My husband and I flew in that morning and were excited to see the city with a local. Alan did not disappoint. He was so personable and knowledgeable, making everything extra extraordinary. I learned so much about Barcelona. Plus the tapas were out of this world. The chocolate shop was famous and we had it on our radar. This was money well spent! Job well done!!

My friends Deb, Jan, Dave, and I (Giovanni) had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable Unscripted Tour with Alan in Barcelona. From the start, it was clear that Alan’s knowledge and passion for the city went far beyond the typical tourist spots. One of the highlights was our stroll through La Rambla, where Alan guided us to an incredible food market that we would have never found on our own. He knew exactly where to get the best samples, making it an authentic culinary experience! As we explored the city, Alan’s explanations of Barcelona’s iconic architecture were nothing short of captivating. His insight into both well-known and hidden gems gave us a deeper appreciation of the city’s culture and history. The tour ended with an amazing treat—one of the best restaurants in Barcelona, where we enjoyed delicious tapas and the best gin & tonics we’ve ever had. It truly felt like we were locals, not just visitors. Thank you, Alan, for giving us such a personalized and enriching tour. We highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to see Barcelona through the eyes of a true local! This review captures your shared appreciation and highlights the best parts of the tour!
