(About local Federico)

16 February 2025

Three hours of history, art, economy and daily life notions. Time just flew in a blink of eyes. Federico was a very thoughtful pleasant guide, leading us through the treasuries of the narrow alleys of Barcelona. It was not our first time in Barcelona, but this time we could discover some hidden spots never seen before! Thanks Federico! See you next time! A pleasant and interesting stroll

Io e mio marito, siamo rimasti davvero molto soddisfatti della visita guidata con Federico, oltre ad essere stato molto professionale è stato molto disponibile, ci ha proposto diverse soluzioni con il tempo che avevamo a disposizione, ci ha raccontato un pò di storia sulle nascita della città di Barcellona e ci ha raccontato aneddoti che non avremmo mai imparato, è un’esperienza che ripeterei , e se tornerò a Barcellona, riprenderò questa guida per visitare quello che non sono riuscita a vedere in questa occasione, Grazie ancora Federico!!Un’esperienza supe positiva!!!!

We took the Barcelona walking tour with Ilona as a group of 4. Illona was engaging and made the subjects interesting, pointing out many sights which we could have just walked past otherwise. We discussed all aspects of history and modern life of the region which gave us great insight into life in Barcleona. Engaging and interesting

(About local Federico)

26 October 2024

We loved our first tour with Federico so much that we booked a second private tour a few days afterwards. The second tour was just as amazing, fun and the three hours flew by so quickly. Federico was super kind and considerate of our group (my sister, mom and myself) and making sure all of us saw everything we wanted and answered all our questions very thoughtfully. I never would have learned so much about Barcelona without an amazing guide like Federico. We are all so happy with the experience and would highly encourage anyone to book this tour and guide as well.Federico Made it Such a Great Experience

(About local Federico)

25 October 2024

My sister, mother and I were in Barcelona for a few days and I am so happy and thankful we found Federico on here and booked a private tour. He was so knowledgeable, engaging and the three hours flew by! He had a ton of great ideas of what to show us and also asked for our thoughts and tailored the day as we progressed. If you want to find a guide who is extremely knowledgeable, considerate and fun to spend a few hours he is your guide for sure. Lastly, our group was of various ages and aptitude for history/tours. He did a terrific job of making sure everyone felt included and and part of the day, all three of us raved about this being such an amazing experience and we walked away with such a better appreciation for the history and modern day Barcelona.Terrific Guide and All Around Experience!

21 October 2024

Alessandro gave my spouse and I an unforgettable 4-hour tour of Barcelona, guiding us through areas such as El Raval and the Gothic Quarter. His deep knowledge of art, history, archaeology, and culinary arts made the experience incredibly enriching. We explored landmarks like Plaça del Rei, MUHBA Temple d'August, and admired Gaudí's architecture at Palau Güell and Casa Batlló. Alessandro's passion brought the city’s history to life, and his recommendation to try tapas at La Boqueria Market was a highlight! We highly recommend his tour for anyone wanting an insightful and immersive Barcelona experience.Highly Recommend in Barcelona

Lusi ist eine super herzliche, motivierte und sympathische Stadtführerin, sie hat uns die Ecken der Stadt gezeigt, die man in keinem Reisefüher findet.

Elvira was a very warm and energetic guide. We had a great few hours walking around Barcelona where she shared history and traditions of the city and its people.

(About local Bianca)

6 October 2024

We have explored the Gothic quarter and El Born with Bianca. We spent 3 lovely hours during which we were informered extensively on the history and architecture in both quarters. Bianca (with a background in architecture) knows all details of every tiny spot. She is a humerous person with a great knowledge on history and architecture, but also Spanish and Catalan culture. She brought some great tools such as a city map and Ipad to deepen her stories even more and provide further context. Last but not least she arranged a great lunch spot for us, one of her favorites in town. We had lovely tapas and sangria there, one of the best we had during our trip. We would highly recommend Bianca as a host!Wonderful and knowleagable guide!

(About local Lluis)

28 September 2024

My husband and I went on a Barcelona city walking tour with Lluis. He said we could personalize our tour, but since it was our first time and our first day in Barcelona we didn’t have enough knowledge of the city to know which sites to see first. He didn’t have a plan and seemed hesitant to propose a plan - but we insisted so he finally did. At most of the sites we visited he provided some history, but as mentioned by another reviewer in July, it all seemed focused on the oppression of Catalonia at the hands of the central government. Sometimes the history was very relevant, but this theme and his political views kept coming up over and over again. While we are very sympathetic to the horrible treatment of the Catalan people historically, his negative attitude and unplanned approach to this tour made it a poor experience for us. We would not recommend Lluis if you are looking for an unbiased view of the history and important sites of Barcelona. City Walking Tour with Lluis

We were so fortunate to have Lounis as our private, local guide for Barcelona. This personable, knowledgeable young man loves his job! Being a little older, we were apprehensive about what we might be capable of doing and what we would have time for, so we gave Lounis general guidelines such as wanting to know about the architcture, see some of the MUST SEES but not x,y,z, etc. He was even able to change the time of our gettogether to accomodate our jet lag.

(About local Lusi)

25 September 2024

Wir, die „Reisetruppe Detlef Leuschner' verbrachten am 16.09.24 ein paar erlebnisreiche Stunden mit Lusi. Ihre fröhliche und humorvolle Art nahm uns sofort ein und es begann ein sehr abwechslungsreicher, informativer Stadtrundgang. Es ging zielstrebig durch enge Gassen in wunderschöne kleine Lädchen, die wir allein niemals gefunden hätten. Die Säulen des EL TEMPLE D'AUGUST oder das Jüdische Bad ließen uns staunen. Überall hatte Lusi viel Wissenswertes zu berichten. Sie ging auf unsere Wünsche ein, warnte uns immer wieder vor Taschendieben und ließ sogar weihnachtliche Stimmung beim Besuch eines Ladens mit unwahrscheinlich viel Weihnachtsdeko aufkommen. Lebensfroh und auch ein bisschen verrückt zeigte Lusi uns viele kleine Ecken von Barcelona die wir ohne ihre Führung nie hätten kennengelernt. Vielen Dank und vielleicht bis in ein paar Jahren sagen wir alle noch mal DANKE! Die Leuschnertruppe PS: Selbst bei einem zufälligen Treffen in der City half uns Luci mit einer super Wegebeschreibung Barcelona mit Lusi

Elvira was absolutely amazing. We had a tour of Parc Guell and Elvira made it interesting for both myself and my 3 children. Knowing that we had a short stay, she then told us on the subway and gave us a tour of the gothic quarter which was fascinating and would have been something we would have missed if Elvira hadn't guided us there. So amazing and fulfilled all of our requests whilst being friendly and getting the children involved and interested.Fantastic and personal experience

(About local Liliia )

12 September 2024

Liliia is a superb guide. I had some specific requests regarding sights to see, and she actually took the time to research what I was interested in and came to the tour prepared to discuss these items in detail. She certainly knows all the traditional main attractions that everyone wants to see, but having been to Barcelona several times, I wanted some behind-the-scenes unusual flavor. Liliia exceeded my expectations. She's very smart and has detailed knowledge regarding the city. Having taken several tours of Barcelona over the years, I can say I learned more new things on this tour than any other. A+++ A truly exceptional guide.

What an AMAZING tour of Barcelona! Not only was Elvira knowledgeable and friendly, but also so accommodating to me and my family that included 3 annoying kids! She made it fun, educational and interesting. We got to experience Barcelona through her eyes and she took us to places that we wouldn’t be able to go or know about if it wasn’t because of her. We were hanging out with the locals! After two days of touring, it was hard to say goodbye. Thank you Elvira for making it magical and for the great memories that will last a lifetime!The perfect tour!

We arrived in Barcelona 2 days prior to a cruise. After catching up on some sleep we had nothing booked for exploring Barcelona the following day. We are so happy we came across Lounis!! He tailored a tour to our requests and went above and beyond to show us some hidden treasures around Barcelona. I highly recommend Lounis to anyone who wants to see Barcelona in a private, more intimate way. A One of a Kind Experience

(About local Federico)

10 July 2024

Federico was a great guide. We had a varied group, 84 year olds with difficulty walking all the way to a 12 year old that had never been to Barcelona and was eager to see the city. Federico did a wonderful job taking us to enough rest stops so that it was comfortable for the older guests while all the while explaining the history of the city and pointing out special places mainting the young guest completely entertained. Highly recommended! Excellent overview of Barcelona

(About local Lounis)

10 July 2024

Lounis has a warm and welcoming manner and was perfect as a walking companion. He took us to various neighbourhoods, local markets, squares and parks, explaining about the diverse history and culture of Barcelona. Our apartment happened to be directly across from one of Gaudi’s early works, Casa Calvet, and Lounis started our tour here. We would never had known! We sampled great churros, he pointed out various restaurants and cafes worth trying and things to do during our visit. Overall an excellent tour for our family of 5 (with 3 teens/older children). Great tour of Barcelona

Bruce🇺🇸 United States

(About local Lluis)

5 July 2024

We booked Lluis for a city tour. He was a few minutes late to meet us, which was not a big deal. He was eager to tell us we could personalize our tour, but we did not have enough knowledge of the city to have much of an opinion. We did want to get some history and architecture, but he told us that much of the architecture was too far to walk to. At most of the stops there was some history, but it all seemed focused on the oppression of Catalonia at the hands of the central government. At times that was actually relevant, but often it just felt like complaining. For example, he took us to Plaça Reial which is lovely. And then told us that it was built as a gift from the Spanish government, but everyone in Barcelona hates it because it was built in the style of a Madrid plaza. To his credit, his historical background for The Palau de la Música Catalana was superb. I would highly recommend visiting that with him. Friendly and knowledgable, but not great
