"Maria Carmen, thank you so much for a wonderful tour. You are so knowledgeable and easy going. You allowed us time to take in exactly what we wanted. We never felt rushed. We all agreed how kind and courteous you are Maria. The fact that we never waited in a line was priceless. Thank you “With locals”, your company is worth every penny! I would highly recommend Maria, 10/10!"

"My 19 year old daughter and I had a wonderful time with Pili. She shared her wealth of knowledge about Gaudi’s architecture and pointed out things on the buildings that we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. She also shared the work she did as an artist on the Sagrada Família. She gave us some pointers on how to navigate the inside of the Sagrada and what we should look for. Don’t hesitate to book her if you are looking for a guide in Barcelona! "

"Great time with Ellie, she worked with us to accommodate the short time we had in Barcelona and gave us good tips to have a good experience. Very knowledgeable and highly recommend. "

"Ellie was prompt and enthusiastic about Gaudi’s Park Güell, Família Sagrada. Prior to booking this tour I was under the illusion I could walk between the two sites but am glad she suggested a taxi for our family of five. Ellie was full of interesting information and context. She communicated well our meeting location. The only downsides were completely on my end- we booked the tour for the heat of the day, on the first day of our trip- a bit jet lagged, and my youngest child got sick. Ellie was gracious and flexible to expedite part of our tour to accommodate a sick kiddo. We ended our tour early but are so grateful to see two important sites in Barcelona. A guide like Ellie is essential to get the full experience and context of sites like these. While Ellie did not accompany us into the park or church, it allowed us to move through at our own pace and did not detract from the experience at all. Thank you, Ellie, for your professionalism and kindness. "

"Ellie was amazing. She was knowledgeable, fun, and our group had an excellent tour. Thanks Ellie!"

"If you take only one tour while in Barcelona, take the “Gaudi Walking Tour & Sagrada Familia Skip the Line” tour with Ellie! We loved, loved, loved this tour! Ellie’s knowledge of Gaudi and the intricacies and symbolism in his buildings is excellent and made Gaudi’s buildings so more much interesting and fascinating than they already are. Ellie has a great personality and made us feel extremely comfortable and cared-for from the very beginning of the tour. She also made great recommendations for shopping and dining. Cannot recommend this tour with Ellie strongly enough! If we are ever back in Barcelona, booking a tour with Ellie will be the first thing we do :)."

"Pili was incredibly kind, informative, and exceptionally knowledgeable about Gaudí and his works. Her passion for the subject was evident from our very first email exchange and carried through every moment of the tour. I highly recommend participating in the full experience. The tour begins at a different location, followed by a taxi ride with Pili paid for by you to the Sagrada Família, where she provides a fascinating and detailed exploration of the exterior of the cathedral. I also strongly encourage you to pay the additional fee to tour the interior with her, which includes her admission and additional time. While the inside visit is not included in the base price, it is absolutely worth it and elevates the experience to another level. This was one of the most detailed and enriching tours I have ever taken. Pili combines historical expertise with a genuine personal connection to Gaudí's work, bringing his vision and legacy to life in a way that is both engaging and memorable. If you do nothing else while visiting Barcelona, take this tour and follow her recommendations. Whether you are traveling alone, with family, or with friends, the experience feels personal and tailored to your interests. Pili is warm, personable, knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does. I would take this tour again without hesitation. Thank you Pili for being me into your world during our time together."

"Experiencing La Sagrada Família with Maria was truly an amazing experience. Her expertise and historical knowledge of Gaudi and the Basílica itself was unparalleled—this was my third visit, and having Maria as our guide made it the best yet. While the church alone is awe-inspiring, the addition of Maria’s commentary took our visit to the next level. Worth every euro. Thank you, Maria, for our inspiring tour of Barcelona’s crown jewel."

"Our family enjoyed learning so many of the details that are usally missed. Philippe is clearly passionate abou the history of his homeland, his culture and the history that shaped it. We had some crazy rain while on bikes and he managed to make it fun fron the start to end. He also gave us some awesome recommendations for suitable brunch and dinner spots. Hope to cross paths again in the future!"

"Had an excellent tour with Ellie- originally from the USA, she’s lived in Barcelona for 20 years and is truly a local, but without any language barriers! She was engaging, knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. The time flew by and only wished we had more time together! Her pace was perfect (we’re not fast walkers) and got us to our destinations perfectly on time. Would highly recommend this tour with her!"
