I booked a tour of Sagrada Familia with Alessandro as a way to celebrate my husband's 65th birthday. It was his first time in Spain and I wanted to do something really special on the big day. I had never before scheduled a private tour without going through a hotel concierge so I wasn't sure what to expect, but am SO glad that I went this route and will definitely do so again in the future! Alessandro is kind, knowledgable, and passionate about history, art and culture. He made our time fun, interesting and incredibly memorable. I made a few requests in advance of our time together, and Alessandro was more than happy to oblige. He responded promptly to chat messages, we met him right on time, he got us past all the lines, handled the purchasing of our tickets in advance, and gave us tons of insight and information we would not have otherwise had. The process was smooth and everything was easy, which is just what you want when you're on vacation. The whole experience added such a lovely depth and richness to our visit to Sagrada Familia, and Barcelona overall, and made my husband's birthday all the more special and unique. If you are going to Barcelona and want a more in-depth experience, don't hesitate to schedule a tour with Alessandro, you will be SO glad that you did! Thank you, Alessandro, for such a wonderful experience - it was far beyond my hopes and expectations, and my husband was totally blown away as well. Muchas gracias and πολλά ευχαριστώ!Alessandro is a true gem!

Alessandro communicated well with me prior to the private tour for the eight of us. He was on time for the tour and navigated through the crowded lines to enter Sagrada Familia. He was so knowledgeable and provided valuable information throughout the tour. He took his time. His expertise led to such a personal experience for all of us. If you are planning a trip to Sagrada Familia, you MUST book with him! You will have the experience of a lifetime! Tour experience of a lifetime!

Alessandro is passionate about his adopted city. He told us fascinating stories about how Gaudi worked and showed us beautiful buildings as well as describing the history and people who built them. A fabulous experience that really enriched our trip to Catalunya. A wonderful experience

Alessandro was a stellar guide. He has the rare ability to be both approachable and knowledgeable while also reading just how much information you want conveyed. We'll be booking him again when we return to Barcelona. Wonderful tour with the ideal guide

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!
