Eoghan was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and brilliantly sarcastic, making us all laugh. He told us all sorts of great gossip, information, and tips.
Thomas was interesting and informed. Every stop was fascinating and Thomas truly gave us the story of Picasso in Barcelona so we felt it was very real.
This was hands-down the best tour we experienced during our time in the city. Our guide had an incredible depth of knowledge about Picasso’s life and art. It was truly impressive. Eoghan had a way of weaving history, art, and personal anecdotes into a captivating story that made every stop on the tour come alive. He brought Picasso’s world into focus, showing us the places that shaped him while sharing insights that went beyond what you’d read in a guidebook.
Daria brought Picasso to life. It was a well researched and well presented tour. I enjoyed it immensely and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the artist.
Zeynep didn’t just tell us about Picasso’s life. Her storytelling was magnetic. She made us feel like we were there. By the end, I felt like I knew Picasso. Unforgettable.
Our guide was wonderful—you could truly feel her passion for art, her love for the city. I actually enjoyed the intimate, guided walking tour even more than the museum itself.
The Picasso walking tour was amazing, learning and seeing the inspiration for Picasso and his early life. Eoghan was knowledgeable, friendly and very personable.
Perrine was absolutely fantastic, very passionate about Picasso's history. She took around a couple barrios of Barcelona, where Picasso has been. That was the most memorable part.
The guide was very good with loads of interesting stories about Picasso and his life. It made the museum visit much more understandable.
The guide is full of knowledge about the Sagrada Familia and shows you all the interesting parts and tells you interesting stories. Definitely worth the money and I highly recommend this tour.
As a local, I can say Naiara was on point and with a perfect tune and timing to visit such a magnificent building.
Valentina is an incredible tour guide with such great energy. Definitely worth the visit, even for people who live in Barcelona and want to get to know the story and meaning behind this great creation.
After leaving it too late to get general admission I managed to get a place on this tour and I'm so glad I did! The experience is enhanced by a passionate explanation of the history and what to look for.
Valentina was our guide. She explained every detail. This is a must if you want to truly learn about the basilica. Skip the line is also so worth it.
Our guide Paola gave us a wonderful and inspiring insight into the life and work of Gaudi. There are so many aspects to Gaudi's work and vision that you would not discover on your own.
Loved this tour. It was interesting. Alberto was our guide and he made this experience unique and memorable.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour of Sagrada Família with Maria! We highly recommend taking the tour with her. She made our visit worthwhile and inspiring.
He was very educated on the cathedral and gave us so many details I wouldn't have found out without the tour. I would absolutely recommend this tour and definitely with Albert.
Daria was the most patient and kind guide! She explained everything very well and made sure we were taken care of the whole time. Perfect ending to our trip.
We had a wonderful time learning to cook with Diana!! The explanations were crystal clear, the cooking was easy and obviously the food was wonderful. It was a lot of fun and a very relaxed environment.
The experience of cooking paella and crema Catalana was delicious and fun! Highly recommend! The chef was so friendly and made the preparation easy and enjoyable.
The cooking class was amazing from start to finish. And I absolutely loved the idea behind the social impact of this place. Cooking while supporting such a meaningful project made the experience even more special.
We spent two wonderful hours in the park. Our tour guide was amazing with so much information and passion for the creator of the park Gaudi.
Maria was absolutely fantastic! She shared her knowledge about Gaudí and Barcelona with great passion and made the experience both fun and informative. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to discover Park Güell in a unique and memorable way.
The place is unique and gorgeous and it was great to have a lot of insight into the genius of Gaudi and the goals of Guell. I highly recommend!
Awesome tour. It saved me time by allowing me to skip the long lines and understand the significance and inspiration behind Gaudi’s works. And Albert takes such amazing photos. So I have a private tour guide plus a photographer at the same time.
Our guide made the event a special experience for every one of us. We laughed a lot this evening! Super way to finish the busy tourist’s day in Barcelona!
Thomas was a great tour guide. We really enjoyed the tapas like the locals do and really felt the Barcelona culture through this experience.
Zeynep is a gem and a wonderful tour guide! The food was just delicious and generous servings of food and drinks!! Loved it!
Thomas is a great companion. We were more than satisfied, having everything from olives, patatas bravas, great ham, seafood to dessert.
Zeynep gave us a truly wonderful visit. Having the chance to see Casa Batlló with so few people around was incredibly special. I highly recommend this tour.
There was no one there and it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves. Cal was super knowledgeable and very kind, giving us lots of time for photos and looking around. It was magical.
Absolutely worth waking up early to have a private tour of the beautiful Casa Batlló in detail and without the hoards of tourists. The architecture, colors, and light were breathtaking — every corner reveals Gaudí’s genius.
Our guide explained Gaudí’s masterpieces and the city’s unique architecture. This tour gave us a deeper appreciation for the city’s beauty.
Our group loved this tour. We learned a lot and saw so many incredible and historical structures. I would recommend this tour to all visitors to Barcelona.
Zeynep was awesome! Her enthusiasm and knowledge was outstanding, and her passion for architecture reflected throughout the tour. As a bonus, she gave great restaurant recommendations.
A great tour of the markets of Barcelona with culinary tastings. Carlos, a gem of a tour guide, had some great stories and information throughout.
The tour was fantastic. Our guide Eoghan was knowledgeable, funny and gave wonderful insight into the food, culture and history we saw along the way. Would highly recommend.
We had a 3-hour local guided tour starting at Mercado de La Boqueria. The colours and smells are delightful. Perfectly paired with local wine. Best way to experience the sights, smells, tastes of Catalan gastronomy.
Perrine was a wonderful guide.
Moha was a fantastic tour guide. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and entertaining, giving us many insights about this beautiful church.
My husband and I very much enjoyed our tour with Tomas. He was knowledgeable and shared interesting information about Picasso which made the museum extra special! Tomas was very kind and easy to talk with about many topics, not just what he had planned for the tour which we really appreciated. We would highly recommend this tour!
Thomas was terrific ! ! He is a wonderful guide. great personality, easy to hear and shared many interesting stories. This tour shared a lot of great places and points of interest besides just markets. We were very pleased. The meeting place was easy to find and the confirmation emails were great too 5 stars
Great experience. Skip the line was well worth it. Albert was our guide. Very knowledgeable. Native of Barcelona with a ton of additional knowledge. Very much enjoyed!
Viator tour of Picasso Museum in Barcelona. Our guide, Marina, was lovely and friendly. She possessed so much information extending museum information as well as having additional visual aides that added so much to our tour. Highly recommend Booking with Viator for a no wait tour of the Picasso Museum.
Jose was a wonderful guide! Very friendly, thorough and full of so much knowledge. Thanks for a great tour.
Excelente tour with Jose! He educated me with thorough and enlightening details of this church. Much appreciated!
I tried to go on a tour to of Sagrada Familia 3 years ago but it was full. I was so grateful this tour was available because I came to Barcelona just to visit Sagrada Familia & Park Güell. Our guide was amazing.
Albert our tour guide from ExperienceFirst tours was EXCELLENT! He was very informative and entertaining. I highly recommend.
The tour with Alfonso was excellent. He explained the history of each market area we visited. Highly entertaining.
Jose, our guide, was just so fabulous! He resolved some technical problems in less than a minute. He knew every bit of the story of the church I loved hearing his explanation of why the columns are made of different kinds of stone. We came in the afternoon, which he said his best because a lot of tourists are not out for the 3 PM tour, so the crowds are smaller.
We went on a tour of the amazing Sagrada Familia, led by Gloria as our tour guide. Gloria was fantastic. She took the trouble to remember all our names, and made everyone welcome. She was incredibly knowledgeable about Gaudi and his vision, and the incredible detail of the Sagrada Familia. Would highly recommend Gloria and this tour.
This was one of my favourite tours in Spain. Our guide was knowledgeable and pointed out the deep symbolism of Gaudi's incredible work - which I would have missed otherwise. The tour was just short of 2 hours, after which we had time to still visit the museum and roam around at our leisure. I highly recommend this tour.
Allow extra time to spend in the church, it is amazing and should be one of the “Wonders of the World”…truly spectacular!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Gloria was a wonderful tour leader with a lot of energy and knowledge!
The tour was excellent and very informative. Tour guide Alberto was A+ and made it a great experience.
Great overall tour. Maria was super informative and accommodating. I liked that it was under 2 hours and you get time on your own to explore.
Daniela was a great guide. The church was beautiful and interesting. She explained the meaning of the outside of the church and inside very clearly. We learned so much and it was great to know the meaning behind the church's design.
Excellent tour with Albert. The basicilla speaks for itself, but Albert was an informative, whitty, and kind tour guide. He was compassionate and offered personal experiences and perspectives which made the tour enjoyable.
Alberto was amazing! He covered all the details and was very friendly. Glad we booked this or we wouldn’t have known what was happening lol
Stunning building Darya was an excellent knowledgable and enthusiastic tour guide. Many many facts. Would repeat
Truly wonderful experience!!!
Our group tour guide, Albert, was perfect. He was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and answered all questions. Very enthusiastic. This is a definite must tour when in Barcelona. So beautiful and mesmerising inside.
Perrine is a great tour guide - very knowledgeable, humorous, and full of energy. Really good vibes touring with her!
Daniela was outstanding in her explanation and knowledge. She answered all questions and was very pleasant with everyone.
José was great! Learned a lot about the history of the building with some jokes sprinkled in.
Ms. Daniela is an amazing tour guide! She is cheerful, communicative, quick-witted, and very well organized. She has extensive knowledge, is always happy to answer questions, and has a great sense of humor that makes every trip even more enjoyable. Greetings from Poland to Ms. Daniela!
The Sagrada Família was a feast for the eyes. It was also very crowded and so it was amazing having Daria there to guide us through with zero line. She was engaging, very patient with children who were part of another family that joined the tour group, and made the whole experience accessible and interesting. With or without a guide, this place is amazing. With a guide like Daria, it was next level, no stress and just a beautiful experience.
We didn't skip many lines, our the guide (Daniela) was great. She presented all kinds of interesting details
We adored our personal tour with the amazing Lynette. She was a passionate and knowledgeable tour guide with a wealth of information and excitement for the architecture. We would love to do another tour with her! 100% recommend!
Maria was a wonderful tour guide! Knowledgeable and witty, we would definitely recommend this tour. The duration of the tour was also perfect and her pace was spot on.
Valentina was amazing! She had a lot of great knowledge about Gaudi and the history of the Sagrada Família.
We enjoyed our Sagrada Tour very much thanks to Gloria. It would have been otherwise a very hectic day and it would not have been as pleasant to learn about the details without her fun and interesting explanations. Tour was well paced. Highly recommend. No lines, all smiles, laughter even though it was a very hot day.
The tour was fantastic! The meetup location was super easy to find, skipping the line was worth the price, and Maria was top notch! The amount of time for the tour was perfect - not too long and not too short. Maria was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and kind.
We enjoyed our tour of the Sagrada Familia. Maria, our tour guide, was very organized and a great communicator. She gave a wonderful explanation of every little detail in the Sagrada Familia. And really curated the tour and made it feel like she was taking us on a story.
We had a Barcelona market tour with Perrine. It was an amazing experience thanks to her really informative and passionate lead of the tour.
Our guide Perrine did a fantastic job!! All of us would give her the best grade possible. Thank you.
Perrine is nice and knowledgeable and very active.
Markets run through. A basic intro to see where the markets are but only in the St. Joseph market we had a few minutes to visit a few stalls with the guide and taste a couple items. Then 10 minutes to shop before racing through the streets to the next destinations. Perrine was very informative and easy to interact with.
Perrine did an excellent job showing us around the city. She was very insightful.
José was a wonderful tour guide. His knowledge and relaxed nature made the tour a great balance. He knew when to provide insight and when to let the group take in the beauty. I would recommend booking a time slot near the middle of the day (1:30pm) in order to see the sunlight travel through the stain glass windows on either side of the Basilica.
Tour guide was great!! Absolutely recommend. Easy walk and great history. The guide was very accommodating.
Valentina was a fabulous guide. Gave us a wonderful overview of Picasso’s life, artwork, and area where he lived.
The guide was incredible! He explained everything well and the experience was great! Having done a couple of guided tours before, this was a good one.
Could not be better! On time, smooth, great knowledge. If you are looking to learn and truly experience Sagrada Familia, this is the way to go.
Definitely going with a tour guide is the way to go! Got so much more information than had we just went to watch.
Wonderful 2 hour walking tour of Barcelona markets with Eoghan. We sampled foods and learned so much about the history of Barcelona and Spain. He even gave us several restaurant/bar/dessert recommendations for us to try! Thank you so much!
Thomas was the best tour guide
Lynnette was wonderful and thoughtful. She did a great job of helping me understand the relationship between Catalonia and greater Spain, and to appreciate the rich history of Barcelona. The tour was informative and also provided a nature oasis.
Very educational! A few lite bite treats while learning and seeing lots of interesting history. Tour guide Eoghan was great and super nice!
Rachelle was Very knowledgeable and very nice.
Eoghan is a tall, handsome, gentleman.
It was a very nice experience. Our guide was very kind and explained everything in details.
I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Our guide, Geraldo loves showing people around the basilica and sharing interesting facts and many details of this beautiful edifice! We couldn’t have asked for a more appropriate, thoughtful and inspiring guide for our visit to Sagrada Família.
Thomas is a great guide. Wonderful. Super accommodating and informative
Thomas was a great guy. Would drink a beer with 👍

My wife and I had an amazing and informative Barcelona Markets Tour with our guide, Owen.

José was a very good tour guide. His knowledge and humor made the tour informative and enjoyable.
Parrine did a wonderful job explaining with enthusiasm the history and culture surrounding the markets. She was very easy to understand. We loved her energy and although she may not originally be from Spain, she has captured Spanish pride and culture beautifully. She has relationship with market vendors which allowed for some yummy tastings of some of the market offerings. Definitely worth it!
Wonderful visit of the sagrada
Definitely recommend. Able to see places you normally don’t get to see. Highlight was the Olympic Diving Arena which also serve as a bar. Must see.
Rachelle was a great tour guide, very knowledgeable and friendly, willing to answer any questions and took our tour at a good pace , had lots of good tips for other places to visit in Barcelona too - highly recommend

We did the Picasso walking tour and museum and had a great time. Eoghan was knowledgeable and entertaining, easily holding everyone’s attention and encouraging group participation.

In addition to being knowledgeable about Picasso, he’s also an expert in all things Barcelona and beyond and had many recommendations to share!

Our guide Eogan was knowledgeable and helpful with our group. He gave us an insight into Picasso and his early life in Barcelona and the influences that brought us the art.
This is an architectural tour led by a very knowledgeable guide her name is Linnette who is an Architect. The walking tour consisted of me and my husband and Linnette started the tour from a very nice building which once back in early 1900 was a hospital. We walked together for nearly two hours and she explained to us the history and the design of about 6 buildings designed by three main Architects including Gaudi who all lived and worked in Barcelona in the early 1900. The buildings we got informed about included amongst other Casa Batlo and La Petrera. We strongly recommend the tour !!
We had an amazing time with Zeynep, she gave us a great tour, very knowledgeable and full of fun facts and great energy. Really lovely walk! Response published
We had an amazing time with Zeynep, she gave us a great tour, very knowledgeable and full of fun facts and great energy. Really lovely walk!
Had a lovely time walking around the markets of Barcelona. Zeynep, our tour guide, was super knowledgeable and told us lots interesting facts about the markets. I liked how the tour was centred around the markets but also included a lot of info about the history of the city, its architecture and how it’s expanded over time.
Thomas was perfect blend of facts and entertainment, sharing some insights that most Picasso fans don’t know.
Thomas is amazing. He showed us AROUND Barcelona and gave a very fun and accessible history of Picasso. THANK YOU THOMAS
I highly recommend this walking tour to learn about Picasso‘s early life and development into the world renowned artist he became. It includes his early formative years attending art school where his father taught and significant relationships with other artists in Spain and France. It covered his high and low points in life and did not shy away from his time spent in bars and brothels that inspired him significantly.
Perrine was excellent in covered all aspects of Picasso‘s life in a tour of the city showing us everywhere he frequented
Very well orgnized tour. Lot of interesting facts to learn about the history of the construction. When tour has finished, we could go back to the church and spend as much as time we needed to take pictures, sit down, and enjoy the atmosphere. Daria was a lovely and very knowledgeable tour guide.
This was a fun & interesting tour! Our tour guide Eoghan was so knowledgeable about Picasso, not only about his life but also lots of fun facts about some of his paintings and the neighborhoods where he was a young artist. The Picasso Museum was wonderful - a must see in Barcelona! We didn’t do the optional wine and food tasting but did visit Els Quatre Gats for some delicious tapas and beer!
Eoghan was perfect and very explainable.
Eoghan was a great tour guide, super friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our tour.
Incredible experience. My tour guide, Lynn, was extremely knowledgeable and well-versed in Barcelona architecture. Not only did I learn SO MUCH, the conversation was engaging and thoughtful. It was my favorite part of my vacation! 10/10 recommend. (Especially if you want to see the major landmarks without spending an entire day - we finished in under 2 hours). Note: exterior only. You do not go inside of the buildings with this tour.

Eoghan was our tour guide and he is the man. He was extremely friendly and interactive. Information was very interesting and detailed. Hands down one of my favorite tours. Enjoyed the fact that he brought us to places that let us sample the culture while also giving great recommendations on different shops. Give the man a raise, he deserves it.
Eoghan was a wonderful tour guide. Very detailed and patient with answering any questions. I enjoyed this tour. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the food markets in Barcelona.
Eoghan was an amazing tour guide- the best I would say! He was so enthusiastic which allowed us tourists to be so engaged. We learned so much about the history of the food markets and the food culture/authentic culture of Cataluyuna! Everyone in our tour group really enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend this tour with Eoghan!
The Montjuic Walking tour was a fantastic experience. We had a beautiful day, which was perfect for the winding walk down the mountain. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable and provided such interesting commentary on all the sites along the way. The guide was relaxed and personable, so we had a lot of opportunities to ask questions and get as much as possible out of the tour. Loved it!
Our group loved this tour. Our tour guide was peppy and full of information about a lot of beautiful buildings in Barcelona. We covered a lot of ground during the tour, so we learned a lot and saw so many incredible and historical structures. I would recommend this tour to all visitors to Barcelona.
This was our last tour during our 6 days in Barcelona, and it was another outstanding experience. We enjoyed the commentary and information provided by our tour guide who ensured we covered as much ground as possible. We had so many opportunities to sample some of the goods in the markets and then learned a lot about the gothic quarter and old town. Definitely worth the time for this tour - especially with this guide!
Cal was great! A relaxed and lovely tour. We learned a lot about Picasso and his life in Spain, and a lot about the Spanish buildings here.
Very friendly guide Owen speaking pretty good English language . You get a lot of information of the growing up of Picasso
I want to take a moment to recognize the outstanding support I received from Eoghen (“Owen”). The tips, ideas, and guidance he provided were not only helpful — they were genuinely next-level. His depth of knowledge, clarity of thinking, and ability to quickly understand what I needed set him apart from anyone I’ve worked with before. What impressed me most was not just what he knew, but how he delivered it. He was thoughtful, strategic, patient, and incredibly effective at translating complex concepts into practical, actionable advice. His personality made the entire experience enjoyable and collaborative, and his professionalism made it easy to trust his recommendations. Simply put, Owen was exceptional. He added real value, and I’m grateful for the experience.
Amazing tour! Purenne was so energetic and knowledgeable — she was super willing to answer questions! Was awesome to see so much modern architecture and hear the story of the three architects interweaving
