We are a group of 8 moms/daughters from the US, and we had the most excellent experience with Ilona! Great food, so many places we never would have ventured to without our guide, beautiful small streets, wonderful history. We finished with full hearts and full bellies! Ilona was a great communicator, very flexible to meet our needs, and very focused on ensuring we had a great experience. Fully recommend!!Excellent experience!

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

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.

She went above and beyond to prepare us for our time together and really listened to our needs in setting up the experience.

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

It was such a wonderful experience with Ilona. We tasted amazing food and learned so much history along the way. We even returned to one of the restaurants later on during our trip! This was the day of the big blackout and, even with that, she made the very best of it and took us to spots we would not have seen otherwise. Highly, highly recommend Ilona. 10/10AN UNFORGETABLE TOUR in 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

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!

Our 10 Tastings of Barcelona tour with Elvira was absolutely fantastic! From the start, she was incredibly accommodating, adjusting the tour to fit our schedule and making sure we could visit the food market before it closed. Her flexibility and attention to detail made the experience stress-free and enjoyable. Elvira took us to a mix of traditional and modern food spots, introducing us to incredible local flavors. Her knowledge of Catalan cuisine and history made every stop even more meaningful, and her warm, friendly personality made us feel like we were exploring the city with a good friend. If you’re looking for a personalized, delicious, and engaging food tour in Barcelona, this is the one to book! Huge thanks to Elvira for making our experience so special. Highly recommend!An Unforgettable Food Tour with Elvira!

We went wine tasting and to Montserrat with Elvira. It was a really cold day, but I can't blame that on Elvira. Despite the cold we had a lovely day. Good wine and interesting conversation with both Elvira and the young owner of the winery. The monastery was also nice, and I think we will come back on a warmer day. Elvira knows a lot and shares her knowledge in an inviting way as she is also clearly interested in what we said. Very interesting to hear about the history of Catalonia. The car was not really suited for elderly people After the trip Elvira sent suggestions for other excursions and recommendations for restaurants. Can only recommend Elvira

There really is no constructive feedback I could give, as the tour was perfect; my wife and I are still talking and reminiscing about it!

We did the 10 tastings of Barcelona with Elvira. As a family of four ( 2 adults and 2 kids (10 and 13), we had very different preferences for food. She adjusted quickly and made sure we had a great tour. As it was our first day in Barcelona, and we were very jet-lagged, we were not as hungry as we should have been for such a tour, so she quickly pivoted and included some walking and historic tour of the City. She was very knowledgeable. She was very generous with her time, and made sure everyone had a good time. I highly recommend!Super flexible and great with kids!

What an amazing experience! I can't even just call it a tour, it was definitely an experience! Alan was amazing and really went above and beyond! We ate so much delicious food, trying things we hadn't yet as well. He picked great places to stop. Drink recommendations to pair with our food was great as well. Now comes the best part...Alan our guide, friend, host, teacher... He was AMAZING! So much knowledge shared in such a wonderful way! To say he went above and beyond is an understatement! He showed us so much. You could tell he loved being there sharing his knowledge of the beautiful city of Barcelona as much as we did! We highly recommend this experience with Alan!!!What an amazing experience!

Elvira was patient as we got lost and were running behind and greatly appreciate her flexibility! We had a fun walk around the gothic quarter with our family of 3 adults and 3 kids, all under the age of 4. some of the topics felt a bit confusing and unfinished / where we would jump around and didn’t feel like a natural flow of details but not a deal breaker.
