Antonio is a delightful guide. He pointed out so many sights on-the drive from Barcelona and in the small nation of Andorra. One unfortunate aspect - which was due to our choice and for which Antonio is not in the least responsible - was our need for a six passenger van. Three of us had to sit facing backwards and viewing was adverse, especially those in the center seats. Antonio was in the front (although he offered to sit in the back) and we had se difficulty hearing everything he talked about. Nevertheless, Antonio was very accommodating to personalize our interests. Andorra is beautiful

We had an incredible time with Sebastian. From the very beginning, he captivated us with his unique storytelling—describing Barcelona’s history as a lasagne, with layers upon layers waiting to be uncovered. And that’s exactly what he did: he peeled back each layer with insight, humor, and passion. Sebastian’s deep knowledge of the city, combined with his engaging personality, made every stop feel special. Whether we were admiring iconic landmarks or stumbling upon tucked-away treasures, he brought each place to life with fascinating stories, histories and local perspectives. This tour was very inspiring. We left with a richer understanding of Barcelona and a genuine appreciation for its culture and history. Highly recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable experience in this beautiful city!

We had a great city tour with Moises. He responded perfectly to our wishes. There was never too much information and it was always interesting. A very cool mix. We got on very well with him and the coordination in advance was very good and we got some tips for our trip. Moises provides suggestions and recommendations on Google Maps.Best tour for our group of lads!

We had an absolutely incredible experience touring Barcelona, thanks to our amazing guide Moisés. From start to finish, he was the perfect combination of knowledgeable, patient, and kind. What truly set this tour apart was his deep understanding of Barcelona’s rich architectural and cultural history. While we were initially excited to learn about Gaudí, our guide went above and beyond by introducing us to other key figures in Catalan Modernism, including Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Josep Puig i Cadafalch. He gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s architecture and helped us see Barcelona in a completely new light. Walking through the streets with him, we discovered hidden details and stories we completely missed on our own. His insights made the city come alive in ways we never expected. The highlight, of course, was the Sagrada Família — we were absolutely blown away not just by the grandeur of the building, but by the depth of knowledge he shared about the symbolism, structure, and design of its exterior. This tour was easily one of the most enriching and memorable parts of our trip. We left with a newfound appreciation for Barcelona and its incredible history. Highly, highly recommended!An Unforgettable Experience in

Antonio was incredibly helpful in planning our tour. He provided us with multiple options, described each and how they might work for our family, and helped plan an amazing day for our us. He shared a ton of great information about the places we visited and kept the tour interesting throughout. Antonio offered helpful recommendations for places to stay, restaurants to try, and options for transportation. I would definitely recommend Antonio for anyone looking to tour and learn about the Costa Brava region.Accommodating and helpful

Many thanks towards the tour guide Moises, who helped to enhance the tour experience by keeping it interactive and fun while still historically intresting.

Sebastian was punctual and waiting for us with a big smile, that made us feel like old friends from the first moment we met. He guided us through delicious local tapas and patisseries at unique local spots that we would never had found without a Host :) Between spots he told interesting stories and fun facts about the city. The whole tour was a perfect balance between a laid back and well organized local experience. Thanks to his actor skills, he is a great communicator and sociable, which made our time together truly enjoyable! We learned that Saba also offers other tours from WithLocals, and we will definitely book him for future adventures next time we are in town. Gracias hermano <3Foodie Rock Star

Sebastian is an excellent tour guide. We would definitely book a tour with him again! He has excellent energy and was flexible with us when we needed to feed the teenagers. He shared lots of interesting stories about how history and architecture connect powerfully in Barcelona. Sebastian is great at his craft - despite our having visited Barcelona several times, and one of us having lived here in childhood, we each learned inspiring new facts and stories about Barcelona. Thank you Sebastian!

Sebastian is a kind and open minded person and he makes you feel very welcome from the first moments. He is sufficiently knowledgeable about Barcelona's history, but for our taste the tour was not well structured. It was meant to be a Gaudì tour but in the end it was more like a general explanation of the many things that happened in Barcelona throughout history enriched with some anecdotes from Gaudì's life. Overall it left us with some interesting impressions but we were not satisfied, especially given the high price we paid for this. At this cost we would not recommend it. By means of constructive feedback: a few days later we decided to join a free tour organized by Civitatis and it had quite a few parallels but everything was explained in a more in-depth and structured manner. Regardless of the price (here you donate whatever you feel adequate, ca. €10-20pp) we preferred this tour.Gaudì tour

We spent the afternoon on a tour with Sebastian. Aside from the delicious food that he showed us - which we wouldn’t have found on our own - the tour was filled with amazing history and information about the city! In addition, he gave detailed answers to all of our questions. Sebastian was conversational, easy to get along with, and was genuinely interested in making sure that we enjoyed our experience. We would do another tour with him in a heartbeat and highly recommend booking with Sebastian!Best Birthday in Barcelona

Antonio arrived at the pick up point earlier than requested and patiently waited for us. He is such an expert in all things Girona. I highly recommmed him to anyone who needs an in depth review and expert on Girona. I was initially uninterested in discovering more but Antonio just started to whet my appetite and he slowly weaved in the culture and moved on to the really unique places in Girona. To the extent, I fell in love with the town eventually. I can totally imagine myself living in. I know I will come back to Girona again and I will surely look for Antonio to bring me to Costa Brava. very well done ! Love Antonio totally

Antonio is truly a gifted tour guide, and I would highly recommend booking with him above anyone else. He felt like part of our family, and we are so grateful for everything he had planned for us. We were traveling as a family with two small children, and I cannot emphasize enough how nice it is not to have to worry about logistics when wrangling children. Not only was everything planned out at a pace we could all keep up with, but every consideration was taken into account. And Antonio is so easy going and informative about the area and history. He showed us places we would not have thought of, and a restaurant we would have never found on our own that was so delicious! Truly a wonderful experience, and I hope to come back and book with him again. Exceptional Guide & Day trip to Montserrat

25 November 2024

This was my first trip to Barcelona, and being a foody, I was looking forward to this experience. Moisés is an experienced guide, with a wealth of historical and local knowledge. He's friendly and has a lot of passion both for the city and the local cuisine. I liked that it wasn't too heavy on history or facts. Instead, everything he was telling us about the city was relevant. It helped me to understand and appreciate how the city came to be. Another highlight was learning do's and dont's around eating out in Barcelona; the local customs. And of course, the food we tasted was absolutely amazing! So much so that I then visited some of the sights on the next day just to indulge my tastes buds one more time. I highly recommend this tour, and Moisés in particular to anyone who likes tasting local cuisine. It's a great experience to do early in your trip - you'll get some recommendations for what to do and where to eat at the end of the tour and it's worth exploring those.A tasty introduction to Barcelona
