Awesome tour

Sebastian was a great guide. My first trip to Barcelona and he was able to condense 2200 years of history into a three hour tour. Very informative and entertaining. I would highly recommend him to anyone that wants a great experience.

Sebastian was very knowledgeable and informative. We had booked the Treasures of Barcelona: Gaudi tour but had seen the Gaudi buildings the previous day. Sebastian pivoted to giving us a tour of the Gothic area which was phenomenal! We will book him again the next time we’re in Barcelona.

Enthusiastic and a wealth of knowledge!

Sebastian was an amazing guide—warm, friendly, funny. He seemed to have a bottomless source of facts, pictures, and stories about Barcelona and its rich history and beautiful architecture that really brought it all to life for my daughter and myself. And when we find our way back here, we certainly hope to work with him again! Do not miss!
