Superb Barcelona Tour with a Great Guide! - I decided to book a 3-hour tour to discover all the faces of Barcelona. I did not see the hours pass. This Fabio Guide is just great. With him we really appreciate the city of Barcelona, with its ancient and sometimes painful history, tasty anecdotes and visits to neighborhoods often forgotten (wrongly) by tourists. Fabio is exciting in his comments without being heavy like some guides. It also brings surprising anecdotes and humor. He loves this city and this 3-hour tour explains why. One almost has the Impression that it is a friend who shows his city around. Nice service to discover Barcelona otherwise. I'm a fan!

A fun friendly and informative tour - Intelligent informative and caring tour guide. Most importantly- engaging. Book the tour- you won’t regret it! We booked Fabio’s tour after much research . We decided to risk it even though no/few reviews- and it was a great find! Even though several places were closed due to the June holiday Fabio made the tour interesting . Also great that it was private- just our family and not a group of 20. Very easy to converse and move around And BTW - excellent English and he speaks several languages
