I enthusiastically recommend Go Local Barcelona & Elvira for a private cultural tour of Barcelona. Elvira is passionate about showing her hometown to visitors. For our tour Elvira took us on a walking tour of the Gothic Quarter and other areas that were part of the original settlement. Our tour was full of interesting sites and experiences. As a private tour Elvira tailored the content to what we were most interested in seeing. We even did some shopping at small shops owned & operated by local artisans. Overall it was a wonderful way to spend a day in Barcelona. We will hire Elvira again the next time we are in Barcelona.
Elvira was amazing! She was knowledgeable, interesting, perfectly paced, and a joy to be with. Her understanding of Barcelona history is incredible, and she has a beautiful way of sharing. We enjoyed a “insiders only” tour and a lovely tapas lunch. She shared her knowledge of local food and drink, as well architecture, art, history, etc. A lovely experience all around!! I highly recommend!
What a wonderful way to learn the history of Barcelona and see the sites. My husband and I love history and were so glad to add this to our anniversary trip. She quickly learned things we liked and added it to the sights. She also was kind enough to take pictures of us at the several locations.
We spenr 4 full days with Elvira We learnt essential information from all the main atractions, and had 2 day trips: Dali & Girona & Montserrat with winery. By the end of the trip we felt sad to say good bye to our guide ,Elvira.
We had a great time with Alejandro! We had brought our baby with us and Alejandro did a great job choosing places that were easy to access and had great food. Would definitely recommend!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our private tour with Alejandro. Alejandro's knowledge of the local area was wonderful and we really enjoyed visiting the Gothic Quarter. We also enjoyed seeing the back roads of Barcelona that tourists may not normally see. It was lovely to see Barcelona from Alejandro's local perspective and learn some of the history of this wonderful city. We also enjoyed having beers from a hole in the wall. Thank you very much Alejandro for a fun and informative tour.

Can you give more than 5 stars? The tour with Alejandro was amazing. He customIzed every bit of the tour the entire time. Our first stop was the market and when we wanted to taste different local flavors there he helped us find all the best stops. As we walked around the Gothic and El Born areas he added in a lot of historical context as well. It was the perfect blend of food, history, and good company along the way. And as a bonus he left us with a lot of suggestions of places to eat and explore for the rest of our time in Barcelona and beyond in Spain. Highly recommended and a great way to start your Barcelona exploration.
What an AMAZING tour of Barcelona! Not only was Elvira knowledgeable and friendly, but also so accommodating to me and my family that included 3 annoying kids! She made it fun, educational and interesting. We got to experience Barcelona through her eyes and she took us to places that we wouldn’t be able to go or know about if it wasn’t because of her. We were hanging out with the locals! After two days of touring, it was hard to say goodbye. Thank you Elvira for making it magical and for the great memories that will last a lifetime!
We had an amazing experience with Alex on our Barcelona Walking Tour. It’s was so much fun and we learned a lot about the history of Barcelona in a few hours.

She made my one day in Barcelona a great day and showed me sighgts I would not be able to see on my onw. Furthermore,he shared many advice about how to move around. Plus, I didn’t realize I needed to get a ticket and book for Parc Guell. Thanks to her, I didn't miss what I had plan to do!

Title: With Elvira we discovered the Christmas local spirit and some of the city's most important buildings. She is the best guide we could find, very knowledgeable and friendly.
This is the tour to go on if you’re in Barcelona for Christmas! Elvira gave us a wealth of information about the local Christmas traditions, the history of Gothic quarter and Gaudi. My children absolutely loved the Christmas light show at the end of the tour.
I loved this tour! It covered everything we wanted, the guide customized the route and she was easy to reach and flexible with last minute changes. We would definitely book again with Barcelona Soul Tours!
Elvira not only explained the history of Barcelona but also the main Christmas traditions. We went though beautiful Christmas lights roads and hallways, the tour went very fast and we had a lot of fun learning. Thank you!
Elvira was a fantastic guide: kind, approachable, and very fun. She made the tour through the Gothic Quarter enjoyable and interesting, and she also gave us very good gastronomic tips for the area.
The experience with Elvira has been fantastic. We took a tour through the Gothic Quarter and El Born, and discovered many new little things about Barcelona. He also took us to two very delicious and authentic places for dinner. 100% recommended.
We took a guided tour of Barcelona, traveling through the Gothic Quarter, El Raval, and part of Ciutat Vella, and the experience was fantastic. It was a very interesting way to discover the city from another perspective. The guide explained the history of each area in a very enjoyable way, mixing historical facts, curiosities, and anecdotes that made the tour very entertaining. The pace of the tour was very pleasant, without rushing, with time to ask questions and enjoy the walk. Without a doubt, a highly recommended experience for those who want to get to know Barcelona in a more authentic and complete way. We especially liked being able to walk through streets with so much history and better understand the evolution of Barcelona, its contrasts, and the personality of each neighborhood. In addition to the historical tour, she also gave us a gastronomic tour of some of the most authentic places in Barcelona. It was a very special part of the experience, because we were able to get to know the city better through its gastronomy as well.
I want to recommend this visit, they came to pick us up at the hotel and the visit was very enjoyable and informative, just what we needed! Elvira very nice and very professional
