What travelers think of this experience

Rosalie, Feb 2025

Pau was incredibly knowledgable and friendly. We covered so much in 2 hours. We appreciated that Pau met us at our hotel with very little notice after something came up with our original guide.

Lisa, Dec 2024

Ellen is a warm, gracious, and knowledgeable host. The barrio we chose to tour is Sants where we had delicious bites throughout the neighborhood. The sampling covered traditional Catalon dishes. Ellen accommodated every food and destination request. We highly recommend this tour!

Our tour guide brought us to many historical places during our tour. He has extensive knowledge and was very pleasant to talk too. I would highly recommend him.

Highlights von Barcelona. Gute Organisation, freundliche Reiseführer, gute Informationen.

Tara, Aug 2024

It helped to see the map of the ancient city and to connect it with the structures that are still standing. It also helped us to understand the current feelings of the Catalonian people by seeing their history.
