It was an absolute pleasure to be hosted by Ellie for our Gaudi historical tour-she is extremely knowledgeable in this subject and supplements the history with numerous amusing anecdotes-she is unhurried and clear in her delivery and the tour was well planned and dealt with all aspects contained on the itinerary. Highly recommended.Excellent experience

We (4 adults) spent the morning with Ellie. She did an excellent job of explaining the history of Gaudi to us and showing us the many examples of his work. We also went to Park Guell. The best part was her knowledge of the exterior of the Sagurda Familia! She really made the entire project make sense to all of us. Would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.Great guide!

Our family of 6 really loved our tour with Ellie. She kept all four of our children engaged and helped Gaudi's architecture come alive with her explanations. I cannot imagine a better tour to get acquainted with Barcelona. Ellie also provided other great recommendations for our group.Excellent Tour!

We did Ellie's walking tour that gave an overview of Gaudi, Casa Batllo, Casa Mila, Sagrada Familia and ended with us going into Park Guell. We chose to do this the day before we did interior tours of these places and are SO glad we did. Because Ellie is so warm, personable and knowledgeable, we were fully prepared and enjoyed our interior tours the next day more than we would have. We cannot recommend Ellie enough! Thank you Ellie.Great walking tour!

The explanations to everything were so well though out. This was my third tour and the majority of the details said were new to me, great experience. I have one thing to say, I have no issue with having the tour in english since I’m bilingual, but I put spanish in the tour language and didn’t get which is fine, but would’ve liked it in spanish.Excellent tour

Our family of 5 really enjoyed this Gaudi tour. She shared great info infused with general history of Barcelona and kept us enthralled the entire tour. We were also able to adjust the tour a bit to add the interior of Sagrada Familia and she showed us an amazing chocolate shop that we went back to later that afternoon for traditional drinking chocolate and souvenirs to bring home. The walking was just the right amount! Thank you Elllie for a great experience! Great Gaudi highlights tour!

Wir hatten 4 Stunden eine wirklich kurzweilige Führung von Ellie. Sie hat uns spannende Details aus dem Werk und Leben von Gaudi erzählt und das bei erschwerten Bedingungen, denn wir hatten einen der wenigen Regentage in Barcelona erwischt. Den haben wir Dank Ellie ganz vergessen. Ihre Empfehlung für das Dinner war ebenfalls super!Kurzweilige, spannende Führung von Ellie

Our tour with Ellie was great! She was very knowledgeable and accommodating. She took us all around Barcelona to Gaudi’s sights and she changed up the schedule a bit so we could end at the Sagrada Familia for our tour inside. I would highly recommend Ellie if you are ever in Barcelona.

Ellie was absolutely fantastic! She showed us around the city like a native and frankly probably knew a lot more about Barcelona than most people who were born in this beautiful city! Her knowledge was infectious! Our teenage kids enjoyed the tour just as much as my wife & I did and walking around the city was the best way to experience this rich and vibrant city. Thank you so much Ellie!!😀🙏😀Ellie is a must if you visit Barcelona!!

Theresa🇺🇸 United States

20 November 2019

Ellie was a delightful find for my friend’s and my first trip to Barcelona. She is enthusiastic and super knowledgeable about her beloved adopted country. Without ever once referring to notes (as many tour guides do), she shared very relatable facts with us. What most impressed us was that she intuitively grasped what we were interested in, and focused on those interests. More awesome than we could have dreamed of!

Edward🇬🇧 United Kingdom

We had a great walking tour with Ellie. She speaks perfect English and is very knowledgeable about Barcelona and Gaudi. We weren’t in a hurry but everything was timed to perfection finishing up at Park Guell. She also gave us some helpful advice for the following days on our visit, which have worked out very nicely. We would thoroughly recommend. A perfect introduction to Gaudi and Barcelona

We booked a tour with Ellie and the 4hours with her were definitely the highlight of our stay in Barcelona. With her international background and studies in tourism, Ellie is very knowledgeable and managed to balance historical facts, fun stories and culinary recommendations. Especially our three kids (15, 12 and 9 years old) were captured by her stories. We can definitely recommend Ellie! Barcelona Highlight

We were staying in Sitges with a group of my coworkers for a few days and only spent one day in Barcelona. This was our first trip to Spain and of course to Barcelona as well. I have read about Gaudi and his work and always wanted to see it. We wanted to make the most of this one day in Barcelona so we decided to find a guide to help us do that. After exploring the internet we decided to book a tour with Ellie and that was a good decision, the Park Guell & Gaudi's Finest tour was great and Ellie is wonderful. She is very knowledgeable about Gaudi and also about the culture and history of Barcelona. We agreed that this tour was the highlight of our trip to Spain and it made us want to go back and see more which we will definitely do. We would highly recommend a tour with Ellie to anyone going to Barcelona. Thank you Ellie, you rock!The highlight of our trip

1 October 2019

It was our first trip to Barcelona, and we were hoping to find someone who could help us experience the best of Barcelona. Also, having never used Withlocals before, we were a little hesitant but so very glad we decided to go for it. Ellie was wonderful. Not only was she very personable (I just love her), she was also so very knowledable about Barcelona. She took us to all the sites we wanted to see, and we learned so much from Ellie. I do not and would not ever hesitate to recommend her 150% (or more)!! If we ever get the opportunity to return to Barcelona, she will be the first person I call! If you are planning a trip there, by all means, reach out to Ellie -- she's the BEST!!!!! ELLIE WAS AMAZING!!!!

My tour with Ellie was the highlight of my trip to Spain! From the moment we met, it felt like we were old friends hanging out for the afternoon. Ellie has the most amazing insight and knowledge into the history and background of not only Gaudi (which the tour revolved around), but the entire city and culture of Barcelona. Such an amazing experience and something that I will remember for years to come. Would book again in an instant!An Unforgettable Experience

My family of four, did two separate tours on two consecutive days. My daughter is 9 years old, and my son is 13. Our whole family felt we learnt so very much from Ellie. Her depth of knowledge is unbelievable. However, she breaks it down and makes it very interesting for all ages. Our family will look back fondly on the time spent with Ellie, as she deserves the highest praise possible. You won't regret booking a tour with Ellie. Time and money well spent

Am absolutely pleased and wealth of knowledge. My family all enjoyed our interaction with Ellie. She knew the history, some behind the scenes info, and took us places to see architectural highlights my wife and I did not see the last time we toured Barcelona. I highly recommend Ellie, and we hope she is still available when we come back to see the finish of La Sagrada Familia. We would use Ellie for every visit!

Ellie did a great job on a very rainy day in Barcelona! She provided a lot of information on Gaudi and his history. Also shared her knowledge of Barcelona culture and provided tips on how to get the most out of our visit.

Robert🇺🇸 United States

12 May 2019

Ellie was amazing from the start. She Arrived right on time at our meeting location and it was like we were old friends. She described Barcelona fantastic, and gave us the history of Catalonia. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. It was like Ellie, my wife, and myself were three friends experiencing Gaudi for the first time, except Ellie was a professor. She showed passion in the things that mattered to us, and great knowledge as well. We never once felt like we were rushed. Even though we had skip the line tickets to Sagrada Familia, and Park Guell. The Gaudi sights are out of this world amazing. A must see on your trip to Barcelona, and I could not recommend anyone above Ellie for your tour. She is worth every penny and more. I can go on and on, but trust me, book this tour with Ellie. You will not be disappointed.Greatest Guide We Have Had

Don’t hesitate for one bit. Me and my mother-in-law (75 yrs and walking with a cane) did the 4-hr tour and it was beyond expectations. Ellie is so knowledgeable and really uses storytelling while smoothly guiding you through the streets of Barcelona. She takes into consideration your needs, in our case slow walking and my urge for coffee breaks 😉. Highly recommend her! Book Ellie!
