"After a last minute cancellation from another tour host we were really happy that Maria could accommodate us. Communication was excellent. Meeting was easy. We had a wonderful fun and interesting 3 hours. Great choice of location for drink & amazing "snack" - best patatas bravas ever! The cafe was itself a hidden gem. Maria was really knowledgeable and very pleasant. We would recommend her to everyone!"
"Amazing tour with Maria! She was able to accommodate my parents mobility issues and still show us everything we wanted to see. She suggested some great places to eat, and provided some wonderful local tips for my brother and I who are huge FC Barcelona fans "
"It was such a wonderful experience with Ilona. We tasted amazing food and learned so much history along the way. We even returned to one of the restaurants later on during our trip! This was the day of the big blackout and, even with that, she made the very best of it and took us to spots we would not have seen otherwise. Highly, highly recommend Ilona. 10/10"
"Sebastian was wonderful. He didn’t let the rain get in the way of providing a fascinating walk and sharing his vast knowledge of Barcelona and its history
He readily shared suggestions for where we should spend the rest of our time following the walk also"
"A friend recommended the WithLocals experiences so we booked a food tour with Brendan. We started with some churros and chocolate then had a beautiful walk through the old city down to the beach. Brendan was very knowledgeable about the history of this part of Spain. We wandered the streets looking for images of St. George and the dragon. We finished up at a very locals-only tapas bar where we sampled the local cuisine. I would recommend this experience and we thought that Brendan was very personable and his knowledge of the history and food of Catalan were a real plus. "
"Federico was our pleasant, friendly and accommodating Guide to Barcelona cuisine.

"We highly recommend Liliia for your Barcelona visit. We learned a lot from her and enjoyed our time touring the area together. She was very informative, insightful and kind. We did a tapas tour, but learned so many interesting facts about Barcelona and the culture along the way. Do yourself a favor and book her if she is available!"
"I ended up stranded due to my travel partner ending up in a hospital in Barcelona. I booked Lusi at the last minute and she took the booking even though she was an hour away with friends and family on a Sunday. I can truly say that she was incredible! Lusi puts so much energy and thought into her tour. She brought me to such interesting and important locations in the city of Barcelona. She provided facts and history of each place. Lusi speaks 7 languages and her English was perfect. Her passion for Barcelona and it's history and culture is evident in all the thought she's put into where she leads you. Not only does Lusi bring you to the obvious locations relating to Gaudi but she finds hidden locations of interest that you wouldn't normally find with a tour. I can't recommend Lusi enough. When I come back to Barcelona for a real vacation, I will find her again for sure! Please hire her, she is worth every penny!"
"Dear Philippe, I can say i name of all 4 of us that we had interesting time with you in Barcelona. Looking forward to repeat experience!"
