Petra was wonderful! Loved all the history she was able to give with the areas and architecture El Born had many local shops and places to eat

Mariah was an amazing tour guide! She was incredibly personable, welcoming, and knowledgeable about the history of Spain, especially Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. She made the history so interesting and engaging, sharing stories and details that really brought the area to life. You can genuinely tell how much she loves her job and has a passion for Spain and its history. Her enthusiasm was contagious and made the experience even more enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend taking a tour with Mariah to anyone visiting Barcelona!

★★★★★ — Sara deserves her own statue in Barcelona. I genuinely don’t know where to begin. Five stars feels almost insulting. If Google allowed me to give 700 stars, I would still feel like I was doing Sara a disservice. I’ve travelled, I’ve eaten, I’ve met some wonderful people, but nothing could have prepared me for the absolute force of nature that is Sara. This wasn’t a food tour. This was a culinary pilgrimage. A spiritual awakening. A masterclass in hospitality delivered by a woman who, quite frankly, should be considered a Spanish national treasure. Sara’s knowledge of Barcelona, its food, its culture and its history is nothing short of supernatural. Her enthusiasm is infectious, her personality is magnificent, and her ability to make you feel like you’ve been lifelong friends within minutes should be studied by scientists. At one point I genuinely questioned whether the city of Barcelona had been built specifically to provide a backdrop for Sara’s greatness. The food? Extraordinary. The atmosphere? Electric. The guiding? A performance worthy of a standing ovation at the Royal Albert Hall. I arrived a hungry tourist and left a fundamentally changed human being. I would trust Sara with my life, my children’s education, and potentially the leadership of a small European nation. Barcelona is lucky to have her. Spain should be proud of her. UNESCO should seriously consider getting involved. If you’re visiting Barcelona and don’t book a food tour with Sara, you’ve made an enormous mistake. 11/10. Would cross oceans to do it again.

Sara was absolutely fabulous!!!

What a fabulous walk. Very informative. We loved Lydia. She was brilliant. Relaxed and amusing. We were a small group. Lydia gave us some great recommendations too. I highly reccomend.

Lydia, you were amazing! We learnt so much and it was a lovely introduction for the start of our trip! Thank you for all the recommendations for the rest of our stay

We had a great tour learning about the rich history of Barcelona with Daniel Sadaba. He even went over time to help explain the significance of POI in and around the city. I highly recommend booking this tour with Daniel as your guide.

A special mention to Lidia, our wonderful guide through Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter. Warm, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable, she brought the ancient streets and hidden corners to life, revealing stories and details we would never have discovered on our own. She made exploring this fascinating part of Barcelona such a pleasure.

Our guide, Sarah, has good knowledge and a great personality but the Tapas good was average quality and small

Ezceptional and great experience, I would recommend this tour to. Friend and a relative. I had a great time with my partner in Barcelona’s

Lidia was a fantastic guide. Fun, informative, interesting stories and details.

Outstanding tour guide. She is an architect which is important to the history of the buildings and squares.

Excellent tour! Would do it over if had the chance

Lydia was a fantastic guide. She had lots of interesting stories about El Born & the Gothic Quarter. I highly recommend

Great tour very knowledgable

Jordan was an exceptional story teller as he included factual and mythical anecdotes to bring the El Born and Gothic areas of Barcelona alive. We enjoyed learning about Jordan and his journey to Barcelona as he also included interesting experiences such as a spontaneous visit by the Obamas to his neighborhood one morning! I already plan to include this tour as a “must see” to others who will be visiting soon. My only recommendation is that when he begins the tour he uses his excellent communication skills to inform the scattered participants that he has arrived. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Jordan did an amazing job. He kept the kept the tour interesting and fun was very easy to understand. We learned so much. It is an awesome opportunity to learn a lot about Barcelona.

Jordan was great, made the tour experience one of kind. Jordan is a rockstar of a tour guide. Give that man a raise!

Jordan was wonderful! One of the best tour guides I’ve ever experienced. He gave a great overview of the history of the city and then very interesting stories and details and was funny and personable. A very enjoyable tour. Would highly recommend.

Jordan guided us through the Gothic Quarter & Born with an incredible amount of energy and excitement. A ton of fun facts and by the end of it I legitimately only wanted more. Two hours absolutely flew by. We’d definitely book him for longer next time!

Jordan was amazing!! Very sweet and friendly man, interesting to talk with.

Daniel was absolutely amazing on the Gothic Quarters tour. He was a wealth of information and was patient and kind and very easy to understand. Highly recommend taking a tour with Carpe Diem and Daniel as your guide. Wendy from Florida :)
