Our guide, Cristina, gave us a tour of the gothic quarter jam packed with architectural information, historical facts and cultural anecdotes—exactly the type of tour we were interested in. She even recommended some fiction books that are based in Barcelona and pointed out the sites that were in the book during our tour. The book (The Shadow of the Wind)... More

We were actually working with Hi. This is Barcelona... last year 01/2011. Since then, when people talk of traveling there, we have told them to contact this group. They worked with us even though we contacted them at the last minute AND they worked with our very short schedule. HtiB gave us a wonderful recommendation for a hotel. That was... More

We had a wonderful time. Our Guide was charming and informative and knew exactly where to take us to eat after all the walking! More

I had an enjoyable 3+ hours walking through the Gothic and surrounding quarters of Barcelona. The guide provided an excellent overview of the city's history and its transformation over the years. While I would have appreciated some more depth into the city's history, the guide was very pleasant and accommodating - and managed to cover a great deal of ground... More

We did the "Tapas Like a Local" tour in December 2011 with Jose. He clearly enjoys giving the tour, and his knowledge of the city and culture, along with the fantastic food experience made for a wonderful evening. Sam replied promptly to our inquiry and got everything coordinated with one day notice. I highly recommend them. More

Our family was lucky enough to spend the day with Nancy as our tour guide for an fullday intro to Barcelona tour. I was worried that it might be too long for my teenagers, who really had been enjoying the Spanish siesta every afternoon! but we all ended up feeling like it was the highlight of our trip. We started... More

Our tour with Jose, the only native in Barcelona with red hair, was terrific. He was knowledgeable about everything Barcelona: history, architecture, art,etc. Our time with him through the Barrio Gotico and out to Barcelonetta was well worth it. He was excellent company and we had a lovely tapas lunch with him. His suggestions for the rest of the time... More

Our tour was supposed to be a two day, four hour a day tour. However, because our kids wanted to shop, we condensed the tour into one day. I worried it might be too much to fit in, but went along anyway. Glad I did because our guide, Nancy, was like that rare teacher you had in school who makes... More

I travelled to Barcelona with my husband and two kids, ages 9 and 12. From the first time, I was in contact with Sam to meeting with Nancy, our guide, I felt like we were fully taken care of and given the utmost attention. There services were so worth the price and perfect as well for children. And then in... More
