Barcelona old town, flamenco show, and an authentic dinner and a drink - The moment we met Jose Carlos, it was clear we had made a good choice! He was friendly, super knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic. My wife and I went on quite a few guided tours in this trip, and Jose Carlos was at the top of the list. He patiently answered all of my questions, being able to add context and he absolutely matched my enthusiasm.

Mother Daughter Birthday Trip - We had the most wonderful walking tour with Eduard. He’s very knowledgeable, engaged with us and so passionate when he was telling us the history of the Gothic Quarter and the stories of those who have walked and inhabited the area. Edward thank you so much for making my Mother’s birthday so very special.

Great Gothic Experience! - Eduard was an amazing guide for this private tour. My daughter and I were intently listening because of his interesting stories. He is a true historian. He asked questions of us to make us think. He has a knack for drawing you into the world of Barcelona from the past. This Gothic tour was the best because of him.

Gothic tour - We had our own tour guide in Jose Carlos and he was great! We had so many questions and he would give us detailed answers, tailored our tour to what we like. Very very good choice if you’re planning on doing the tour. (Ask for Jose!)

Great tour with Jose Carlos! - Jose Carlos was a great tour guide. He had a lot of knowledge about the city and made recommendations for stores and food as we moved through the city. He did a great job working in breaks, avoiding crowds and finding shade since we visited during such a hot time. He even walked us to one of his favorite lunch spots. We would recommend this tour to others.
