. I highly recommend, this was truly an unforgettable experience!

Barcelona to Montserrat Monastery: Tour, Transfers & Basilica

James_H, Aug 2026

Funicular to top, hike down Montesory, relaxed, visit the Church.

We did the guided tour with Marc. He was fun and had a lot of great information about the sites. Our trip provided us with 2 hours of free time which was great. There is dining, hiking, plenty of places to to sit and enjoy the views, learn about the history, a beautiful Church, Montesory, shopping, cable car and more. We really enjoyed talking the funicular rail to the top of the next peak and hiked back down to the Montesory. It is paved but can be steep in areas. Glad we were going down not up. Once back to the small village with the Montesory we relaxed and enjoyed some food and a drinks. This took the full 2 hours and we went a enjoyable pace stopping and taking photos and enjoying the views. We finished this tour visiting the beautiful church and riding back in a comfortable large air-conditioned bus. I would recommend this trip. Beautiful, peaceful, fun, with interesting stories and facts.

A Wonderful tour and tour guide

Eduardo was great! He is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful spirit and sense of humor. You could tell even the people working at Montserrat knew him and genuinely liked him very much. He picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel too. I highly recommend this tour with Eduardo.

Florangel_P, Aug 2026

Well worth it!

The tour was a great way to see beautiful sites and learn a little bit about the history and culture of the area. Arnau provided a very engaging view of the area including historical and cultural contexts which have more meaning to the views. There was a good mix of guided walks and personal exploration. He also gave periodic heads up on what is to happen next. Lastly, he has a good sense of humor. George’s excellent driving kept us safe through the winding hairpin turns getting to and from Andorra. I can enjoy the views better with him at the wheel. Thanks, Arnau and George!

Girona & Dali Museum Small Group Tour with Pick-up from Barcelona

Travels with our new friend Chema

We spent the day with Chema visiting Girona and The Dali museum in Figueres. My family of 3 adults were the only visitors on this trip, which was perfect, as my husband and I have mobility issues (use canes). Chema was patient with our pace. He is very knowledgeable about both towns, the museum and the routes we traveled during the day. (He even knew about a shortcut at one traffic delay which saved us 20 minutes travel time on the way back.) We learned much, laughed a lot and enjoyed the day immensely. I would highly recommend Chema if you are considering this 10 hour day trip. It will go by very quickly and by the end you will have made a new friend.

Costa Brava Day Sightseeing Tour with Boat Trip from Barcelona

David_B, Jul 2026

A little Gem, not to be missed

The team from “Barcelona Holidays” are EXCEPTIONAL ! You cannot get any better : Anna Monica Niam These guys gave clear instruction, were knowledgeable, kind and were very independent - not ushering us into restaurants of their choice or hard selling any other commodity. From the moment we were picked up from Barcelona Nord Bus station until being dropped back there later in the day, everything went perfect. Lloret and Tossa are lovely places to see, and as you’d expect, plenty of restaurants and shops to make the day memorable. There was even a little (optional / free) hour long walking guide in Tossa . The times between each of the places and the boat trip were spot on . And for what we got, the price is very reasonable. Thank you so much ! We fully recommend this excursion D & C x

Medieval Three Villages Small Group Day Trip from Barcelona

April_G, Jul 2026

It felt like a family road trip instead of a typical tour!

As the title says, I was blown away by this tour. It was a small tour with myself, 2 other people and our guide. She truly went above and beyond to ensure we learned about the history and culture of the villages we saw, and to help us feel comfortable. At the end of the tour we all hugged - honestly I have traveled for several decades and this was the first time this has happened. 5 stars.

Sagrada Familia and Park Guell Private Barcelona Tour

Mia_M, Jul 2026

Great Day in Barcelona

Milena, our guide, was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, hip, and genuinely fun. From the moment we met her, it felt less like we were being led around by a tour guide and more like we were spending the day with a local friend who couldn’t wait to show us her favorite city. Of course, we saw Barcelona’s iconic landmarks and learned the fascinating history behind them, but what made this tour unforgettable was everything in between. Milena took us beyond the tourist attractions and gave us a glimpse into how locals really live—the neighborhoods, hidden streets, local favorites, and the little details that bring the city to life. We left feeling like we had experienced the real Barcelona, not just checked off a list of sights. Milena was warm, engaging, and incredibly personable, with the perfect balance of history, culture, and fun stories. The hours flew by, and by the end of the tour we felt like we’d made a new friend. If you want an authentic, memorable, and genuinely enjoyable way to experience Barcelona, book this tour. It was hands down one of the highlights of our trip.
