Awesome Tour with Gonzalo

Gonzalo gave us a look inside Barcelona that we otherwise never would have been able to see. He was entertaining, fun Knowles le and really brought a lot of Barcelona's rich history to life. I highly recommend him for someone wanting to get an overview of the city and its deep history.

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.

Would do it again.

This was a family vacation. Philippe is very knowledgeable, informative and passionate about Catalunya. We received a great overview of the area and also learned about Three Kings day. He was at Green Bike well before the tour began and gave us his full attention. We appreciate Philippe coming out during the Spanish holiday! The bike tour allowed us to see a lot of Barcelona. We always felt safe under his direction and the city is set up for bicycling.

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.
