Great option for first time trip to Barcelona

Mo_J, Nov 2025

This was my first time in Barcelona and having a full-day private tour guide was a very good choice. She met me at my hotel and showed me all around the area. The experience was very personalized.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

We're delighted to hear that your first visit to Barcelona was made even more memorable with a personalized full-day tour. It’s wonderful that your guide was able to meet you at your hotel and show you around in a way that truly suited your interests.

Getting to know Barcelona

Robert_S, Sep 2025

Pao was great. He shared his knowledge about Barcelona with emphasis on sports, which is his passion. We took taxis to many of the venues to reduce the time between sites and allow more time at each site. Pao took us to a great local restaurant away from the tourist spots. This was fully customizable.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your time in Barcelona with Pao! It’s wonderful that his passion for sports, flexible planning, and local restaurant choice made the experience so personal and memorable. Thank you for your kind feedback!

Barca on foot

Leigh_F, Jun 2025

Pau was very friendly and knowledgeable. The city is amazing to see on foot, and having a local guide allows you to see things you would miss otherwise. Thanks Pau!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad Pau helped bring the city to life with insights and local knowledge. Walking with someone who knows the hidden corners does make all the difference!

Walking highlights Barcelona

heidi_l, Jan 2025

What a great way to experience Barcelona - truly the highlights ! The guide was fantastic, knowledgeable, astute, charming and full of stories. While it didn’t include entrance to any of the Gaudi sites - you could fully customize the experience with the exception being that many entrances require advance booking during the holidays - this was a ‘highly recommended’ experience!

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great time experiencing the highlights of Barcelona. We're glad you enjoyed your guide's expertise and charm. We appreciate your understanding regarding the Gaudi sites and advance bookings during the holidays. Thanks for recommending the experience!

Barcelona for a day with Claire

j7040club, May 2022

We were greeted by our tour guide Claire via email well in advance of our trip to plan our tour. She selected sites she thought we'd be interested in seeing and confirmed her plans with us in advance. On the day of the tour she arrived early and was a joy to be around for a full day in Barcelona. She showed us sites of interest at an enjoyable pace and selected stops for a coffee break and lunch that were both excellent. If you have a chance for a day in Barcelona with Claire, our group of four gives her our highest recommendations.
