Fabulous introduction to Barcelona

Alan was an amazing guide! He gave us a 3 hr walking tour & is very knowledgeable & enthusiastic about Barcelona’s interesting history. We learned a lot even in the first 10 minutes of the enjoyable morning. Thank you Alan!

Do this as soon as you land in Barcelona

Luis was a fantastic tour guide! On our 3 hour walking tour, he shared so much about Barcelona allowing both me and my partner to just relax and enjoy. He had such a dynamic personality and taught us how to take great photos at all the major sights while sharing tips and tricks on how to navigate the city! Highly recommend!

Lots of ground covered!!

We had a great tour with Lounis! He is very kind, speaks English well and knows a lot about Barcelona. He shows you the popular things like Las Ramblas and other busy spots, but he also shows you the places you probably don’t know about, so you see all the beautiful streets that the locals know, but the tourists don't. During the tour, he asks you what you want to see and is very flexible: do you want to hear about the history of Barcelona or do you want to know where to eat/go out: ask him and he’ll tell/show you!

Amazing experience

I had the most amazing tour with Lounis. He was really knowledgeable, engaging,kind, funny and took into consideration that I had just flown into Barcelona so the tour was really tailored to my comfort level. I would 100% recommend this to fellow travellers. Particularly as a solo female traveler I felt totally safe and got to see all the amazing sights and learn the history behind them.
Thank You again lounis for the gelato and amazing tour. You really set a high bar for the rest of my trip
