Alessandro was amazing! Catered the tour to our likes and was a wealth of knowledge on the history of the buildings and Spain itself. We learned so much history and even learned about and got to taste authentic local food and he took us to the oldest hat shop when he heard hats were a thing with us! I couldn’t have been happier with our experience! Totally recommend him! He was even patient with our jet lag!Awesome guide through Barcelona!

Alessandro gave us quite possibly the best tour we’ve ever had. His expert understanding of history provided excellent context to the city of Barcelona. He shared some of the city’s best kept secrets and had my teenage kids engrossed. I would highly recommend Alessandro as a guide for anyone visiting this magical city. Doing the tour at the beginning of your trip will set you up to make the most of Barcelona. A great tour with the best guide ever

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

A truly exceptional guide does more than lead a tour—they bring history and art to life, revealing the deeper stories behind every masterpiece. Alessandro exemplifies this. With his remarkable ability to synthesize historic movements and clearly explain their cultural impact, he provided us with a profound understanding of Barcelona’s treasures. From Park Güell to the Sagrada Família, he unveiled hidden details and revealed how various influences shaped these iconic works. He even took us to a breathtaking hospital complex—an architectural masterpiece often missed by other tours. He generously took the time to explain everything we saw and was incredibly kind and patient with all of our questions. We can’t recommend Alessandro highly enough!Bringing History To Life!
