Wonderful experience

Sejal_V, Mar 2026

We had a beautiful hiking experience. Our guide was very helpful since I was on chemo and little slow. She even brought us a snack. Nuria easily communicated with me via WhatsApp before my trip and addressed all my concerns.

Dear Sejal, Thank you so much! 😊 I’m glad you had a beautiful, supportive, and personalized hiking experience, with care and clear communication before and during the trip. ✨

Awesome Barcelona Experience on a Road Less Traveled!

Denise_L, Feb 2026

Highly recommend! A nature hike for a change of pace from the city, plenty of history and culture to experience, and pretty amazing views as a reward for your effort! We were fortunate to have a beautiful sunny day with spectacular views of Barcelona including Montserrat in the distance. Our guide Nuria was spot on with all aspects of the excursion. In addition to sharing her knowledge along a nicely paced hike, she was very thorough, sending helpful reminders, providing local recommendations and helping us navigate getting down the mountain. We knew we were in good hands the entire time.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much, Denise, for your beautiful and thoughtful review. It was a true pleasure guiding you on this hiking tour to Tibidabo and sharing this unique side of Barcelona with you. I’m so happy you enjoyed the balance between nature, history, and culture, and of course the spectacular panoramic views. Seeing Barcelona from the mountain, with Montserrat in the distance on a clear day, makes the experience truly unforgettable. My intention is always to create a safe, personalized, and exclusive experience, where guests can disconnect from the busy city and reconnect with nature, while discovering hidden stories and local insights along the way. Thank you as well for your kind words about the organization and guidance. Knowing you felt comfortable, well-informed, and in good hands means everything to me. I’m very grateful you chose this Barcelona hiking experience with a local guide, and I hope to welcome you again for another unique and memorable adventure.

Best way to get to Tibidabo? This.

Melissa_N, Dec 2025

Ok. So I’m 48 and out of shape. It was wet. Not pouring like the other few days but wet. Down tree, no problem. This is the guide’s personal signature trip, and I 100% recommend it. Rain or shine. She even had gluten free cookies for us and we chatted on the way back down the mountain. The views… oh the views. Don’t take a bus. Hike in the forest. I loved it! Thank you!!!!

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌿 I’m thrilled you enjoyed this personalized mountain hiking tour, the breathtaking forest views, and even the gluten-free treats along the way. Hiking through the forest is the best way to fully experience the mountain, rain or shine. I look forward to welcoming more adventurers who love nature, hiking, and unforgettable experiences!

Fabulous hike with wonderful tour guide!

Amrita_m, Oct 2025

Nuria, our guide was incredibly prompt and proactive with her communication and directions to the place. We did a beautiful hike through the sprawling national park in Barcelona (Baixador de Vallvidrera) amid breathtaking views and sparkling conversations with Nuria. It was approximately a hour 15 minutes of walking on both flat surfaces and gentle inclines until we eventually reached the beautiful church at Tibidabo. Nuria gave us a wonderful tour of the space and also accompanied us back on a quaint minibus to the Tibidabo Funicular and then to the train station where we were able to trace our way back home. This hike is an absolute gem and is perfect for those who want to experience Barcelona in a peaceful way, free from the noise, congestion and crowds. Would highly recommend for all travelers!

This experience is all about taking the city in slowly, with nature, space and calm — I’m happy it resonated with you 🤍 Hope to welcome you again one day!

Manoj_N, Oct 2025

It was the best hiking that I have ever done. It was definitely worth it. Wait till you go to the top of the temple you all will be surprised. Evening is the best time.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌿 I’m delighted you enjoyed this hiking experience with panoramic views of Barcelona — reaching the temple at the top of Tibidabo is always a magical moment.

Incredible—highly recommended! I did it with my kids (11 and 13), and they loved it. It’s a peaceful walk with no obstacles or steep sections, allowing you to fully enjoy nature and the fresh air. Increíble, muy recomendable!. Lo hice con mis hijos (11 y 13) y lo disfrutaron mucho.
