Foodie Treat - Alejandra was amazing. We went to wonderful local places and had wonderful local foods. Her explanations about the history of the neighborhoods and the local foods made it fun for not only us but our three granddaughters who are 21, 17 and 16. I would definitely recommend this tour and most especially Alejandra to anyone. Sandy

Perfect tour - Our guide Alejandra was excellent. We were a group of 5, my wife and I and three granddaughters aged 21 to 16. Alejandra made it fun and informative for all of us. The granddaughters were as thrilled with the tour as we were. We went to three restaurants and tried some great tapas and drinks in each restaurant. Between our food stops Alejandra kept us interested with lots of insider information about Barcelona. Overall a wonderful tour.

Like a being shown Barcelona by a family member! - Alejandra provided us a wonderful and personal history of the Born neighborhood and Catalonia. She took us to her favorite places and shared her favorite dishes and drinks. We were the only tourists in each place and we were welcomed warmly.

Alejandra Connected Our Hearts to Barcelona!! - We had so much fun with Alejandra while exploring, learning, and connecting to Barcelona’s unique culture, history, and joy through food, market tapas, and her depth of knowledge. As a halo effect of her engaging personality, we were welcomed like locals in of all the extraordinary places she took us, She graciously accommodated dietary needs and made sure we had the best time together. It was a highlight of our Barcelona trip.
