We enjoyed our time with Ilona. She was very knowledgeable and took her responsibilities as a tour guide very seriously. Both in communicating ahead of time and day of our tour, Ilona took the time to discover what we were interested and incorporated that into her remarks. While our tour was the Gaudi tour, I appreciated that Ilona incorporated the history and background that led to Catalunyan Modernisme, as well as showed us and talked about architecture by others from that time period. Ilona gave us the right amount of information, not overwhelming us without too much detail yet making sure we understood the most important points. Our morning with Ilona was a morning well-spent.Great tour with knowlegeable guide

Myself and my husband spent the day with Pili. What a way to discover Gaudí from his first project to his work designing the Sagrada Familia. Pili’s knowledge on all things Gaudi is amazing and her explanations about Guadi’s use of light was fascinating. She was a fascinating and inspiring guide with a passion for her subject and we would highly recommend her. An amazing and facinating day!

While on our cruise, we realized we had 3.5 hours after we disembarked in Barcelona before we needed to check in for our flight. After an awesome Barcelona pre-cruise food tour with Vicky, we decided we wanted her to pick us up at the Cruise Port, see some more of Barcelona and then drop us off at the airport. Vicky developed an itinerary with the cost, emailed it to me for approval and then she and the driver picked us up at the Cruise Port. Another awesome tour of a wonderful city with a rich history, culture and food. We stopped and toured around the Olympic Village and walked along the beach. We stopped at a noted Paella restaurant for a very tasteful lunch. After taking a post lunch walk and visiting two Chocolate stores, it was time to head to the airport. Highly recommend that you engage Vicky in any tour that she leads! She has become family and we can’t wait to visit Barcelona again to have her show us more highlights. Vicky made Barcelona memorable!Second Awesome Barcelona Tour with Vicky!

We had an unforgettable time at Montserrat with Ivanna. This was our second time booking a tour with her and it’s always a pleasure. The ride up the mountain was great, she had the foresight to ask if I was afraid of heights (which I am!) and made accommodations to avoid using the cable car. The monastery is awesome and surroundings are beautiful. Ivanna made sure we didn’t miss any detail. The ride back to town seemed to go by in a flash with stories from Ivanna’s local knowledge. Another highly recommended tour, we’ll book with Ivanna next time we’re in Barcelona. Unforgettable Montserrat

I’m so glad I picked Ivanna for the Gaudì Tour in Barcelona. She worked with me in advance to get the itinerary just right, and she made sure everyone in my family of 6 stayed engaged throughout the whole thing. She even made recommendations for things we should check out after the tour. Ivanna was so knowledgeable and easy to get along with, it really made the experience wonderful. Highly recommend!Wonderful Gaudi Tour

We really enjoyed our tour with Ilona. She was warm, knowledgeable, and brought so much local history into the food experience that it felt like we were getting two tours in one. We appreciated her help in cutting through the tourist traps and introducing us to dishes and spots we wouldn’t have tried on our own. It was a relaxed and engaging way to explore the city and its food culture: we came away full, happy, and more knowledgeable about Barcelona. We’re also very grateful that Ilona was able to accommodate us, after our flight was delayed and we arrived late. We did this tour at the beginning of our trip and felt much more equipped to enjoy the rest of our stay in the city.Two tours in one — food and local insight

Vicky was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. As I told her at our first food stop- her passion for Barcelona was very evident! That passion made my wife and I excited to be in Barcelona and pleased to have Vicky as our guide. Even though it was a food tour, with awesome food and drinks, Vicky shared her knowledge of Barcelona history along with an eye on multiple architectural perspectives. Vicky is easy to talk with and genuinely cared about our perspectives and questions. Imagine having your best friend who lives in Barcelona showing you all that is great in their city to include its food, drinks, history, culture, people and beautiful buildings. That best friend is Vicky! We look forward to returning to Barcelona and having Vicky show us more of this fabulous city. Vicky is Awesome!

Vicky was super informative and very knowledgeable. She personalized our tour and pivoted when we got off schedule like a pro. It was so helpful that Vicky knew the ins and outs of the new and old city. We ate our favorite tapas and desserts all guided and preplanned by Vicky !! Those were our favorite from the entire trip and there always was plenty of cava. Vicky was the gem and gave us very unique experience that we will cherish always!! Thank you and cheers !!! Highly recommend a tour with Vicky Family, Vicky, tapas and history

We expected more. Ilona was really very,very friendly But unfortunately the tour was a little bit uninspired and boring. She told us facts from the travel guide and unfortunately didn’t really inspire us with hidden secrets from Barcelona. To be honest 200 Euros is a bit much for that.Disappointing

We had the pleasure and luck to meet Elvira last weekend in Barcelona. The experience was great! Even if we were a group of eight, she was able to provide us the best experience. We were able to visit the REAL markets and bars, and taste what for local people "Tapas" means. Everything was well explained, interesting and we could even get insights on how Barcelona's people live. We can only suggest Elvira to everyone, and for sure not only for Tapas experience. She is great!Great experience towards the real Tapas

(About local Ivanna)

29 junio 2025

My wife and I were in Barcelona for three days following a 2-week Mediterranean cruise, and we had no plans in place. I found Ivanna on the "With Locals" website... it was somewhat last-minute, but thankfully she was available. Our 4-hour personal tour was excellent. She started by showing us (and teaching us about) the sights and architecture around La Rambla. She even showed us a "hidden" Roman wall that most people - including many who live in Barcelona - were unaware of. As she learned more about our interest in the culture, people, and history, she walked us through the old, and new, sections of the city. She pointed out architectural points, even explaining that one of the most famous churches in the Gothic district wasn't actually original to that time, even though it looks like it should be - and she had photos to prove it! She gave us history lessons, told us stories, and helped us to "feel" the city we were visiting. We stopped for a drink at one of her favorite locations - Els 4 Cats - where Picasso used to meet with his friends... and then she was kind enough to introduce us to the owner and surprised us with reservations for dinner there the next night. Bottom line, Ivanna offered us not only the best private tour we've ever experienced, she shared herself and her love of the city with us... she was wonderful. If you're looking for a personal approach, look no further. Hire Ivanna without reservation - you'll be very glad you did.Best personal tour we've ever had!

Ilona was very knowledgeable about Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, and she definitely pointed out things we wouldn't have seen without her. She introduced us to Patisserie Hafmann which was incredible! Ilona worked hard to accommodate our schedule after I made a mistake initially, and she responded nicely to all my communications.

We loved the walking food tour with our guide. We were a family of 4, with an 11-year-old child. She made it fun and interesting for all of us. We learned about the history of Barcelona and saw some interesting things along the way to the restaurants, like a folk festival with dancing and a band, and a parade as well. The tapas we got to pick out at the restaurant were enough to count as a meal. The dessert we had at the restaurant next door was heavenly!Great food tour in Barcelona!

Our group of 4 senior women had a most wonderful tapas experience with Alan . Upon request he greeted us at our hotel as we had only just flown in that afternoon from Sydney ( a gruelling flight ) He gave us a patient and detailed experience of how to use the metro system, travelling alongside us. Alan entertained us with his vast knowledge of the history of Barcelona and Spain as we explored the streets and bars of this exciting city. Alan’s knowledge , enthusiasm ,kind approach and experience made our evening tapas tour one to remember .Tapas Tour of Barcelona

Spending 3 hours with Alan was pure delight. From the moment we met him we could see his passion and enthusiasm. We were touring with our 13 yr old grandson and he related perfectly to him and to us. He had lots of great anecdotes, tremendous command of Barcelona's history and a great sense of humor. He went out of his way to help us secure Park Guell tickets when there were none available. He's an extremely nice guy and a top class guide. So lucky to have chosen Alan!Alan is a wealth of knowledge

I travelled to Barcelona with my husband and my 10-years son and I was looking for a tour guide who speaks Greek so that my son will understand better. I chose Vicky and she was very welcome to plan together a tour that would be interesting also for our son. I appreciated that a lot. The communication before we travel was easy and frequent and even when we met together, we were so happy that Vicky shared with us so much information about the history, the culture, the best places to visit and also the events. We are so happy we had this experience with Vicky because she knows so much about the city and its history. Very interesting experience!

Wir hatten eine bereichernde Zeit mit Elvira! Es fühlte sich an, als würden wir mit einer Freundin spazieren gehen. Völlig entspannt und mit vielen Einblicken in die katalanische Kultur, führte sie uns durch die charmanten Gassen der Viertel El Born und Gothic. Ein Highlight der Tour war der Besuch einer ursprünglichen Tapasbar, wo wir die lokale Küche genießen konnten. Leider ging die Zeit viel zu schnell vorbei. Elvira sendete uns auch nach der Tour weitere wertvolle Tipps, auch zu spanischer Musik, die ich liebe! Wir können Elvira sehr empfehlen. Kultur & Tapas: Tour mit Herz und Genuss!
