(About local Maria)

20 junio 2025

Maria was patient, calm, knowledgeable, friendly (all of the above)! It was so nice to just walk around not worrying about getting lost. We were able to keep our eyes on our kids and the sites instead of the maps and also hear the history behind the area that I wouldn’t have been in a group tour. She was patient with my 3 year old who was wanting to stop at every tourist trap in town ;) ! Long story short: we would never have gotten to see what we did without her!Thank You

Lars is an outstanding host—well-prepared, genuinely passionate about what he does, and incredibly flexible. He went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed every part of the experience. The Barcelona tour was fantastic! We saw everything we wanted, and he kept it fun and engaging—even for our impatient, easily bored (and tired!) kids. We’d absolutely book with him again!Book Lars - great with children

Lars was our brilliant guide in May 2025 and took me, my husband and two children (ages 6 & 10) around Barcelona. Lars has an immense knowledge of the history of the city, its people, language and culture. His tour enabled us to ask so many questions and learn a huge amount about this amazing city. Lars also gave some great restaurant recommendations too. Would highly recommend. Fab family friendly tour of Barcelona

Lars’ tour was hands down the best part of our trip. He was so knowledgeable but also curious about what we wanted to do/learn about/experience. He was so so wonderful with my 11 year old daughter and showed us places we never would have seen that we will treasure forever. Don’t hesitate to book Lars, he is the best!!What a guy!

(About local Ramona)

22 abril 2025

We did the family friendly tour of Barcelona with Ramona and it was great. My 10 year old daughter immediately felt comfortable with her and was practicing her Spanish and holding her hand. Even my hard to please husband had a good time and enjoyed the information Ramona provided and the tapas recommendations she suggested. It was very easy to get along with Ramona and she felt more like an old friend than a new tour guide we had just met - we cannot recommend Ramona enough. She was fantastic! Wonderful tour with Ramona

Lars is a great child and adult friendly guide who is warmly welcoming you and finding a perfect mixture of information and stories about the city & tradition and friendship customizing his tour completely to your needs. He was even sending us tipps about many things like markets, ongoing events, public transports and recommendable restaurants for locals before and after our tour. Lars is the best guide we could wish for, just like a good friend we got to know. Thanks for the stunning experience 🤩Great guide experience with Lars

14 enero 2025

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

Krisztina was a fantastic tour guide. We had our 3 daughters (10, 9 & 9) and she did a great job of keeping them engaged for 3 hours, while giving us knowledgeable tour. I dint think we had a question she didn't know the answer to! Brilliant with our kids

Kartik🇺🇸 United States

(About local Liliia )

11 agosto 2024

Liliia is definitely knowledgable about Barcelona but I don't think the Family Friendly tour was her jam. We did a couple of Family Friendly tours in Palma and Rome so we have a decent barometer for what to expect. There was very little effort made to engage the kids and keep them interested. We also did not get the "Local snack for kids and adults". What really ticked me off is that we felt pressured at every stop to buy souvenirs and at one of them it was clear that Liliia got some rewards or commission. On the flip side, she did share some interesting tidbits with us about Barcelona and pointed out interesting things that I know we would not have gotten on other tours. Just OK

(About local Lounis)

29 julio 2024

The walking tour of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter with guide Lounis from With Locals was an exceptional experience. Lounis expertly navigated the labyrinthine streets, sharing captivating stories about the area's rich history, from Roman times to medieval architecture. His enthusiasm made the tour engaging, highlighting hidden gems like the Roman Temple of Augustus and the serene Plaça Sant Felip Neri. What truly stood out was Lounis’s patience and friendliness with my six and nine-year-old children. He took the time to engage them with fun facts and interactive questions, ensuring they felt included and entertained throughout the tour. His ability to connect with kids made the experience enjoyable for the whole family. The combination of historical insights, local anecdotes, and Lounis's warm approach provided a unique perspective, making this tour a must-do for anyone visiting Barcelona. Overall, Lounis’s knowledge and passion significantly enhanced our experience of this enchanting neighborhood, and I highly recommend this tour for families and history enthusiasts alike! Can’t miss experience! Excellent host!

27 julio 2024

We had a good first day w Irina. She had a good knowledge of the area and was good with the kids too. We enjoyed and were grateful and looking forward to the next day. Day 2, Irina had apparently suffered an accident, unfortunately. This effectively resulted in an unwillingness to do the job and zero initiative find an alternative solution for us, so we parted ways. Not very professional. Hopefully she gets better soon. One good day, one not so…

Elvira's love for her city, her region, and all of the local traditions are clearly evident. Her tour was action-packed, including detours to see rare festivals occurring concurrently. Conveniently, Elvira was able to pick us up at our hotel, and drop us off at the next stage of our visit. Proud, Knowledgeable, Genuine Local

(About local Federico)

17 abril 2024

Federico was kind and knowledgeable. However the content was very adult - architecture, Jewish persecution, fires, civil war. Our two boys were not that interested after 15minutes Maybe because the original guide cancelled and Federico stepped in, the content wasn't right. But hard to sayGreat guide. family tour not kid friendly

Thomas🇬🇧 United Kingdom

(About local Philippe)

13 abril 2024

Philippe made our trip. He is such a knowledgeable guide, giving not only my wife and I but our 9 & 13 y/o sons lots of fascinating facts about Barcelona's history as well as the Catalan culture. My 13 y/o son had Fideuà as per his suggestion and loved it. My 9 year old can't stop telling people the difference between Japanese & Chinese dragons - 3 or 5?!? We all enjoyed a cup of the best hot chocolate ever at Museu de la Xocolata too. Overall, Philippe kept us all thoroughly engaged throughout the whole tour. If you want to experience the best parts of Barcelona, get in touch with him 👍Amazing guide for an amazing city

(About local Marcel )

1 abril 2024

Marcel overall was a great tour guide for our family. Our Barcelona city tour overlapped with our Gothic tour in terms of places and Marcel was able to pivot and show us other things that we had not seen. He was engaging with her 7-year-old providing fun games and challenges for her along the way and some surprises which made it easy to keep her attention for the walking to her. We took a second trip and tour with him the following day to Montserrat monastery. Going with him made the overall journey very easy to find the train, we took 2 different methods of seeing the monitor including the ventricular 1 way and the cable car the other. His knowledge of Montserrat was great. He again kept her daughter engaged and was able to take many family pictures on both days. 1 key thing which we appreciated is Marcel does not talk incessantly. He allows a lot of downtime to observe and really was great to be with.Great City & Monserrat Tour

Federico, was great! He met us in the train station and helped guide us thru the city expertly and patiently. We had a group of 4 adults and 3 small children so it was quite the endeavor.

(About local Marcel )

1 septiembre 2023

We had Marcelo take our family of 5 (two adults, three kids) around the Gothic Quarter the day we arrived in Barcelona. He knew the ins and outs of the the old town and showed us things that we would not have found on our own or, even if we did stumble upon them, wouldn't know the significant. The kids were engaged and since the day was so hot, Marcelo was quick to help us pivot from the history of the town to the best churro and Gelato shops around. They were really good and we went back to each at least 3 more times during our time in Barcelona. Same for showing us the cool parrots at Park Cuitadella; never would have found it ourselves and we returned the next day. Would highly recommend Marcelo.Marcel great tour for family

Fiorella did a phenomenal job of keeping our kids (8 and 6) engaged with the history of Barcelona while also doing the same with the adults. If you have kids and want to know about what you are looking at while visiting the oldest parts of Barcelona, this tour with Fiorella is the best. Perfect tour for kids and adults

We met Marcelo on our first day in Barcelona on a very short visit. We wanted to see some of the hidden treasures of the city that the hop on hop off bus wouldn’t show us. Marcelo definitely delivered! We saw so many incredible little laneways and beautiful historical monuments. We had 3 hot and tired young kids in our group and Marcelo managed to help keep them motivated. Thanks for a great afternoon!Perfect way to feel the vibe of Barcelona!

My family of 12 visited Barcelona for the 1st time. Elvira was so kind and patient as our plans constantly evolved. We ended up with only 10 vs. 12, we had very vocal family members that insisted changes to our plan AFTER we met Elvira in Barcelona. She patiently listened to their requests, checked with me (I booked the trip) before making changes to the plan (AGAIN) to make folks happy. She has a deep knowledge of the city and its history and Elvira quickly navigated our big party across various part of Barcelona. She has a great personality and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!Awesome Barcelona Visit with Elvira

We were lucky to have Marcel as a guide. He was well prepared and knew a lot to tell about Barcelona, which we did not know already in an interesting way. The kids liked his explanations as well and time flew quickly. We got to know the “real Barca” through him and had a great time. We highly recommend Marcel as a guide for everyone who wants to see Barcelona not only from a tourist view. It feels like having a friend here..👍🏻Great walking tour

(About local Philippe)

1 noviembre 2022

Philippe was accommodating when we were running about 10 minutes late. He gave an informational tour and kept trying to stay engaging to the children we had in our group. He got us some very yummy churros and gave us plenty of information about Gaudí and we hunted for dragons around the city. However, he was rather snobbish and made some rather off putting comments. I think if he kept some of his opinions to himself it would have been a much better tour. Ok tour

(About local Marina)

24 octubre 2022

Marina was super friendly and enthusiastic about Barcelona sharing both tips of great places for ice cream (very important to our girls) to great tapas (for us). It was Marina’s first tour but she knew the city really well, we loved the many secret quiet spots she found. It would be good to tailor the tour more for younger children, the kids loved spotting all the animals and more ideas like this would keep littlies amused. The kids loved Marina, with our four year old taking her hand as we walked along and it was the best bit of our kids’ day walking with Marina. It’s definitely the most walking either of them had ever done and we had a brilliant night’s sleep because of it, thank you!Top tips from a local guide

We learned a lot on this tour and Alan easily managed to keep my kids (12 and 14 years) interested and motivated. Alan has a vast knowledge and provides very interesting connections from the past to the present life and how it might develop in the future. At the end we even extended the tour to discover more.Alan provided a lot of additional places to visit after the tour as well as restaurants and they all very good recommendations. To put it shortly we can highly recommend Alan. Great tour with Alan for the whole family
