A Day Trip Of Barcelona - An excellent way to see some of the best parts of Barcelona. The Old Town and the early history of the city, Montjuic, La Sagrada Familia and Guell Park. Our guide, Ane, was brilliant. Equal parts charming, funny, informative and knowledgeable. In a way, she was as important to us as the tour itself.

Fabulous day with our amazing guide David in Barcelona - We had an amazing day with David touring Barcelona. We are a family of 6 with children ranging from 23 to 10 years old. David was a fabulous guide was informative and gave us space to enjoy our visit. He managed to engage with all ages in a comfortable relaxed and knowledgeable way. He is all you would want in a guide for a private tour. This tour does as it says it covers all the main sites in one day. We were only in Barcelona for 2 nights and this trip was perfect. Can’t recommend David or this itinerary highly enough. We had a perfect day in a beautiful city with a great guide. Thank you David for making the last day of our holiday and our first visit to Barcelona so memorable and happy for us all. The McGowan family from Scotland xxx

Incredible 1 Day Tour of Barcelona!!! - Our tour with Ane was incredible! She was so knowledgeable and fun. She was even able to hold the interest of our daughters, ages 11 and 13, which is quite impressive! They have even requested that we do another tour with her on our next trip to Barcelona! We were picked up at our hotel to begin the tour and were able to leave our belongings in the van when we got out at each stop. We went to Montjuic, the Gothic Quarter, Sagrada Familia, and Parc Guell. Ane also made the group a lunch reservation at a restaurant with an extensive menu, making it easy for everybody to find something to eat. We even had time to stop in some gift shops and grab an iced coffee before heading over to Sagrada Familia. The timing was great, as the stained glass was absolutely glowing inside. The tour was so well organized and communication was excellent! I would highly recommend booking to see some of the highlights of Barcelona! We learned so much snd made some amazing memories!
