I highly recommend the Gothic Quarter tour with A. Teo. She was so knowledgeable and friendly which made it an incredible experience. We appreciated her willingness to cater to our interests and her recommendation for dinner that evening. Overall, an excellent tour! Fantastic tour

Tao was very knowledgeable of the Gothic area and regaled us with stories of growing up in the area. I would highly recommend. Outstanding

We appreciated the fun, adaptability, and unique hidey-holes that showed us the layers of history. As a Catalan guide, her answers were direct and helpful. Plus, we got insider leads to all the good food spots! Enjoyable and informative!

Teo gave us a very informative tour of the gothic quarter. She took us into shops and explained the history/unique architecture of places the average tourist would walk by, and have no idea the historical significance or story of that spot is. This is the only type of tour you can get from a local, that really knows Barcelona. I would recommend doing this tour at the beginning of your trip, so you can return to places you saw on tour that you would like to spend more time at. Informative - not your typical tour!

We had a great time in Barcelona with A Teo. She taught us so much about the Gothic Quarter and history and showed us some unique spots we would never have found on our own. She is super friendly and gave us some more tips about other places to see and where to eat during our stay. Gothic Quarter Tour with A Teo

Teo was an amazing guide! She showed us so many sites in the gothic quarter that we 100% would have missed. She knows all of the hidden gems and is so knowledgeable about Barcelona’s history. Her energy was contagious and she was really mindful about the knee injury I’d suffered a week before our tour. 100% would recommend! Amazing!

Walking through Barcelona with Teo felt like we were wandering with a friend. We learned so much about the city but not in a way that was overwhelming. Lots of good stories and laughter and chocolates! Thank you!Loved our tour with A. Teo!!

Teo is such a special, creative, knowledgeable and kind soul. She showed me so many hidden gems around Barcelona that left me consistently speechless. She also pointed out all the best pastries and gelato stores once I told her my obsessions with desserts. Absolutely loved and cherished every moment with her. Thank you Teo. You were incredible 😘Left me Speechless <3

Great way to start our trip (and fight off some jetlag, fresh off the plane!). Fun, casual, super interesting, and different to the pre-planned routes that just get shepharded around through the usual tourist joints. Would recommend!!Fantastic intro!

Our guide was amazing. She was a wealth of knowledge and able to provide us with a rich history of the area. She tailored the tour to our interests and was able to provide a real local experience.

Our host was a great guide for the area of the Gothic quarter and Jewish quarter, with a wonderful grasp of the history from the Romans to today. My husband and I enjoyed the "backstory" on the various neighborhoods, houses, cathedrals, and castles we passed, with lots of opportunities to take photos. As this was a fantastic first experience with this type of city guide, I will definitely sign up again with other guides!First time with locals!

Informative, high-energy tour of the historic center of Barcelona. Teo showed us a number of hidden treasures in the Gothic Quarter that we would never have found on our own.

Hi Teo I just want to thank you for an excellent tour of Barcelona - we learnt so much about the areas we visited and saw things we would never have found if we hadn’t have been with - both bookshops with cafe and restaurant were one of our highlights. Thank you for being so considerate with my 80 year old mother - she truly enjoyed it. Can’t believe she tried a sea urchin in the food market! You are an excellent tour guide 10/10Grest experience

A. Teo was really kind to rearrange the date of our tour last minute because I was unwell. She was an informative and friendly guide who showed us some of the secrets of Barri Gotic and El Born, including great pastry shops. It wasn’t as indepth about the history of the city compared to other tours we’ve been on elsewhere, but we learnt about Catalan culture and had an enjoyable time. Interesting tour of the old town

We found Teo on the web. We told her in advance we were particularly interested in medieval and Judaic history in Barcelona. She took us into places we would never have found or known of. We wandered all over the medieval section of the city -- I would have been lost trying to see all the places she took us to. Her English and knowledge of history are excellent. I would recommend her as a guide.A perfect tour of medieval Barceloa

Thank you A, Teo for sharing your city and stories with us. The tour was very interesting and your experience and passion for the area came through. We saw, experienced, and learned about things that anormal walk would have never produced. Taking the time to guide us to our cooking school location that we would have never found was so appreciated. I would highly recommend a tour with A. Teo.Private tour of old Towne, Gothic Quarter

Our tour with Teo was wonderful! Teo is a warm and engaging tour guide and my husband and I both enjoyed her so much. She taught us quite a lot about Barcelona and pointed out many things which we had not realized. She clearly loves her city and she is a delight to talk to. Teo also made sure that we had several places to go to enjoy an authentic meal. She gave several suggestions and we were able to enjoy some of them with our limited time in the city. I have the list so we will look forward to trying the rest on our next visit. We highly recommend Teo to anyone who is visiting Barcelona! You are in excellent hands and she is a joy to spend time with. Thanks again Teo for a wonderful tour!!Wonderful Tour

Teo was a great tour guide. Her eccentric funny nature helped navigate the behind scenes area of the gothic quarter and el born neighborhoods. She would take us off the beaten path and into stores where you could see original ruins and artifacts of the city. She had great tapas recommendations and shopping suggestions.

Not only did Teo teach us about the Catalan culture and history, she showed us the inviting and loving nature of the Catalan people as she included our young children in each aspect of her tour. They were enthralled and quickly took her hand and asked questions at each stop. Teo is absolutely amazing and became part of our family for the tour, seamlessly transitioning from tour guide to friend from the very beginning. Highly recommend her for any tour.Teo is AMAZIMG!!!!!!!

Would recommend. Esp for new comers to Barcelona or history / architecture nerds. A. Teo. is incredibly well-informed, flexible, fun & funny, and is a seemingly bottomless font of Barcelona and Gothic Quarter knowledge, have grown up there. There is so much to discover, I regret not having the time to do it again and go deeper into her first-hand knowledge. Good for curious adults, good for teaching families with kids. Two thumbs up. Worth a Repeat Experience

Taylor🇪🇸 Spain

Lovely private tour with vast knowledge of Barcelona’s history and culture. Also, gave great dessert and dinner recommendations. I’ve been on many private tours before and A. Teo has truly out done herself!!! Highly recommend!!!

Luke🇺🇸 United States

12 March 2023

We had a wonderful time with Teo. She is fun and entertaining. More impressive is how professional, prepared and knowledgeable she is. It is clear the Teo has spent a lot of time researching the city and finding the best spots and information. My number one recommendation to anyone visiting Barcelona is to book some time with her. Teo is a Rock Star

Alycia🇬🇧 United Kingdom

10 March 2023

Being our first time in Barcelona we knew we wanted to do a tour to understand the history of the city and it was so nice to get it from a locals perspective. Teo gave so much colour to the tour around the gothic quarter pointing out things you’d normally just walk past. We also had the best churros in the city to fuel our adventure. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a city tour. Incredible experience

Argelia was AMAZING!! This truly did feel like we were with a friend showing us around. Argelia is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She knows everyone it seems and it felt like she was giving us special attention (even though I know she probably does this for everyone). Her personality is warm, funny and engaging. I’m so happy that we booked this tour. Do it! You won’t regret it! A. Teo - The Perfect Guide!

We did a private tour of the Gothic quarter in Barcelona with A. Teo and it was great. My husband and I are 74 and 71 years old and both use a walking cane. We loved this personalized tour that went at our speed and we could ask questions about things that interested us. She was very knowledgeable and spent extra time with us without extra charges. It was really enjoyable to be shown around by a "local" who really knew and understood the area.Great Personalized Tour
