Fun Gaudi Tour with Lisa! - What an insightful and delightful Gaudi themed walking tour through Barcelona! Lisa was fun, entertaining and very knowledgeable about Gaudi, his projects and also the cultural context around each project we visited. Very grateful also to Lisa for helping me figure out Metro tickets for the tour.. and for my bonus Chupa Chup! Would highly recommend :)

Excellent tours! - We did both the old town/gothic quarter tour with Tatiana and the Gaudi tour with Jarrad. Both were very different but equally as knowledgeable. We really enjoyed both tours with the guides pointing out famous landmarks and providing the relevant history and opportunities for photos. The guides are freelance and you pay the guide at the end of the tour what you thought it was worth.

A Great Way To See Barcelona's Highlights - We used Runner Beans for several tours in Barcelona and the surrounding area. From the beginning they were always responsive to requests, and our guides (Anna and Lisa) and the tours themselves were top tier. I would recommend Runner Beans to anyone.

A Great introduction to Gaudi and Barcelona - We had a very good tour with Lisa from Runner bean tours, she was Irish and had lived in Barcelona for many years . She was very knowledgeable and a very good raconteur.We met in a pretty square with Gaudi lampposts off La Rambla ( Placa Reial ).She took us through Gaudi’s life and started with his early career and work and then we went from Guell’s mansion to the Casa Batllo and on to El Pedrera and finally to Sagrada Familia . We also walked some of La Rambla and she helped us with using the metro for 2 short journeys. The tour does not take you inside the buildings but she had plenty of photos to show us . You need to return and book entrances to the buildings separately . We missed the inside of Sagrada Familia because it was a Saturday and you needed to book at least a week in advance ( October) We did go back and explored El Pedrera which was fascinating and has lovely roof top vistas and the amazing chimney pots and ventilation shafts . Lisa had told us all about this in her tour . She gave us a great introduction to Gaudi and Barcelona. Throroughly recommended. The tour was about 2 1/2 hours.

Fabulous - My friend and myself booked the Gaudi tour after reading other positive reviews. So glad we did. Our guide Julie was informative helpful & the most pleasant young lady. We would have struggled to see the sights on our own. Her tour flowed perfectly & her knowledge was second to none. The tour finished outside Sagrada Familia. Stunning Highly recommend Runnerbean tours

Excellent tour of Gaudi sites. - I toured the Gaudi sites with Jarrod. He gave us excellent background information on Gaudi’s life and personality as well as lots of information on the individual sites. He was very helpful with seeing us off to our next stops and with restaurant suggestions as well.

Gothic quarter tour - Daria was a wonderful guide with a lot of history of the city and the Catallan culture. I wish we had been able to spend a little more time in the Borne area

This is a must tour with Ann Marie while in Barcelona! - Ann Marie did a phenomenal job of bringing Guadi’s masterpieces of architecture to life. Especially the San Grada Familia. Great knowledge of art history and a sweet person. This walking tour will be remembered as a highlight of my Barcelona trip
