"Carlos did an amazing job guiding us around the city. He was very knowledgeable and shared interesting details about each place we visited. It was so nice to get a local’s perspective on this beautiful city. He also gave us a wonderful lunch recommendation and even made us a reservation and walked us to the restaurant when our tour was over. It really was a perfect day in Barcelona for our family!

”A super star tour guide, with tons of knowledge and a dynamite personality, Zaida made for an outstanding day, and first visit to Barcelona! You’ve selected an easy to locate meeting location. The six hour Barcelona tour was all that you promised, and more. Zaida is a charming, thorough explorer, explaining the dynamics of Barcelona and all that it offers!"

Testimonials
"We cannot believe how blessed we were that Zaida was our tour guide in Barcelona today. She was a dream come true for our family. She was extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, and thoughtful, and was so willing to share the extraordinary history of this beautiful city with us, including her personal experiences growing up here. Her passion was contagious. We fell in love with her immediately, and we were very sad to say goodbye to her after our unforgettable six hours. Zaida took the time to know us, and included stops on our tour that touched on our individual interests. When we think back on this trip, it will be Zaida whom we will remember, and who had the greatest impact on us."
