EvelynJ_H, May 2025

Great experience and Frederico was so knowledgeable and interesting. Took us places that we would never have found on our own. Enjoyed the entire experience.

Response from Host, May 2025

We’re delighted to hear you had such a great experience with Frederico. Thank you so much for your kind words!

A great visit to El Born, Barcelona

Robert_H, Jun 2022

Visiting the Arco de Triunfo and making a wish as I passed beneath the arco was an amazing ending to my tour. I tremendously enjoyed the cuisine at San Pedrito Restaurant. Touring the Mayor’s Office was very special also. All of this was under the excellent guidance of my amazing Tour Guide, Ivanna Pogorelsky. Ivanna’s conversational style was perfect for me and made the time spent exploring El Born quite memorable.
