Great highlights tour! - Sebastian did a great job with the hidden gems/highlights tour. We learned so much and saw so much of Barcelona in such a short time! He is a fountain of knowledge and was entertaining at the same time. I had know idea about the darker side of history he told us about and I didn't know too much about Gaudi and Guell either. He told the story of Barcelona in a timeline that was easy to follow and would refer back to certain things so any new information "clicked" better for us. He was very friendly and spoke loud and clear so he was very easy to understand the whole time. He gave some recommendations for things to check out on our own time when certain spots were closed (we were there on a holiday, May 1). He also recommended a nice restaurant that we went to later that night (El Quatro Gats), which was a great experience! We highly recommend any tour with Sebastian!

Everything we hoped for and more - Alan was a gem! Apart from being friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and helpful, he listened to what we wanted and tailored the tour for us. He went at our pace and took us to places we never would have experienced on our own. We got to have foodie stops, Gaudi stops and sightseeing diversions all of which encompassed both mainstream and off the beaten track experiences. Overall, a wonderful mix of everything we wanted plus he went above and beyond to help us get Sagrada Familia tickets for the next day when we were told they were all sold out for more than a week ahead. We had a great time with Alan and thoroughly commend his excellent service.

Best walking tour ever!!!! - Overall this was a great experience. We got to see iconic architecture and buildings and our guide, Lounis, was very knowledgeable about the origin of such artifacts and history of Spain and Catalonia. We stopped for Churros and they were fresh and delicious.

So worth the money! - 10/10
This tour was worth every penny. I got to see so many cool parts of the gothic quarter of Barcelona and my guide Ilona was able to cater the tour to my level of understanding perfectly. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who has never been to Barcelona before, especially if you enjoy history and culture.

Great tour I learned a lot. - Marina had so many things so share. Not just the obvious but many things with an historical story. I learned so much and when I walked around the city the next day I paid attention to the details of architecture she had taught me. She shared so many fun little antidotes. Marina also suggested events and other places for me to go. So many that now I decided I have to come back! Thanks Marina for the great tour.

Great short walking tour for kids - Our kids are 4 and 6 and really enjoyed the tour. It was a great informational activity for their age group and they really participated in the questions and learning. Ellie is great with kids and I would recommend it for families with kids that 4 or older. You should probably have a snack/drink ready for them, although we purchased them while on the tour. The kids are walking/standing most of the time with a couple of places to sit. There is a nice kids park on one side of sagrada Familia and I highly recommend to get entry tickets ahead of time.

With Locals is an awesome guide resource - We are a family of 4 with a 14 and 17 year old. From the moment we met, Moises’ energy was infectious. His genuine love for and extensive knowledge about Catalan and Barcelona permeate the whole tour. He provided a very impressive balance of history and current cultural information and facts. He was funny and flexible and immediately understood what was important to us and then pivoted along the way to meet our interests. He was also very generous with sharing about himself, his own experiences and interests as related to the region and the tour so we felt we got to know him also. If we had known how great he is ahead of time we would have booked him for all our tours in Barcelona. He also provides an impressive list of personal re commendations at the end and we enjoyed a great dinner and awesome bar later that day as a result! We hope to do another tour with him in the future. Couldn’t recommend more!
