Perfect Walking Tour of Barcelona
Our original tour guide canceled on us but Octavio jumped right in and saved the day! We only had a few hours in Barcelona and wanted to see as much as we could. Octavio showed us so many sites and gave us history lessons that included a wide knowledge of architecture styles of buildings/homes and monuments/art pieces. He showed us some of his favorite things as well. The churros with chocolate dipping sauce were sooo good! We ended it all with a glass of champagne and a really good restaurant recommendation. It was a perfect tour with a friendly face. So glad we squeezed this tour in to our tight schedule.

Lovely introduction to Barcelona
Maria met us in La Rambla and took us on a lovely walking tour of the area, introducing the history of the area as well as some fun facts and finds along the way. We had lot of fun and learned some local knowledge, and got some great recommendations for places to visit and restaurants to try (awesome Paella!). Thanks Maria and would highly recommend!

Wonderful Gaudi Tour
I’m so glad I picked Ivanna for the Gaudì Tour in Barcelona. She worked with me in advance to get the itinerary just right, and she made sure everyone in my family of 6 stayed engaged throughout the whole thing. She even made recommendations for things we should check out after the tour.
Ivanna was so knowledgeable and easy to get along with, it really made the experience wonderful. Highly recommend!
