Elvira provided us with a very informed and interesting tour, enabling us to immerse ourselves in the Catalan culture, history and cuisine that the city has to offer. With her extensive knowledge of Barcelona that Elvira was able to share with us, we got to really appreciate why this city is so special. Thank you Elvira. Barcelona’s Best

Antonio is a delightful guide. He pointed out so many sights on-the drive from Barcelona and in the small nation of Andorra. One unfortunate aspect - which was due to our choice and for which Antonio is not in the least responsible - was our need for a six passenger van. Three of us had to sit facing backwards and viewing was adverse, especially those in the center seats. Antonio was in the front (although he offered to sit in the back) and we had se difficulty hearing everything he talked about. Nevertheless, Antonio was very accommodating to personalize our interests. Andorra is beautiful

We had an incredible time with Sebastian. From the very beginning, he captivated us with his unique storytelling—describing Barcelona’s history as a lasagne, with layers upon layers waiting to be uncovered. And that’s exactly what he did: he peeled back each layer with insight, humor, and passion.
Sebastian’s deep knowledge of the city, combined with his engaging personality, made every stop feel special. Whether we were admiring iconic landmarks or stumbling upon tucked-away treasures, he brought each place to life with fascinating stories, histories and local perspectives.
This tour was very inspiring. We left with a richer understanding of Barcelona and a genuine appreciation for its culture and history. Highly recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable experience in this beautiful city!

We got on very well with him and the coordination in advance was very good and we got some tips for our trip.

While on our cruise, we realized we had 3.5 hours after we disembarked in Barcelona before we needed to check in for our flight. After an awesome Barcelona pre-cruise food tour with Vicky, we decided we wanted her to pick us up at the Cruise Port, see some more of Barcelona and then drop us off at the airport.
Vicky developed an itinerary with the cost, emailed it to me for approval and then she and the driver picked us up at the Cruise Port.
Another awesome tour of a wonderful city with a rich history, culture and food. We stopped and toured around the Olympic Village and walked along the beach. We stopped at a noted Paella restaurant for a very tasteful lunch.
After taking a post lunch walk and visiting two Chocolate stores, it was time to head to the airport.
Highly recommend that you engage Vicky in any tour that she leads! She has become family and we can’t wait to visit Barcelona again to have her show us more highlights.
Vicky made Barcelona memorable!Second Awesome Barcelona Tour with Vicky!

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

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 absolutely incredible experience touring Barcelona, thanks to our amazing guide Moisés. From start to finish, he was the perfect combination of knowledgeable, patient, and kind. What truly set this tour apart was his deep understanding of Barcelona’s rich architectural and cultural history.
While we were initially excited to learn about Gaudí, our guide went above and beyond by introducing us to other key figures in Catalan Modernism, including Lluís Domènech i Montaner and Josep Puig i Cadafalch. He gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s architecture and helped us see Barcelona in a completely new light.
Walking through the streets with him, we discovered hidden details and stories we completely missed on our own. His insights made the city come alive in ways we never expected. The highlight, of course, was the Sagrada Família — we were absolutely blown away not just by the grandeur of the building, but by the depth of knowledge he shared about the symbolism, structure, and design of its exterior.
This tour was easily one of the most enriching and memorable parts of our trip. We left with a newfound appreciation for Barcelona and its incredible history. Highly, highly recommended!An Unforgettable Experience in

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!

Vicky was super informative and very knowledgeable. She personalized our tour and pivoted when we got off schedule like a pro. 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.
Vicky was the gem and gave us very unique experience that we will cherish always!! Thank you and cheers !!! Highly recommend a tour with Vicky Family, Vicky, tapas and history

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

We loved the walking food tour with our guide. We were a family of 4, with an 11-year-old child. She made it fun and interesting for all of us. We learned about the history of Barcelona and saw some interesting things along the way to the restaurants, like a folk festival with dancing and a band, and a parade as well. The tapas we got to pick out at the restaurant were enough to count as a meal. The dessert we had at the restaurant next door was heavenly!Great food tour in Barcelona!

If you’re heading to Barcelona and want more than a cookie-cutter experience, Octavio is your guy. He worked closely with us to create a truly bespoke tour that hit all the right notes—exploring both the charm of the Old Town and the vibrant energy of El Born. What made the experience special wasn’t just the sights—it was how thoughtfully curated every stop felt, tailored perfectly to our interests and vibe.
Octavio comes armed with what can only be described as the ultimate insider’s list—a massive collection of everything you didn’t know you needed but absolutely do: hidden tapas gems, rooftops with unforgettable views (don’t miss this), stylish restaurants, the best paella spots, wine havens, artisan gelato, cozy cafés, buzzing bars, and even top-tier brunch recs. Every suggestion felt like a local secret shared with a friend.
And just when we thought the trip couldn’t get better, Octavio gave us incredible advice for a beach day in Sitges. It ended up being the highlight of our trip—a perfect, sun-soaked finale we’ll never forget.
We truly can’t recommend Octavio highly enough. He’s knowledgeable, caring, and a ton of fun to be around. Whether you’re a first-timer or a returning visitor, he’ll make you fall in love with Barcelona in a whole new way.Outstanding local guide with secrets!

We loved our local experience with Octavio! It felt like meeting up with an old friend for drinks and tapas. Octavio was very knowledgeable about the Barcelona, as well as the history of the city and Catalan culture. He also gave us several recommendations for the remainder of our trip -- late-night spots for drinks, brunch and cafe recs, and things to do in Tossa de Mar (where we were headed next). I highly recommend booking with Octavio early on in your trip so you can enjoy his recommendations throughout the remainder of your stay. Next time I'm in Barcelona, I know who I'll reach out to! 10/10 for Octavio.Perfect evening in Barcelona

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.

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
