Jenny was the perfect guide! She was very personable and knowledgeable. My friend and I already had a couple of pre-planned tours scheduled with Viking and Jenny crafted the perfect tour for us so there was duplication. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on our private tour. You can’t go wrong with Jenny.
Roman the driver and Jenny the guide were excellent! I have a mobility issue and they were very helpful and accommodating! Roman was an expert driver. Driving around the city. Jenny was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable! We highly recommend them!
We booked a 4-hour private driver experience in Barcelona, and it proved to be an incredibly efficient way to cover major ground in comfort. Our driver arrived right on time directly in front of our hotel and handled the city traffic seamlessly all day. Though guides were unfortunately fully booked for our specific date and time, our driver was more than accommodating when we decided to customize our itinerary on the fly. He took us to every single point of interest we wanted to hit and waited patiently at every stop for as long or as short as we needed, giving us complete flexibility to explore at our own pace. A quick tip for future travelers: If you’re young, mobile, and comfortable navigating, you could easily get around via cabs or rideshares for a fraction of the cost. However, if you want a high-end experience where you can seamlessly hop in and out of your own private van without waiting on transportation, this is worth every penny for the absolute ease and convenience!
What a wonderful visit in Barcelona. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable & very flexible. We had a blast
Albert is a terrific guide! He took us all around Barcelona and passed on a wealth of knowledge. We learned so much about this beautiful city today as well as its vibrant history. We hit all the highlights. This was our first visit and we will leave feeling we have missed nothing!
Jenny was exceptional, taking care of everything, then some. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing trip. Sheri (?) the driver was also excellent.
This was an amazing tour of the Highlights of Barcelona (excluding Sagrada Família which we did separately). Our tour guide Jenny was excellent and managed to share her commentary between 2 vans. They were also very flexible in terms of timing and pickup. Made our Barcelona trip even more special.
Albert was very knowledgeable, professional and thorough in his tour. He gave unique and informative insight to local life in Barcelona. Would highly recommend him to anyone.
We had Jenny as our guide and she was wonderful and showed us all around Barcelona and was very informative. We had a great day in a terrific city!
Our private tour in Barcelona with William was amazing. We only had four hours, but we saw all the major sites in the city. It was a great foundation and made the remainder of our time in Barcelona much more easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend this group.
Albert is an excellent tour guide my wife really enjoyed our one day trip with him and his driver. We were even able to educate Albert when we visited the old Jewish synagogue in Barcelona.
Albert was a wonderful guide. We really appreciated being picked up at the ship’s port due to mobility issues.
Albert was a professional, knowledgeable tour guide. His car is clean and comfortable. He worked with us to accommodate our preferences and timing. We have such a great impression of Barcelona from this tour. We wish he could be our guide in other cities. Very positive!
Excellent tour from Albert! Love all the sites and explanation as he knew everything about Barcelona with style!
Hiring Albert is a great way to see Barcelona! He is very knowledgeable and experienced in guiding one around his city. We felt we got a wonderful overview of Barcelona. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him!
It was a terrific overview of the city of Barcelona! Albert was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and very helpful about things to do and areas of Barcelona. We intend to tell our friends who are coming to Barcelona to choose Albert!
To be sure where to meet with driver and be sure that Viator can help if you are stranded Also confirm that you are in the right pick up place otherwise no luck
The tour guide was very knowledgeable, accommodating and professional. He tailored the tour to focus on things we enjoy seeing
If you want a private tour of Barcelona, Albert is your city tour guide. Albert is by far, the very best person we could have had! He found us wandering the airport, dropped our baggage off at the hotel, and gave us an amazing 6+ hour tour of the beautiful city of Barcelona. His car was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Albert has a wonderful personality, is very knowledgeable, and has an excellent speaking voice so we could understand and appreciate all the sites he showed us. My wife, Pat wanted me to add that Albert opened doors for us, made sure we had waters for hydration, and is handsome as well! We will not hesitate to call Albert next time we come to Barcelona! Thank you Albert, we are so grateful that you made our 50th Anniversary trip so special! Jim & Pat
Our guide Albert was excellent. Great communication before and during our tour. He made fabulous stops, explaining history and architecture as we drove, as well.
Imran was an excellent driver, very accommodating to our speed and limitations. He pointed out many highlights and we made all the stops that the guided tour made. We really wanted to stop at a tapas restaurant and enjoy some sangria while in Spain. Perfect choice. Never felt rushed. We enjoyed our private tour and highly recommend it. Love Barcelona.
Albert was enthusiastic and very knowledgable. He was attentive to our needs and even walked 10 minutes back to get the car while we waited in the shade. Highly recommend.
Very accommodating with mobility issues for my wife. Great explanation of the sights. Excellent English and easy to understand
The tour is advertised as 4 to 6 hours. Ours started at 10:00AM and ended precisely at 2:00PM. It was on a busy Sunday. There was a 10k run and the Olympic Stadium was closed due to a match. The driver, who was excellent, got to us at 10:00 but we had a 15-minute walk to his car because of parking/street disruptions caused by the 10k run. Traffic was heavy wherever we went. What we saw was great, but we did not see many of the items listed on the tour. The most disappointing part of the tour was that we never made it to Sagrada Família. We only got photos from afar. We would not recommend this tour.
Alberto did an excellent job taking us around the city in his Mercedes SUV. He speaks good English. He gave us a wonderful history of the area and showed us the sights that we wanted to see. He was able to answer our questions and was very personable. I would use him again and I highly recommend him.
We were able to see many sights in Barcelona in a small amount of time. Albert was a wonderful guide with great details about f the history and sights of the city.
Albert provided a comprehensive tour of Barcelona. He is incredibly knowledgeable and very friendly. I will recommend him to all my friends!
A good tour of Barcelona for a new visitor with little knowledge of this city. Some knowledge of Gaudi the great architect will add to your enjoyment.
Fantastic way to see Barcelona on a tight schedule Albert was very knowledgeable & accommodating to our requests for particular sites…. Highly recommend
The most memorable part of my self tour was the amazing sight of the La Familia Sagrada. To behold such a magnificent structure that is still being built is unbelievable!
I and my sister-in-law (both elderly) visited Barcelona for a cruise and engaged Albert's company to take us from our hotel to the cruise ship at the start of the cruise and again to pick us up following the cruise for a short tour of Barcelona and then to the airport. We could not have been happier with Albert's services and attention, from the booking process right through to his farewell hug at the airport. He advised us that he is currently having difficulties, as are most of the private driver companies in Barcelona, with the taxi drivers trying to block competition from private operators, who need a special licence to enter the port area. Despite these difficulties, Albert was able to organise a licensed driver to take us to the ship, and he and a driver picked us up after the cruise. Albert was most obliging, taking us wherever we wanted to go, including stopping for water and then the best coffee I'd had since before the cruise (ship coffee is always awful!). He was very knowledgeable about Barcelona and the highlight for me was a revisit of Sagrada Familia, and a first view of Casa Batllo. We felt entirely safe and cared for by Albert, who even sent a message to check that we had arrived home safely - a true gentleman!
Driver was friendly, prompt, and knowledgeable! We only had a few hours to see all the sites and he did a great job of getting us around!
Albert was our private driver in Barcelona for 2 days and was exceptional. He is knowledgeable, very friendly, an excellent driver, courteous and caring! He took us everywhere we wanted and set our itinerary precisely. Thank you, Albert!!
Highly recommend a tour with Albert. He is very knowledgeable and responds quickly. Unfortunately we had limited time due to our travel plans but Albert made the most of our experiences at Park Guell and Sagrada Familia. Wish we had more time to spend but definitely planning a return trip in the future and will enlist his services again! John and Gail
I booked this because of the excellent reviews. The driver was 5 min late picking us up. He didn’t speak good English. He took us to one place, it was a look out of some sort. I asked what this is and he stated “beautiful”. We went to the second place with no discussion. When we asked him a question he didn't understand. We went to the second stop. A house. The line to get in was long. I didn’t know what it was and he really pushed us to go inside. We didn’t want to as the line was super long. We believe he wanted us to go inside so they would tell us what it was as he wasn’t able to. So we finally went and waited in line for a bit. After a few minutes we dropped out of line as this was a private tour and this isn’t something we wanted to do. Went back to the van and he was gone getting himself some food. There was a BIG sign that said no food or drink in the car. It was 95 degrees and we wanted water. We didn’t drink it because of the sign but he chowed down on a pastry of some sort He took us the third destination. La Sagrada Família. Dropped us off as he wasn’t able to park. He wasn’t able to tell us anything about it just said “go see. Beautiful”. It was beautiful. He then took us midtown and told us to go visit a market on our own. We had a time to meet. He never returned. Another guy was there at the meeting point (2:00) and said the driver had sent him to get us. Different car. No badge. No warning. I was reluctant get in but he did have our bags. He took us straight back to our ship. We were one hour early back. He dropped us off at the wrong location. Our trip was less than informative and cut short. I e mailed the owner out of courtesy. Explained the above. He apologized stating he had a new guy doing a tour. I requested a partial refund as we got no tour. I learned zero about Barcelona. The “tour” was basically a taxi ride. I paid over $600 for it. Owner replied, apologized, and said he would be happy to show us around Barcelona next visit for free. Not sure I will ever make it back. I explained that and again asked for a partial refund. He stopped replying. This review is fair. We had a terrible experience and I don’t feel we got what is advertised.
We will never forget this experience. Albert enriched our short visit to Barcelona in ways that we could not have imagined. We communicated to him what we wanted to experience as well as our time limitations. He over-delivered in every way. It was VIP door-to-door service all the way. From our initial encounter at the train station to our bittersweet goodbye at La Sagrada Familia Albert took care of every detail. It is amazing to us how we were able to create so many lifetime memories in 6 hours! Albert is a professional in every way and a man who we now consider a friend. Do yourself a favor and let Albert show you Barcelona! ============== Nunca olvidaremos esta experiencia. Albert enriqueció nuestra corta visita a Barcelona de una manera que no podríamos haber imaginado. Le comunicamos lo que queríamos experimentar, así como nuestras limitaciones de tiempo. Albert excedió nuestras expectativas en todos los sentidos. Fue un servicio VIP puerta-a-puerta en todo momento. Desde nuestro primer encuentro en la estación de tren hasta nuestra agridulce despedida en La Sagrada Familia, Albert cuidó cada detalle. ¡Es increíble para nosotros cómo pudimos crear tantos recuerdos para toda la vida en 6 horas! Albert es un profesional en todos los sentidos y un hombre al que ahora consideramos un amigo. ¡Hazte un favor y deja que Albert te enseñe Barcelona!
We had a marvelous morning with Albert on Barcelona! He is passionate and informative about his city! He was waiting for us when we disembarked as we had scheduled. For four (4) hours he took us to the most interesting sights in the city, ending with Sagrada Familia. What a masterpiece! This tour was like a delicious appetizer... it was just the taste that makes us want to come back for more! Albert was perfect!!
If you're visiting Barcelona, Albert's tour is a must-do, especially if it's your first time in the city. After picking us up very promptly at the tour start time, Albert took us to many of the sights and gave us lots of great stories and information on them. We covered Casa Batllo, Park Guell and many others. We drove by lots of great viewpoints to photograph Barcelona from various angles. We like to walk a lot, so Albert customized the tour for us by using some of our time together to walk through the Old Town. We went to a great tapas bar for lunch, and also got some recommendations for places to go during our remaining time in Barcelona. Albert is the perfect mix of professional, patient, informative, and fun. We highly recommend his tour.
Albert was AMAZING!!!! We arranged for an airport pickup prior to start of our tour. He was extremely prompt. Throughout the tour he was very knowledgeable on the history of the city. He truly loves what he does and it shows. He was never rushed and gave us valuable information that we were very appreciative. Highly recommend booking with him.
Exactly what we were looking for! My dad just had back surgery and I needed a tour that showcased the city without a lot of walking. The park was a bit of a hike but other than that he did great. Albert was full of knowledge and did a wonderful job of hitting the highlights of Barcelona. The views were amazing. We stopped for tapas and sangria, this I would highly recommend. Thanks, Albert! 5*
Albert was very professional and informative. His guided tour really gave us a good insite into the history of Spain.
Albert delivered as promised. Easy pick up and touring Barcelona. We saw most of what was on my list in 6 hours, including a lunch break.
Albert is a wonderful tour guide. He communicated with me before I arrived in Spain which I appreciated. He told historic and interesting stories about the development of the city, the buildings, and surroundings. At my request he edited my tour to take me to the Gothic section of the city. He thoroughly answered my questions. In addition, he took pictures of me in front of various attractions. Thank you, Albert.
Excellent trip! Albert knows so much about this beautiful city and took us to places we didn’t know about! He was amazing and helped me with my 85 year old Mother. Thank you Albert for making our Barcelona trip unforgettable!
Albert was a perfect local tour guide for our short trip to Barcelona in February 2023. He happily accommodated our list of sites that we wanted to see and shared his expansive knowledge of his hometown with us. It was an ideal way to spend time in the city before he dropped us off at the cruise ship.
I had a layover and during the lay over I decided to book a private tour! It was the best decision I made Albert was great! He took me around and had the best time in my first experience in Barcelona. I highly recommend this tour!
We were amassed we were able to accomplish so much in the few time we had in Barcelona. We were able to see all the places we want to visit and still be on time at the airport. We will repeat the experience with Viator again in our future trips.
Albert provides a wonderful and comprehensive tour of Barcelona. He is very knowledgeable and proud of his beautiful city. He was very conscientious of my and my wife’s mobility issues and catered to them perfectly. Barcelona is a beautiful city and there is no better way to see it than with Albert as your guide.
Definitely would recommend Albert. He did an excellent job! He added some places to accommodate our needs. Well worth it
