My husband and I recently visited Barcelona for the first time. We wanted to see as much as we could in one day and the bike tour was the PERFECT way to do it! Our guide, Angel, met us at our hotel and gave us a brief overview of the history of the medieval city. He then took us around by bike for 5 hours as we captured views of the most impressive architecture in the city, stopping along the way at a local Pasteleria for a scrumptious pastry and coffee and later for tapas overlooking the Mediterranean sea! The tour ended on foot as we explored the tiny cobblestone streets along the Jewish Quarter. Angel left us with suggestions on where to visit while we were in Girona and Costa Brava which were invaluable!! I cannot say enough about how wonderful this experience was for us. We would highly recommend this company to anyone that is visiting the historical city of Barcelona! If we could give this tour 6 stars we would!!!

Hi. This is Barcelona... ensured that our first visit to Barcelona was a memorable experience. This company is top notch. From the moment we contacted Margo months before our trip until we returned home, every email, inquiry, question, etc. was responded to in a timely fashion with very useful tidbits of information about our trip. There is no way we could have been as organized or packed as much into our short stay in Barcelona as we did without Margo's assistance.
We initially contacted Margo to arrange a bike tour, but she provided many additional recommendations for restaurants, sites and stops along the way, all of which turned out to be great. Her personalized approach to customizing our experience really set Hi. This is Barcelona... apart from other tour groups.
The day after our arrival, we spent the entire day on a bike tour of Barcelona. We had told Margo that we wanted to see as much of Barcelona as possible in a day, and our expectations were far exceeded. Our local guide, Angel, was born and raised in Barcelona. Angel was delighted to share his knowledge of and passion for Barcelona in a way that made us feel like locals. We made our way along the port area, up Montjuic, crossed the city towards La Sagrada Familia, then headed towards the Olympic village and back along the coastal beaches. Throughout our voyage, Angel deftly guided us through the city streets as he pointed out historic landmarks, various neighborhoods and their features, architectural influences and many other significant tidbits of information that would have otherwise gone totally unnoticed and unappreciated without him.
Even after the tour was over, Angel accompanied us back to our hotel and gave us recommendations for our continued adventure up the Catalan coast. His recommendations led to some the most memorable experiences of our trip. If you want to truly feel like a VIP in Barcelona, then Hi. This is Barcelona... is for you!!

We just got back from Barcelona and loved the trip. A Key element to our experience was working with Jordan and Sylvia on a few tours of the city, the gothic area and also costa brava. We highly recommend Sylvia as she truly is an expert on Barcelona, Gaudi, and the history of the area. Also she is very personable and a wonderful person. Jordan was very helpful in setting up our tours and helping us decide on which to take - and customizing as needed. We loved both of them.

Our remote company just did a retreat in Barcelona, where we came together to connect and plan for the coming year as a team. We hired Hi. This is Barcelona to do a Gothic walking tour for us and to help with restaurant reservations. They were absolutely amazing. The correspondence was quick and thoughtful and the entire planning of the trip from beginning to end was tailored to our needs. The walking tour was informative and interesting, and our guide was adaptable when we all wanted to stop for a drink in the market half way through. This is a unique company that goes above and beyond and it made our experience that much better. Thank you to a wonderful team!

Jordan was on top of it and always got back with quick and concise information regarding the tours we wanted to book. He had excellent recommendations and definitely gave us top guides for our tours. We really felt taking an e-bike tour around Madrid with Nico was a great way to start our stay in Madrid because he gave an excellent sense of the city and some hot spots to hit. We also had Marta give really insightful tour of the Prado Museum which my wife who was an art history major was incredibly impressed with her knowledge. Both of these guides were able to make it extremely engaging for our two teenage kids a boy and girl. In Barcelona Fernando took us on a bike tour of the city and tour of Sagrada Familia inside and out and everyone extremely professional and were well worth having these guides.

We thoroughly enjoyed working with Margo in planning our mother - daughter trip to Spain. She is kind, informative, organized and attentive. I would highly recommend her and the agency to anyone traveling in Spain that wants a personalized experience. Margo set us up with delightful and informative guides in Barcelona and Madrid. Margo and the guides were very flexible and eager to meet our requests. They introduced us to fabulous local restaurants, favorite areas to explore and offered a wealth of information. Five star rating. We can't wait to return!!

We used this company based upon a referral from a friend and have since recommended it to everyone that we know who travels to Spain. The time spent with their guides are unique "experiences" that we and all of our friends still talk about. Of course they offer the typical "must see/must do" destinations, but their "off the beaten path" bespoke adventures are what sets them apart from the ordinary travel guide company. The guides are fun and great to spend the time with.
We HIGHLY recommend this group to anyone traveling!!
(Tapas and Bike tour were a couple of our faves)

'Hi, This is Barcelona' was very quick to respond with many different recommendations and ideas, and we ended up booking 2 specialised private tours with them. We did a wonderful private cooking class with their private chef in her apartment, with a tour through a local market to gather the ingredients, and it was an incredibly fun and informative experience! Then we did a full-day City tour in a van with different stops around many of the areas of the city, including some walking through the Gothic Quarter. As part of that tour, we also got to tour the inside of Sagrada Familia with our guide, which was an unforgettable experience.
Top notch all around! Great service, great guides. Highly recommend!

We heard about his company from our friends who used them 15 years ago in Barcelona, and had highly recommended them to us. We could not have been happier! From the beginning, Jordan (the company owner) emailed me immediately with an amazing detailed suggested plan for our 2 day tour of Barcelona, which we tweaked a few times by email. We decided on the 3.5 hour Tapas Tour for our first night, and it was fabulous! Our tour guide was Cesar, who had 25+ years of giving tours all around Barcelona and was well-versed in the history of Spain and Europe. We walked all around Barcelona, and ate in 2 restaurants chosen by him, and enjoyed all of his amazing food suggestions. He also was so friendly and had a fabulous and fun personality so the evening was spectacular! We were sad to say goodbye to him! On our second day in Barcelona, we went on the 8 hour walking tour with our amazing guide, Zaida, who took us to the Sagrada Familia, the Picasso Museum, La Ramblas and the Gothic Quarter. Zaida has also been giving tours in Barcelona for 14 years, so she was very experienced as well. She got us into the buildings on time with the company's pre-purchased tickets, and gave us college level lectures at every site we saw with her. She was so knowledgeable about everything in Barcelona, from the history, to the architecture, the food, the people, etc. She carried an iPad with her to show us things about Barcelona that were meant to supplement our in person tour with her, and the sites we visited. She was also so warm, friendly and fun to be with for the 8 hours, that we didn't want to leave her at the end of the day! There were big hugs between all of us at the end of the day when we left her. During our tour with Zaida, we ran into Cesar (our guide from the night before) on the street, and he greeted us with a huge smile and a big warm hug! These 2 tours were the hi-light of our week in Europe. So, if you want a highly professional personalized tour of Barcelona, that is also fun and with amazing experienced tour guides, you should definitely reserve your tours with them. Also, you must contact them early as they do get busy!

We had the most wonderful stay in Barcelona, all due to Jordan's incredible attention to detail and his dedication to client satisfaction. He worked diligently with us to create an experience that perfectly matched our needs, wants, and dreams. Our main tour guide, Zaida (pronounced Thida) literally knows everything about Barcelona's history, architecture, and the artists that make it such a great city to visit. She's full of personality and a pleasure to spend time with. Dominique, our guide through the Jewish Quarter, and Fernando, our guide to the best, non-touristy tapas restaurants, are also incredibly knowledgeable and companionable. I can't imagine a better way to truly experience Barcelona than working with Hi, This is Barcelona.

A few minutes ago, I texted some questions, but for so reason they went under the name "Rose" and I have not gotten an answer. My name is Judy K. What I wrote was: Hi. We will lbe in Barcelona and would love to tour the Jewish Call with a terrific guide. My son and Daughter-in-law highly recommended Theresa as our guide if she is available. Their experience with her was wonderful.
The day for the tour to the Jewish Call in Barcelona would be Monday, October 8th in the morning.
Please give us a possible quote with times, for perhaps 2 hours, preferably at !0 a.m. We have read your web site and look forward to hearing from you ASAP.

How do I go about finding a guide, fee, etc?
Written June 25, 2018
HI I am going to be in Barcelona in late September (still have to get tickets). I am traveling alone but I would not mind one or
two people joining me. I am interested in art, Gaudi, Segrada Familia, etc. I can go to museums by myself. I love food. I am not interested in shopping or cooking classes. How much time would I want to spend on a tour for my interests? What is
your fee? I am open to any suggestions. I was last in Barcelona in 1968!
Written June 24, 2018
I think you would want to spend a day. Their fees are well worth it.

Hi. Your tours sound perfect for us. We are two women arriving for the day of Sunday May 20, on the Norwegian Epic. We have been very excited about seeing Gaudi's work, with the priority going inside Segrada Familia and to Park Guelle. I have Parkinson's and will bring a foldable walker wheelchair, and can often walk most of the day. Please respond asap? Gracias
