We had a wonderful outing this week with Antonio. It was like spending the day with a friend. He was determined to show us the best views and points of interest at Montserrat. It turned out to be a slightly cool and cloudy day, making for an even more interesting backdrop- and comfortable touring weather. Not only was Antonio knowledgeable and informative about the sites, but he was patient and attentive as we browsed the amazing food vendors and gift shops as well. He took us into a village on our way back, to a quaint little restaurant where we all had lunch together. It was an amazing way to spend the day.
I loved that Philippe asked my kids tons of questions regarding their knowledge of dragons and history of the area. They weren’t just talked at, they were engaged through our whole tour. They (and I!) learned a ton and really enjoyed our journey with him through the city. Kids named each dragon we found and even got churros along the way! Thank you so much, Philippe!
We had a lovely afternoon getting to know Barcelona old town area. Muriel provided a great deal of information and showed us clearly around the areas. She showed us maps and other documents that helped give us a perspective of the city and what we were seeing. Thank you we had a great time!
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!
