We had a great day with Montse!!! we learned so many interesting things as we toured the Born district and we loved the Picasso museum! Went to a couple of really authentic top places.
We had such a great day with Montse. We covered a lot of the Born district, ate some wonderful very local food and loved the museum!
Truly authentic! I truly felt like I was tasting and seeing what the local experience day to day. Our tour guide was fabulous and was more than willing to answer our questions. I would highly recommend this tour!
Stephanie was terrific. The museum is extremely interesting, with a focus on a combination of early Picasso and his study of Velazquez’s La Meninas. Walking through the Gothic quarter was really interesting and the tapas was great.
Had an amazing tour Guide Montse! She was so knowledgeable of all the great eateries, art, and history of Barcelona! She went above and beyond to ensure our group had a great time and even stayed longer with us to show us more great sights! Highly recommend her tour guide services.
Monsterat was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable
Montse was a gem, a highlight of our experience. Her deep understanding of the Catalan history, and how it relates to present day reality is unmatched. We thoroughly enjoyed having her as our guide. I'd recommend her for any solo or groups. Bravo, Montse!
Our tour guide, Montserrat, gave our group a true five-star experience. She was fun, kind, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable. She did a wonderful job keeping our group of 15 friends interested and excited to learn more throughout the tour. The restaurants and shops she took us to were fantastic. A special highlight was visiting the family-owned restaurant El Xampanyet, the food and cava were absolutely out of this world. Thank you, Montserrat, for your kindness and for sharing your love of the Catalan region and its people with us. We can’t wait to come back and visit again! 😊
Stephanie our guide was wonderful. Very knowledgeable.
We had an excellent tour with Montse She is very knowledgeable with the history art and food and and an enthusiastic guide who added a few extra experiences to our tour
Stephanie was very knowledgable and enthusiastic during our tour. She is a true gem with advanced degrees in Art History! She was warm and funny as well :) A great mix! The tapas place she took us to was first rate and she navigated us getting in during peak hours beautifully. ❤️
We had a wonderful tour with Montes today of the historical buildings and areas of the city Gotic, El Boro, as well as many others! We enjoyed many different tapas featuring Catalan specialties and those from the Basque area. Our time in the Picasso museum was thoughtful and we saw the art with a new viewpoint after discussing Picasso and cultural history and Art with Montes. We would highly recommend her whimsical and knowledgeable tour. Many thanks!!
Excellent tour guide, friendly, great personality and very knowledgeable. Food and drinks were outstanding.
We were late due to road construction but we kept in contact and Stephanie waited for us patiently and with understanding. She tailored our tour as we had seen some features the day before. She was very personable, spoke clear English and was very keen to please us. Great knowledge of the history & architecture of Barcelona and delivered it in an interesting way.
Montse was very informative. It’s clear she knew a lot about the city and was very passionate about it. I could tell she loved sharing the information. She took us around the city, educating us about its history, pointing out specific architecture, and explaining the culture. She took us to the Picasso museum which was a very interesting experience, as well as taking us to a local restaurant with some of the best food I’ve ever had. She was very kind and helped us when Spanish needed to be spoken. Overall, the tour with her was a great experience.
We had the absolute best experience! It was just my son and I with our guide Montse so it was like a private tour. Montse is extremely knowledgeable and her love for her city shines through! Would 100% do again!
Montse led a great tour with me and my son. It was like walking around Barcelona with a very knowledgeable friend you have known for a long time. She took some wonderful pictures to help us remember our visit/tour. She explained regional differences in Tapas & showed us key pieces of Barcelona history including where Picasso lived and gained inspiration. The museum was great, viewing the progression of the famed Picasso. Wonderful tour, would recommend!
Montse was the perfect tour guide for visitors to Barcelona. A Catalan local, she expertly explains the history of Catalan, the evolution of Barcelona, & provides great insight on Tapas & its regional differences. The Picasso museum is a highlight of the trip, showcasing his evolution & various art mediums. I highly recommend her tour through the city & let her guide you through the various jewels of Barcelona.
Montse gave us an informative and educational tour which included tapas for lunch and the Picasso Museum. Her love of the city and culture of Barcelona was apparent and that enthusiasm transferred to us as well. Montse gave us current views and a wealth of historical background that enhanced our view of Barcelona. A wonderful day!
Monste was amazing! So friendly, fun and knowledgeable. Next time we’re back in BCN we will definitely do this tour again.
Montse was amazing. We had no trouble finding her at our meeting place. She was delightful. She walked us through many historical areas and her narration was great. She also took us to the oldest chocolate store in the city, which was a treat in itself. The Picasso Museum was amazing. Picasso determined which paintings and drawings would be displayed, starting with one of his first portraits he entered into an art contest at the age of 14. Lunch was probably our favorite activity of the day. She took us to a city market - fresh fish, meats, sea salts, etc. and the tapas restaurant was within the market. It was fun to sit among the locals and dine, and it was so good! Montse took us to different booths and made it possible for us to sample some of the wonderful offerings We ended our day with cold drinks and a fond farewell. Thank you, Montse!
What a wonderful tour! Our guide Montse was super knowledgeable about the Gothic district and about Picasso. She is passionate about helping others learn about the wonderful history surrounding these topics. She also was very interested in learning about us and catering to our desires - whether it be about food, art or culture. What a wonderful day!
We had a wonderful walking and tapas tour with Montse. We found her knowledge of Barcelona’s history, culture, architecture, people and cuisine to be outstanding. She loves Barcelona and wishes to share her enthusiasm for the city with all her clients. Supurb!
Stephanie was an outstanding tour guide! She provided my husband and I plenty of time to enjoy the Picasso Museum. The art was very lovely. After, we engulfed in delicious tapas and drinks. The best I ever had, honestly😋! Stephanie took her time to explain historical monuments, churches and architecture which makes Barcelona the city it is today. Stephanie had deep knowledge about the culture, food and history; her expertise made the trip worthwhile. Stephanie is a gracious, kind and hilarious trip advisor. We humbly thank her for making a lifelong memory.

We did a private tour with Stephanie. I intentionally planned it out for our last day in Barcelona for a private guide tailor to our interests. And WOW did Stephanie exceed expectations! She’s wildly intelligent and exuberant, keeping everything at a challenging thought provoking pace.

Miguel was a great tour guide. He loves Barcelona and was eager to tell us all about the city! It was fun to learn about what it is to live there. The places we went to eat were so much better than the ones we had gone to earlier in our trip. Fun evening! Oh, and the Picasso Museum was good too!
I was lucky to have Montse as a guide. She is very personable and takes care of your needs. She clearly loves what she does. A great tour. Thank you very much for an unforgetable experience.
Our guide Monse was very personable, knowledgeable and informative. Truly enjoys what she does and offers insightful windows into this beautiful city. We were fortunate to spend this time with her. The tour took us to some amazing markets, beautiful side streets, art alcoves and of course the amazing Picasso museum. The various places we went for food were also quite good! Overall, a great experience.
We had the most wonderful time on our private tour with Montse! She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, culture, food, and activities. We went to the Picasso museum, ate delicious tapas and enjoyed local wine. The tour was a fun and unique way to experience new areas of Barcelona we otherwise wouldn’t have. Thank you Montse for the memories!
