A really interesting and informative tour with a knowledgeable guide. Lili really personalised our tour and took us to places that we wouldn’t have found on our own as well as to some of the iconic buildings. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for Barcelona and Gaudi in particular was extensive.

Great tour! Lili was very informative, fun, and also very patient with our ten month old. Definitely recommend
Our tour guide Stefano was very well educated provided a super tour including native tapas, hidden historical bars and art. Stephan included beer, wine, and a local “vermut ” bar. All of the places were very small. There were no other tour groups. In fact, no tour groups of more than eight could even fit in these places. We were able to interact with our guide instead of being led by a guide. Stefano answered every single question we had about history, food, and the Barcelona culture. When we asked his opinion on how the local population felt about certain subjects, he answered those with thoughtful observations.
Lili was an amazing tour guide, giving us a great historical and cultural sense of the city, along with how it’s changed throughout the years. She answered all our questions regarding architecture, historical significance, food, and so much more. We highly recommend anyone traveling to Barcelona (especially for the first time) to book a tour here!
Fantastic tour experience. We loved learning about the history and art of the city. Our tour guide, Lili, was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We also liked how she started the tour and asked us what we know about the city and what we had hoped to see. I feel like she made the tour very personal to us.
This tour did not have any audio and needs it ! We had to huddle around to hear and therefore couldn't listen and take photos or move away at all and it was information heavy. The tapas bar at the end was a long walk ! And we were served one bowl of square chips with maionasse between 2 - even though some people left early and therefore she could have still purchased and serves their tappas for some variety. I can get chips at home. The tour was "ok" I would try a different one next time. Too long spent at Leggo Land and too long explaining things that I couldn't hear and so we left early also and didn't see the last two places. I booked this tour especially for the hospital but ended up choosing not to see it because of such a long walk to the tapas bar.
Fantastic tour! As the only ones doing it, it was wonderful how Lili adapted it to our families interests. So knowledgeable and passionate. Very grateful for the experience, ngā mihi nui.
LOVED this tour!! Lili our tour guide was excellent. Engaging and full of wonderful information and stories. I have visited Barcelona many times and although I have enjoyed it, today I fell in love with the city.
This was fantastic, I learnt so much that I would not have known. Would recommend this to anyone to get the most of their experience.
Shefano was SO fun … just amazing! I highly recommend this urban adventures . Every tour we have taken with UA has been so fantastic. The guides are like no others!
The tour with Lili was very enjoyable and informative. I loved how clearly she explained the history of Barcelona and then how the modernist era influenced the development and expansion of Barcelona from the 1880s onwards. Lily found us the best spots to enjoy views of the Gaudi buildings and other family Casas and pointed out finer details and the underlying explanations which added so much colour. Lily was also very friendly and answered my many questions!
A great tour with Lili who provided us with so Much information about the Gaudi architecture and modernist influences in Barcelona. The tapas and drink afterwards was in a fantastic little street bar and restaurant right near Sagrada Familia and was an excellent way to end a great and fascinating insight into this topic.
Very easy and enjoyable walk to see the incredible architecture of Gaudi. Anna was an excellent host and very engaging and knowledgeable. Low stress and allowed time to look around. The tapas at end of the tour was a lovely bonus.
Anna was amazing and so knowledgeable!! It was a fantastic tour and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone. Had to find our way back via metro but no trouble for us
