    I was travelling in a big group and we split into 2 groups when arriving. Marek is a very good guide. He knows the history and explain the difference between the Spanish and the Catalan.

    He also suggested different local itinerary within Barcelona and how to get away tourist trap.

    The location for pick up and drop off is the same and very easily to reach by metro.

    Highly recommend.

    We had a great tour. My daughter is studying architecture, so it definitely hit all her high points. The ability to skip lines with the guide was a big plus for my younger kid and the excellent transport to/from Park Guell and Sagrada Familia made it very easy to maneuver the city.

    Our guide (Aida) was very knowledgeable and great with making sure the group understood the historical situation when Gaudi was building.

    Weather was rainy, cold, windy BUT then we have snow in the Pyrenees! The guide was informative and despite the above- the tri0 was pleasant. Issue is the long drive for brief touring time but it is to be expected

    Jordy was a respectful and well-informed guide who made the half day excursion to Montserrat very enjoyable. His knowledge included history, botany and topography, with a few jokes in between.

    The office of the tour operator has tricky to find but we managed that.

    The tour started with Guell park. This part of the tour went very well. The guide was great, patient with the group, and very informative. At the end of the park visit we had a few minutes of a break before the bus arrived to take us to the Sagrada Famillia. Several of the tour participants needed to go to the bathroom before we boarded the bus. For the guys it was fast, as usual for us guys. For the ladies it was horrible. . . long lines, waiting forever, and disgusting conditions once they got to the facilities

    Once we were delivered to the proximity of SF we were a little late so had about 10 minutes to check in with the tour guide there ( a different person). The group was divided into 2 groups. One group got the prior guide and we got the new guide. Our group also included several Spanish speaking people so our guide had to repeat everything in Spanish and English. This was a bad experience as his time with either language group was limited so everyone got less information and time to ask questions. Honestly it ruined the experience.

    My advice for future visitors is to ensure that you are in a single language group. If we had had this I would have rated the tour better

    Eric gave a wonderful tour, chock full of interesting historical facts and lots of great stories. His personality is ideally suited for guiding a diverse group of people, keeping everyone engaged and always happy to answer questions, not just with one word answers but in-depth facts, all while keeping the tour going on pace. He also had great knowledge about the food and wine, along with tips about Spanish drinking and dining customs. Highly recommend this tour.

    Our family tour of Park GĂĽell and Sagrada FamĂ­lia was an unforgettable experience, and Jorge was an exceptional guide. He provided fascinating details, kept the tour engaging for all ages, and even captured wonderful family photos for us. This is an absolute must-do in Barcelona, showcasing the city's stunning architecture and vibrant history. Booking in advance with skip-the-line tickets was a lifesaver, as both sites were completely sold out!

    Christina of Tours for Today was very knowledgeable and kept the group’s attention. I’d recommend going but take a cab to the meeting point. We took the metro and it dumps you on the opposite side of the Park that is a 30 minute walk uphill AROUND the park. Apple/Google Maps doesn’t know you can’t go thru the park.

    We took a full day tour with Rod. Had a great time and learned lots of new things. Entertaining stories mixed with free time to explore on our own. Recommend.

    We loved the fact Travelodge Barcelona Fira was only 100 metres to the metro, gives easy access to Barcelona and sights. Special mention to Lovely Lillia on Reception, ever helpful and knowlegable a delight to talk to.

    Yanis walking tour was the best and most informative and entertaining tour I ever experienced! You learn a lot about the civil war and the history of Barcelona and Catalunya.

    Visiting the Sagrada Família was an unforgettable experience! The tour was exceptionally well-organized, with clear instructions sent in advance that made everything smooth and easy. Walking through the basilica and learning about its history and intricate architecture was truly inspiring. We loved every moment and would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper appreciation of Gaudí’s masterpiece!
