I have been relying on professional guides for several years to travel. I have done dozens of activities with different agencies and I can say that Alan has proved to be the best guide I have encountered. From a professional point of view he was very attentive to my preferences by conducting the tours (3) in the manner most congenial to me and introducing me to typical places and local culture as I had asked him to do. He demonstrated in-depth knowledge in the many fields covered during all three activities conducted, generating a very interesting cultural exchange, facilitated by his open personality and friendliness. Absolutely recommended, especially for solo travelers.

Elvira made my first time and my first day in Barcelona a wonderful experience. After she learrned about my interests she adjusted the tour to my liking. She showed me the amazing Born district and provided insights of the culture and history. We had a little Snack in a beautiful hidden cafe. She have me plenty of tips for the next days. I can fully recommend Elvira!

Visiting the Arco de Triunfo and making a wish as I passed beneath the arco was an amazing ending to my tour. I tremendously enjoyed the cuisine at San Pedrito Restaurant. Touring the Mayor’s Office was very special also. All of this was under the excellent guidance of my amazing Tour Guide, Ivanna Pogorelsky. Ivanna’s conversational style was perfect for me and made the time spent exploring El Born quite memorable.

We met our local guide, Karla after we finished our tour of Familia Sagrada. We took a taxi to the El Born district and then started our walking tour. She showed us the area, talked about it, we took pictures and tried some local food and drink. She was very personable and fun, we had a great afternoon with her! I'd recommend doing this to anyone who wants to learn a bit more about Barcelona and walk to see the area.
