5.00We had a blast on out tour with Alessandro! We booked a tour in English, but then discovered Alessandro also spoke Italian 😅. Alessandro is extremely knowledgeable, obviously loves his city and he is eager to share what he knows with his customers. Our tour started at the sagrada familia and then continued to casa mila and through the historic center. We learned a lot about Gaudí and modernism. Oh, we also stopped for a cup of hot chocolate amatller 😋! It was a great three hours in Barcelona and we will make sure to get in touch with Alessandro for another tour next time we are here!

5.00Henrieta is an amazing guide🤩. We had the three hour private Gaudì tour and learned so much with her. The tour was full of facts, stories and thought provoking discussions. Henrieta was always checking on us as well through-out the tour to check the pace and how we felt. It was great to get the behind the scene information and it really enhanced our experience. Get ready to do some walking but also lots of stops to admire the sights. Thank you Henrieta!

BEST Guide in Barcelona

5.00This is no ordinary guided tour of Gaudì hotspots in Barcelona. It’s the BEST tour - because our guide Alessandro covered the magnificent and humble genius of Gaudi in the context of his times and the unique modernism movement. With a stunning depth of knowledge and perspective, he literally walked us through this profound period of history which transformed Barcelona’s physical, economic and cultural structures into urban Catalonia. Alessandro brought alive the rich weave of political, industrial and sociological factors giving rise to modernism and the endlessly enchanting contours of Gaudi’s designs. A three hour tour has never gone so fast! HIGHLY RECOMMEND..
Outstanding! Well worth it!
