We had a fantastic time with Federico! He was so knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. He even provided a fantastic tip to my husband about an antique market for a future time. We really appreciated his friendliness and thought the couple of hours spent with him was a great intro to the city to then explore more on our own. Thank you, Federico!!!!Great exposure to Barcelona food & markets

Gonzalo did an amazing job customizing and tweaking the tour as it progressed, paying attention to what I found most interesting and adding more of that and less of other things. He’s patient, knowledgeable and passionate about his city. Overall - fantastic experience. I highly recommend him. Amazing historic tour

We started our tour in Old Town, which is a wonderful part of Barcelona. We visited a number of unique restaurants where we tasted an interesting assortment of Tapas. Federico chose a wonderful and diverse menu based on our preferences. The evening ended with a visit to the Chocolate shop where we tasted terrific sweets dipped in chocolate. Federico provided us with a very informative tour and chose fun and interesting establishments to visit. He was knowledgeable and answered many of our questions about the history of the area.

My wife and I enjoyed an amazing food tour around Barcelona with Elvira, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that combined local knowledge with our own requests. 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! Elvira is personable, knowledgable, and brings her own experiences and understandings. We learned a huge amount, ate even more! Thanks, and we will return with the family!Amazing and personalized food tour

Three hours of history, art, economy and daily life notions. Time just flew in a blink of eyes. Federico was a very thoughtful pleasant guide, leading us through the treasuries of the narrow alleys of Barcelona. It was not our first time in Barcelona, but this time we could discover some hidden spots never seen before! Thanks Federico! See you next time! A pleasant and interesting stroll

Elvira was a great guide. Full of enthusiasm and very knowledgeable. Easy to listen to. Was happy to adapt tour to our needs, taking into consideration what we had already seen, ensuring we weren’t covering areas twice. E bikes were a great way of covering a lot of areas, a lot of fun!

She shared great insights about the city’s history, architecture, and hidden gems that I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. The tour was well-paced, and she made sure to tailor it to my interests. I highly recommend booking with her if you want a personalized and engaging tour of Barcelona. Thank you, Liliia, for a wonderful experience!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing City Tour with Liliia!

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!

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

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!

Sebastian was an amazing guide—warm, friendly, funny. He seemed to have a bottomless source of facts, pictures, and stories about Barcelona and its rich history and beautiful architecture that really brought it all to life for my daughter and myself. And when we find our way back here, we certainly hope to work with him again! Do not miss!Enthusiastic and a wealth of knowledge!

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. Family friendly tour with toddlers

We learned so much about the history of the city and the architecture. We also were able to ask him anything we wanted to know about the Spanish lifestyle, traditions, politics, etc. No subject was off limits. He's a real pro at this and his enthusiasm is contagious. We also discovered Jorid and I attended the same university in Texas - where he did his semester abroad. What are the odds!!!We love Jordi!

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!

Alessandro was amazing! Catered the tour to our likes and was a wealth of knowledge on the history of the buildings and Spain itself. We learned so much history and even learned about and got to taste authentic local food and he took us to the oldest hat shop when he heard hats were a thing with us! I couldn’t have been happier with our experience! Totally recommend him! He was even patient with our jet lag!Awesome guide through Barcelona!

(About local Sebastian)

6 enero 2025

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
