I booked a tour of Sagrada Familia with Alessandro as a way to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday. It was his first time in Spain and I wanted to do something really special on the big day. I had never before scheduled a private tour without going through a hotel concierge so I wasn't sure what to expect, but am SO glad that I went this route and will definitely do so again in the future! Alessandro is kind, knowledgable, and passionate about history, art and culture. He made our time fun, interesting and incredibly memorable. I made a few requests in advance of our time together, and Alessandro was more than happy to oblige. He responded promptly to chat messages, we met him right on time, he got us past all the lines, handled the purchasing of our tickets in advance, and gave us tons of insight and information we would not have otherwise had. The process was smooth and everything was easy, which is just what you want when you're on vacation. The whole experience added such a lovely depth and richness to our visit to Sagrada Familia, and Barcelona overall, and made my husband's birthday all the more special and unique. If you are going to Barcelona and want a more in-depth experience, don't hesitate to schedule a tour with Alessandro, you will be SO glad that you did! Thank you, Alessandro, for such a wonderful experience - it was far beyond my hopes and expectations, and my husband was totally blown away as well. Muchas gracias and πολλά ευχαριστώ!Alessandro is a true gem!

Alessandro communicated well with me prior to the private tour for the eight of us. He was on time for the tour and navigated through the crowded lines to enter Sagrada Familia. He was so knowledgeable and provided valuable information throughout the tour. He took his time. His expertise led to such a personal experience for all of us. If you are planning a trip to Sagrada Familia, you MUST book with him! You will have the experience of a lifetime! Tour experience of a lifetime!

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 an amazing private tapas tour in Barcelona with Laura! From the start, she was incredibly accommodating—even adjusting our itinerary with no hassle, which made everything so easy and relaxed. Laura was not just a guide but felt like a good friend showing us around her city. Her friendly, down-to-earth personality made the evening so enjoyable, and we had such a great time exploring different spots and tasting incredible pinchos. Highly recommend booking a tour with her! Delicious, Easygoing — Thanks, Laura!

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

(About local Ellie)

24 June 2025

We booked a walking tour with Ellie pretty late the night before we wanted to meet with her for a tour. We sent her a couple of questions about the tour and was hoping she'd see the questions before we planned out the day prior to our meeting. She contacted us promptly the next morning, answered the questions and set up the meeting. She was very vigilant in making sure we were all together, had great, up-front views of the buildings, and were protected from some of the distractions around the city. Not only was her tour of Gaudi's architectures very in-depth but the way she weaved the back stories lent life and character to his works. Rather than seeing just a building, we saw Gaudi's emotion, dreams, and his reality in the works of art. After this tour, I have a much greater appreciation for Gaudi's work and life's work. Ellie was great in making sure all of our teen and pre-teenagers were included in the tour and could see what she was describing. Her knowledge of city of Barcelona, the Catalan culture, the rich history was remarkable and her unique point of view was refreshing. She took a genuine interest in our background so as to better be able to relate Gaudi's story in a way that we could better relate and understand. I would highly recommend a tour with Ellie. She has an admirable passion for her trade and is a library of wonderful knowledge. My only wish was that I could stay in Barcelona longer so that I could take other tours with Ellie. Until next time, thank you for the remarkable journey! Fantastic experience

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!

As a native Barcelonin, Carla has a unique love & appreciation for what she shares in her tours. This was evident as we toured Park Güell & Sagrada Familia. These places are visual wonders on their own, but with Carla’s knowledge & passion they became sumptuous feasts! I highly recommend Carla!Great tour guide!

We had a terrific three hours with Ellie - a local who was really easy company, fun and informed. She led us away from the crowds time after time, down side streets with fascinating stories to share. We packed lots in and came away with so much new knowledge about the city, the culture, the people. Big cities can be overwhelming when you’re a visitor, so time spent with a guide like Ellie really helps orient you and give you a true sense of where you are.The beauty of going off the beaten track

Having known about the Familia Sagrada all my life and then finally being there, we certainly were most fortunate in having Ellie for our family tour guide. Her deep and wide knowledge of the diverse aspects of the phases, timing, progress, purpose, meaning and numerous symbols of the exterior and interior architecture of the building made our visit intensely satisfying and rewarding.

My wife Carrie and I had a great tour with John. We had not been on a bike in years yet John seemed to be able to lead us through the hustle and bustle of Barcelona leading the way with ease. It was a truly leisurely and enjoyable tour. We had requested architecture and parks and we received that in abundance. John was always at hand to take some awesome photos, easy to talk too and insightful in his knowledge of the city. Topped off with some very good coffee in a local neighborhood, we could not have asked for more from our experience. Big thanks to John from us, Carrie and Hank! Leisurely and fun bike tour with John

We were joining a larger group tour 2 days after our arrival in Barcelona. We asked Alessandro to arrange a walking tour that would visit other areas of the city and not overlap the group tour itinerary. We also asked to arrange a day trip out of Barcelona. After providing our interests, we left the rest to him. He provided a suggested itinerary and reserved the entry tickets and train tickets ahead of time so that everything went smoothly His educational background in history was obvious. We could not have been more pleased with our 2 days with Alessandro! We highly recommend his services to others Great Guide!

She was warm and welcoming to us parents too, and our best photo from the trip (with all 5 of us!) came from one Ellie took during our tour. We highly recommend visiting Barcelona with Ellie. Lots of fun!Best start to the trip - a tour with Ellie

We liked our time with Laura. She was punctual and pleasant. We appreciated her flexibility during the planning stage and she was quick to respond and suggest tweaks to the plan. The actual “tour” was ok - she provided high level overview of various Gaudí buildings however the depth was lacking - we had higher expectations given her architectural background however she only provided very high level information which was somewhat disappointing. Overall if you are looking for a nice walk through Barcelona and high level overview of Gaudí and his creations Laura works be a good choice. If you are looking for an in depth dive into the architecture and architect - looks elsewhere. Good high level overview of Gaudi and city

I travelled to Barcelona with my husband and my 10-years son and I was looking for a tour guide who speaks Greek so that my son will understand better. I chose Vicky and she was very welcome to plan together a tour that would be interesting also for our son. I appreciated that a lot. The communication before we travel was easy and frequent and even when we met together, we were so happy that Vicky shared with us so much information about the history, the culture, the best places to visit and also the events. We are so happy we had this experience with Vicky because she knows so much about the city and its history. Very interesting experience!

Wir hatten eine bereichernde Zeit mit Elvira! Es fühlte sich an, als würden wir mit einer Freundin spazieren gehen. Völlig entspannt und mit vielen Einblicken in die katalanische Kultur, führte sie uns durch die charmanten Gassen der Viertel El Born und Gothic. Ein Highlight der Tour war der Besuch einer ursprünglichen Tapasbar, wo wir die lokale Küche genießen konnten. Leider ging die Zeit viel zu schnell vorbei. Elvira sendete uns auch nach der Tour weitere wertvolle Tipps, auch zu spanischer Musik, die ich liebe! Wir können Elvira sehr empfehlen. Kultur & Tapas: Tour mit Herz und Genuss!

We went wine tasting and to Montserrat with Elvira. It was a really cold day, but I can't blame that on Elvira. Despite the cold we had a lovely day. Good wine and interesting conversation with both Elvira and the young owner of the winery. The monastery was also nice, and I think we will come back on a warmer day. Elvira knows a lot and shares her knowledge in an inviting way as she is also clearly interested in what we said. Very interesting to hear about the history of Catalonia. The car was not really suited for elderly people After the trip Elvira sent suggestions for other excursions and recommendations for restaurants. Can only recommend Elvira

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!
