Memento vivere - Krisztina is a classy guide and a good talker (and listener) with impeccable manners and a certain gentleness that comes with a good education driven by curiosity about the world. Her vast knowledge of the city and its history allows her to navigate through different topics effortlessly. Some guides might be a bit mechanical in their delivery but not Krisztina - her tour was more akin to meeting with an old friend. I recommend her to anyone genuinely willing to discover what makes Barcelona so unique rather than do a "been there, done that tour". I would compare her narrative style and attitude to Bartók's "Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta": modern but not show-offy; lively but not artificially agitated; multilayered but not overwhelming; intelligent and witty but humbled by centuries of accumulated experiences and traditions.

Sebastian the story teller - Sebastian is a teller of tales, sharing his knowledge and enthusiasm for the local history. We really enjoyed our tour .

Alan is Great! - I almost cancelled this tour because I booked so many, but I’m so glad that I didn’t. Alan is a great tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and made the tour fun, interesting, and exciting.

Great Tour With Sebastian - My wife and I visited Barcelona for the second time a few days ago. On our first visit, we were there almost a week and walked, on our own, through most of the city after taking a Hop on-Hop off bus to get a layout of the city and its sites. While we saw many things, we knew virtually nothing of what we were looking at! Our most recent was only for 2 days and we wanted to make that time well spent, so I booked a 3-hour walking tour with Sebastian. We met in our hotel lobby at the agreed upon time and started our tour. As I requested of him when I booked, we spent the entire time walking in the Gothic Quarter. Sebastian showed us many things there that we probably walked by on our first visit without noticing them or their significance. He had a great command of the history of Barcelona and Spain and easily tied events together bringing us up to the current time. Sebastian's easygoing manner and willingness to discuss any topic that we brought up made for a very enlightening yet enjoyable time. We discussed topics like politics, religion, cultural values and many other topics related to Barcelona's long history without him expressing any strong opinions, and it allow us to form our own opinions based on what we heard. Sebastian also was kind enough to point out a number of shops that he thought were high quality and places for us to do some shopping. After we left him, we took advantage of what he told us. We returned to many of those shops and bought many things for people at home, including gifts for ourselves. At the end of our time with him, I asked if he was free for the remainder of the day but, unfortunately, he had other things that he had to get done, so we had to part ways. I strongly recommend Sebastian as a tour guide for your visit to Barcelona and would have no reservation about using him for our next visit to Barcelona.

Highly recommend - We appreciated the fun, adaptability, and unique hidey-holes that showed us the layers of history. As a Catalan guide, her answers were direct and helpful. Plus, we got insider leads to all the good food spots!

Denis was the best guide, and a great tour - Perfect way to see the ins and outs of the old city. Go early! Cool to see the city when it is just waking up and miss the worst of the crowds. We got lucky and our guide Denis was the best we had had on any guided tour we have done. If you can afford it do the private version as it is easier to get around. So many recommendations and spots we would have just glazed over if doing a self guided Google walk.

Great hidden gems tour of Barcelona! - Krisztina was an incredible, articulate, and gracious guide for us in the Gothic part of Barcelona. We thoroughly enjoyed her knowledge and her thoughtful narrative describing what we were seeing. Since it was a private tour, we had a lot of opportunities to ask questions and get her personal insight about the area that I don't think we would have had otherwise. And she helped us with recommendations for the rest of the trip.

Barcelona private tour - Ramona was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable about the history of the area and an absolute pleasure to spend the day with.

Engaging family friendly tour - Ellie did such a fantastic job on our tour and kept our 6 year old very entertained! She explained things in a very interesting way that kept him excited and he loved the scavenger hunt. She kept us positive even in the pouring rain! Would definitely recommend her to any families looking for a great, interactive tour!

Excellent Tour! - Excellent tour by Sebastian. He has extensive knowledge of the history of the city. The explanation of the development of the city and the salient historical events was fascinating. I highly recommend this tour.
