Our family of four enjoyed spending the afternoon with Maria. She shared with us the history of Barcelona as we tried a few of the local delicacies. Great way to get a bit of culture and explore a new area. Awesome slice of Barcelona History

Maria was an excellent host. She was very knowledgeable, kind and easy to talk to. She showed us parts of Barcelona we wouldn’t have visited otherwise and also gave us good tips for the rest of our holiday. We can highly recommend her tour! Fantastic food & company

Our time with Maria was excellent. She took us around both old and new Barcelona and gave us a good overview of the city knowing we only had the one day there. She gave us a lot of history and legend and definitely piqued our interest to come back and spend more time in this beautiful city. A lovely overview of Barcelona

We were lucky enough to spend time with Maria in Barcelona last week. We had a great time and learnt so much about Barcelona and the history of the city. We stopped for amazing churros too. Maria also gave us a food guide for the city which we used several times during our stay. Muchas Gracias Maria! The Rodgers FamilyBeautiful Barcelona

We really enjoyed our tour with Maria. She gave us a brief history of Barcelona and its neighborhoods. And she took us to great places to taste Catalonia food. She also gave us recommendations for other places to eat. It's obvious that Maria loves introducing people to Catalonia food!Great tour

My family and I enjoyed every second of our market food tour with Maria! She began our tour with a short history lesson of Barcelona’s beginnings and its unique “neighborhoods”. Maria is friendly, energetic and about of fun to be around. We sampled delicious food at each stop and truly enjoyed experiencing Barcelona through Maria’s eyes. She is a real treasure!A Barcelona Treasure
