Excellent, informative & fun - Our family of 4 (with 2 teens) had such an amazing time with Jarrod on both the Gaudi tour and the previous day’s Gothic Quarter Tour. We appreciated the way he shared the rich history and unique aspects of the architecture, peppered with so many interesting stories. Jarrod was engaging with a touch of humour that made it memorable for us. Well paced tour too. Highly recommended!

Highly Recommended. - Unfortunately I can’t remember our tour guides name- but the young guy was so informative and interesting and also had a folder of photos to help us understand what he was explaining. He was the best tour guide I had during my 3 days in Barcelona.

Fantastic overview of Gaudi's work! - Our guide, Lisa, did a wonderful job! Her stories helped bring Gaudi to life for us, and made our introduction to Barcelona so fun and informative! She also had the additional guide skills that we don't think about that much--navigating the crowd, keeping the group together, picking the best places to stand (based on crowd, traffic, and shade), and giving us good instructions. A really great guide!

Fabulous Gaudi walking tour with Ram! - We have just finished the Gaudi walking tour with Ram. It was fabulous! Ram is such a lovely guy and guided us professionally with warmth. He gave us so much information & history, we definitely wouldn’t have got the same from an audio guide. We could ask questions too. Definitely recommend 😊 The Brassell Family

Great Gaudi Tour - We had a wonderful time with Lisa for the Gaudi Tour. She was very personable, well-informed and entertaining. She gave us a lot of information and history behind the three Gaudi houses as well as the Sagrada Familia. She was always making sure no one in the tour was left behind. I highly recommend this tour.

good tour - knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. She was engaging, making the tour more interesting. The stop at Sagrada familia was too short, not explaining enough the details of the facade.
