Miguel's tour of Barcelona was an absolute delight from start to finish! His passion for the city's rich history and vibrant culture was infectious, making every stop along the way feel like an adventure. Miguel's extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the landmarks to life, giving us a deeper appreciation for Barcelona's beauty. He effortlessly navigated through the bustling streets, ensuring we experienced the must-see sights while also uncovering hidden gems off the beaten path. I highly recommend Miguel as a tour guide for anyone looking to explore Barcelona with an enthusiastic and knowledgeable local who truly loves sharing the magic of this incredible city.

Catty our guide was amazing. She guided us through the city, showing it to us through a unique perspective. The views from the cable car and Montjuc Castle were breathtaking and we will be able to remember them in the future thanks to Catty who offered to take photos of us to immortalize these splendid moments!

Montse was an amazing guide with so much passion and knowledge for the sites we visited today. The views of Barcelona from Montjuic Castle were beautiful and the sunset was spectacular. We enjoyed some local Tapas specialities and good conversation!

This tour was not as described at all! Tour company was not very good at communication. Prior to booking, I asked about the tour times- Private tour was at 3:30, small group at 5:30. I wanted the small group, but was worried about the darkness at that time for views as the amount of time for tour states 5.5 hours. Instead of answering the question, they simply responded with the fact that the fountain is closed and they don't offer that tour- yet I was able to book the tour and it is on both their home site and trip advisor. We decided to go with 5:30 (knowing that it did not include the fountain show) since I was hoping to fit in Palau Guell earlier, and the only way I could get into Montjuic was if I did this tour with the "exclusive" visit open only to our group- Montjuic clearly states it sells last ticket at 5:30. THE DAY BEFORE, they contacted us that the time of the tour changed to 3:30 due to Montjuic winter hours. I knew the hours because it is on the castle's site year round! We decided to do the tour anyway, since we would at least see the outside of Palau Guell on the tour. Wrong. We DID NOT go by Palau Guell, nor the cat statue. We only looked at the market entrance from across the street because the other family on the tour asked about it. The Montjuic Castle is NOT exclusive, we did NOT go in the dungeons, we did NOT go in the tower. Instead we started with a short walk around the cathedral (all of which we saw on another tour, and picked this tour because it was supposedly going to different sights). We actually did get to ride in the funicular, and cable car. That was the best part of the tour- but we could have done that on our own. We had a very short abbreviated walk around the castle- not in dungeon, nor in tower. Then, our guide took us to tapas at what reminded me of a food truck in the US. Tapas included potato chips, Nachos with guac, and some sandwiches. Not very good. We ate outside, then continued to walk past the fountain, and then guide was unhelpful in helping us find our way back- we were over a 1/2 hour walk from the start point. Fortunately, it was only 6:30, because the 5 1/2 hour tour that didn't do half of what it states was only 3 hours!!! DO NOT USE THIS TOUR COMPANY, DO NOT DO THIS TOUR!!
