Perfect way to start your Barcelona trip

Michael_F, May 2026
Perfect way to start your visit to this great city. Vincent started with finding out our interests and truly customizing for both of us. I strongly recommend anyone looking to get the lay of the land!

Memories made walking

Anna_S, May 2026
Deborah was an absolutely fantastic guide in Barcelona! Super lovely, knowledgeable, and she really tailored the experience to our interests and pace. She made the whole tour feel personal, relaxed, and engaging. On top of that, she was incredibly funny and kind, which made the day even more enjoyable. We learned so much while having a great time. Highly recommend Deborah if you want a warm, insightful, and memorable tour experience!

Debora was wonderful

Robert_L, Aug 2025
Debora was an excellent guide. She took us all around the city and showed us the sights. She was extremely friendly and personable. I would not hesitate to recommend her.

Be prepared!

She showed up on time. I was leaving to walk the El Camino and had a lot of decisions to make. She kept asking me what I wanted to do and see. She read the history off a script. Her English wasn't great. We did not really connect. I wanted to leave after about an hour and I had opted for three. Not a great experience. She also asked me quiz type questions which were annoying. To much money and not enjoyable.

Amazing sights and fabulous guide

Kathy_T, May 2025
Our walking tour covered almost "all" of Old Town Barcelona. We walked over 20,000 steps. Matilda was a fabulous guide, five stars plus. She contacted us before the tour so that we could make arrangements to go through the Sagrada Familia on our own, she is not a licensed guide for that church. We spent 8 hours with her and another 2 hours in the church on another day. Matilda took us everywhere. We would walk into a square. She would take us out a little corner street and we would end up in another Square at another fabulous attraction. We saw the infamous kiss. We got incredible pictures at the Cathedral and of Parliament buildings, and of the mayor's office. We walked to the Columbus statue. I didn't feel we missed anything. Matilda had lunch reservations at an authentic restaurant for us where the good was great. Both the you're and our guide, Matilda were amazing! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful Barcelona

Marla_S, Nov 2024
Pau was energetic and enthusiastic about Barcelona. He didn’t always focus on the places and topics we had asked him to include in our private tour but he did eventually touch lightly on them towards the end of our time together.

Top Notch Guide

Rachel_D, Nov 2024
If I could leave 10 stars, I would. There is a difference between having a tour guide and having Pau. He was lovely from the moment we got in touch on WhatsApp. He contacted me before my arrival to make sure he introduced himself and get an idea of things we wanted to see during our tour. From that point we trusted him to show us the city from his point of view. Pau is a native of Barcelona so he made sure we had a great time. He showed us every corner of the city he could possibly think of. He is well travelled and speak several lqnguages. He had a vast knowledge of the history and he is a loyal FCB Fan. We had a fantastic day with him in the City, at Camp Nou and having great Tapas. My husband and I would have never seen Barcelona like we did without having Pau as a guide. We felt his love for his hometown and he truly make sure that his group have a good time. He went above and beyond to assure we enjoy Barcelona. I will always recommend him for those visiting Barcelona.

Great experience

Susan_T, Oct 2024
Great experience and very knowledgeable tour guide. So glad I went! Got to see many things that are not on bus tours. Beautiful city showcased by a wonderful tour guide.

Great guide for a great city

scott_e, Jul 2024
Pau Martrat was an excellent guide. He took us to many sites throughout Barcelona during our 4 hour walking tour. He knows his local history and discusses many local customs as part of his tour. He tries his best to show you as much as possible.

Simply Amazing

Tasha_C, May 2024
Our tour guide Armondo M. made our entire tour memorable. He was very knowledgeable and showed us areas of Barcelona that we probably would not have experienced otherwise.

Un tour incroyable avec Pau

Berry_P, Nov 2024
Pau est un guide francophone génial !!! Il nous a fait un tour du quartier gothique de Barcelone, tout en mêlant histoire de la ville, anecdotes et curiosités de la ville, et des bonnes adresses de restaurants locaux. Nous avons même fait un petit tour à la plage Nous le recommandons à 100%
