We really enjoyed our tour with Ilona. She was warm, knowledgeable, and brought so much local history into the food experience that it felt like we were getting two tours in one. We appreciated her help in cutting through the tourist traps and introducing us to dishes and spots we wouldn’t have tried on our own. It was a relaxed and engaging way to explore the city and its food culture: we came away full, happy, and more knowledgeable about Barcelona. We’re also very grateful that Ilona was able to accommodate us, after our flight was delayed and we arrived late. We did this tour at the beginning of our trip and felt much more equipped to enjoy the rest of our stay in the city.Two tours in one — food and local insight

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 expected more. Ilona was really very,very friendly But unfortunately the tour was a little bit uninspired and boring. She told us facts from the travel guide and unfortunately didn’t really inspire us with hidden secrets from Barcelona. To be honest 200 Euros is a bit much for that.Disappointing

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!

Ilona was very knowledgeable about Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, and she definitely pointed out things we wouldn't have seen without her. She introduced us to Patisserie Hafmann which was incredible! Ilona worked hard to accommodate our schedule after I made a mistake initially, and she responded nicely to all my communications.

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!

From the moment we made contact Ilona she did absolutely everything possible to make our tour comfortable, enjoyable and informative. She went above and beyond to prepare us for our time together and really listened to our needs in setting up the experience. If you are looking for a Barcelona guide who knows her stuff and you will actually enjoy hanging out with - someone who can go deep, or keep it fun and fascinating - look no further!Way beyond expectations!

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!

It was such a wonderful experience with Ilona. We tasted amazing food and learned so much history along the way. We even returned to one of the restaurants later on during our trip! This was the day of the big blackout and, even with that, she made the very best of it and took us to spots we would not have seen otherwise.

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!

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!

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!
