We have had wonderful experiences with several WithLocals guides around the world and Sebastian did not disappoint. A perfect evening of visiting several small pubs mixed with just the right amount of interesting historical facts as we walked through the city. We love Barcelona - it's a favorite city and we are already planning our return trip and hopefully, a second visit with Sebastian! We have to hear how his Netflix movie turned out!Don't hesitate - book with Sebastian

My friend and I, mothers of 4 each, escaped home for three days in Barcelona!!! the evening with Sebastian was one of the highlights of our trip. Sebastian was funny and knowledgeable, and open for adjustments according to our taste desire and will.
It was our request to meet at 19:30 but we recommend to start the evening much later only after having dinner since most of the places come to life much later in the evening, and also better do the drinking tour on a fuul stomach ;)Great evening with Sebastian!

I can’t say enough good things about Elvira. She was welcoming and friendly from the beginning. Messaged with me a few times to really custom tailor my evening nightlife and drink tour. She was a terrific guide, knowing pretty much something about every nook and corner we explored. And best of all, she fit in almost immediately as If I’ve known her for years, she really does have that good a friendly vibe and it’s wonderful! Highly recommended she’s an A+ guide and I’ll definitely book her again next time I’m in town! What an amazing person and guide

Elvira is fun, friendly and enthusiastic about being a tour guide. She was born and raised in Barcelona, and you can tell by her knowledge of the area and history. She took us to some off the beaten track places to get some delicious local cocktails and hang out at some very friendly and welcoming local bars. She asks a lot of questions so she can tailor the tour to your areas of interest taste.
I would highly recommend booking a tour with Elvira if you are looking for someone who really knows Barcelona and its history and is just a lot of fun to hang out with. We will definitely be looking her up again when we come back to Barcelona!!!Wonderful and fun filled evening with Elvira!!!

We had a great tour with Lusi. She truly loves Barcelona and will make you love it too. Not only did she take us to cool bars and give good drink recommendations, she took the time to show us hidden gems of the city and answered any questions we had about the life and culture of the city. After the tour, she even showed us a place to eat dinner and recommended what we should order there. Book with Lusi; you will not be disappointed!!Fun Night Out

Lusi is a force of nature and she enjoys her job. She went the extra mile. Lusi did a bar tour for us but she doesn’t really drink so the places she took us aren’t really her personal haunts. It was nice having her to ourselves but we wouldn’t have minded the dynamic of another couple of tourists on the tour with us. I believe she can talk to anyone so anyone could be assured she will be an enthusiastic host.Force of nature

Karina tour provided our first ever taste of Barcelona “Vermouth” (not the American vermouth we are used to), and a red Cavo at a bar that was soooo crowded, but a fun experience we would not have had without going on a locals tour. To us this was what these type of adventures were designed to provide! A Quick Snapshot on Nightlife in Barcelona

She offered:
- a drinks making class - Never happened.
- a visit to Picasso's favorite bar for absinthe - never happened.
-visit to oldest bar in Barcelona - never happened.
Instead £70 got me and my partner a trip to a rock bar for a bottle of Heineken, a trip to her friends bar where she met up with her friends and we were given a quick shot of something not explained, and then lied to about the Picasso absinthe bar, where we were told it was hours away and so instead taken to a bar for a shandy.
All the while, she didn't include any historical information. More so information about herself and her experiences living in Barcelona since moving from Romania / Germany.
Oh and she doesn't even drink so obviously knew next to nothing about alcoholic drinks, which the tour was for!Awful

We had a great night with Sebastian, it was like being with an old friend. He instantly put everyone at ease, there was never a lull in the conversation. Sebastian took us to 3 interesting places that definitely seemed to be places frequented by locals. He was full of information about every aspect of Barcelona and answered any questions we had. Thanks, Sebastian, for adding a truly personal experience to our Barcelona vacation.A Night With A Friend

I'm so glad I had the opportunity to meet with Sebastian! I had the opportunity to view Barcelona 'behind the scenes' as a local! Sebastian was very knowledgeable on the historical context of the places he showed me. I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my night time tour with him. I'm very glad I met Sebastian and learned a great deal. I would highly recommend him as a guide! Thank you! Great drinks & view of Barcelona!

Lusi is warm, energetic, fun and interesting. On a recent mother/daughter vacation, Lusi escorted us through Barcelona to experience a fun mix of drinks and hangouts in the local area. She also gave us some tips on navigating the city as tourists and we enjoyed learning about her and the city she loves. It didn't take long before it felt like 3 old friends enjoying a night out together. I will definitely look for Lusi on my next trip to Barcelona for some more fun adventures exploring the city and nearby areas!!Lusi is a wonderful host!

My wife and I only had a few days in Barcelona so we chose Karina to show us around! She was kind enough to meet us at Sagrada Famila and change up the original tour a bit so we could make the most of our time in Barcelona! Karina has a fun personality and was knowledgeable about the areas we visited. They say, timing was everything, as luck would have it, we just happened to walk into a neighborhood courtyard area where a celebration was taking place! We were front row to a drumline display as well as small fireworks show and a bonfire!! After that, we enjoyed some tapas and a few beers at a quaint restaurant, then Karina walked us all the way back to our hotel, showing us some Gaudi works along the way! Needless to say, We had a great time, learned a lot! Thank you to Karina, we had an unforgetable time! Don't hesitate to book a tour with her! She is awesome!Fantastic tour with Karina!

I initially booked a different date, needed to reschedule and Karina was able to accommodate us by meeting up the same day, no questions asked. Vibrant, flexible, and all smiles, yet totally in charge of our group of 7. I liked her immediately. Sometimes things work for you. Karina has a wonderful ability to let the night transpire, give a group room to breathe, to change direction, to show a Barcelona that will delight and surprise you. When you get home from vacation, as you sort your memories of Barcelona, and it takes a long time to return to reality, you will remember Karina went beyond the beyond. Then you will ask your friends and yourself, when are we going back???Beyond the beyond

Our original tour guide canceled on us but Octavio jumped right in and saved the day! We only had a few hours in Barcelona and wanted to see as much as we could. Octavio showed us so many sites and gave us history lessons that included a wide knowledge of architecture styles of buildings/homes and monuments/art pieces. He showed us some of his favorite things as well. The churros with chocolate dipping sauce were sooo good! We ended it all with a glass of champagne and a really good restaurant recommendation. It was a perfect tour with a friendly face. So glad we squeezed this tour in to our tight schedule. Perfect Walking Tour of Barcelona

Lars provided an absolutely outstanding introduction to Barcelona. Though our tour focused initially on Gaudi, Lars proved to be extremely knowledgeable about many other aspects of Catalan history and culture. He kept two curious adults and two teenagers (!!) throughly engaged for hours. Would highly recommend him!Thanks Lars!!

We toured Barcelona with Octavio in July ‘25. We did a 3 hour walking tour and it was great. He took us beyond the main sites and provided great insight and explanations.
We had two teenage boys and the brief was to keep it high energy and entertaining. Octavio did this - interesting stories, food markets and a detour to the best Churros in town!
He left us with a heap of restaurant, bar and ice cream recommendations, so we benefitted from his guiding for several days thereafter.
A great experience, would highly recommend.Great interactive tour

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

Lars was was a superb guide, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Gave us a tour of the Gothic quarter with excellent food tastings. Even got a good review from our usually grumpy teenage son, to put things in perspective this means it was his highlight of Barcelona! Expected a few nibbles but we had quality food, from places we'd never have picked out. 1000x better than a group tour or wondering around on your own. Book Lars, strong recommend!Great value culinary tour

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!

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.
