“Great private guides in Barcelona!” – Tripadvisors
I took three private tours with Barcelona365 the last week of August. I found them on Trip Advisor and reached out to Francesc. He was prompt and concise in our email correspondence and provided the information I needed to make the decision to book with him. Also his terms were more than reasonable – only a small deposit was required. The first two tours were the “Must See Places in Barcelona. These are 4 hour tours taken over 2 days. Our guide was Mar and she was very personable. The information provided was clear and in the proper dose for our group. We enjoyed having her as our guide. Mar took us to a great spot for lunch and provided a great recommendation for dinner which we loved. The third tour was with Francesc and we took a day trip to Figueres and Girona. Francesc was also very personable. At my request we took public transportation (train) which I reserved in advance with the help of Francesc. We loved the Dali Museum and Girona. It was fun to step out of Barcelona for the day. Francesc also encouraged us to visit Sitges and we loved that as well. He gave us information on how to get their on our own and he was quite easy. I highly recommend Barcelona365.

Francesc’s Response: Hello!!! I’m happy you get home a great memory of Catalonia. Thanks for your comments! Mar will enjoy reading them as well. I’m happy also you liked Sitges and it was easy to get it. Enjoy your trips

“4hour tour (sagrada familia and barri gotic)” – Tripadvisors
100% recomended. It was a private and personalised tour adapted to our preferences. The guide was amazing, and we got to skip all the cues to get into each place.

Francesc’s Response: Thanks!!! It’s great to hear it. In your case your party had different nationalities and I like all of you enjoyed it. See you soon!

“Fantastic Barcelona Tour” – Tripadvisors
Our family group of 8 adults enjoyed a fantastic day exploring the great city of Barcelona with Barcelona365. This was my second experience with Barcelona365 and both were great. My first tour, a walking tour of the Old City with Francesca, was very enjoyable and informative. Francesca is excellent, very good English and his knowledge and passion for the city was clearly evident. Our guide for our recent day tour, Mariona(Ona) was excellent. Her English was very good, her knowledge was extensive and we enjoyed her humor and wit as well. A spacious and comfortable van with PA system really enhanced our experience. With only one day and some in our party with mobility issues it was impossible to see everything, however we were still able to enjoy many highlights of Barcelona. Our tour included many of the Gaudi sites including Sagrada Familia and Park Guell, both are a must see! We enjoyed a great lunch of pinchos in the old city area. Highly recommend a stop at a pinchos place, small bites of exquisitely presented “mini tappas”, each with a toothpick. You select as many as you want and pay for your toothpicks when leaving. Ona was very considerate of our desires and limitations and easily accommodated additional stops at our request. A great day and the best tour during our 12 day Mediterranean cruise.

“Gaudi Tour: Sagrada Familia and more” – TBL
Fantastic tour!! Francesc knew exactly where to go & guided us around the huge crowds so we were able to see as much of Gaudi’s work as possible in 5 hrs.

Francesc’s Response: You are right Robin, there is a lot to see. I’m glad that we could get the most out of our time. Thanks for choosing me.

“Gaudi Tour: Sagrada Familia and more” – TBL
We highly recommend taking a private tour of Sagrada Famillia and Park Guell. We had guide Francesc and he was very knowledgeable about Gaudi and the buildings we viewed. Visiting Sagrada Famillia was the highlight of our visit to Barcelona.

“Montserrat (6H – Trip out Barcelona)” – TBL
Francesc guided our group of 8 adults to Montserrat. It was probably the best tour we have ever taken right from the moment he met us outside our hotel. He timed every step so that we maximized every opportunity and always stayed ahead of the crowds. We enjoyed his company; we learned a lot, we marvelled at the splendour of the mountain and the history of the monastery.mwell done. This is our second time with Tours by Locals and we will definitely return for more.

Francesc’s Response: Thank you Joan. For me time has flown. I have enjoyed your party as well.

“Montserrat (6H – Trip out Barcelona)” – TBL
The drive was comfortable and the sight itself was very interesting. However, I didn’t feel that Francesc was very efficient in how we used our time. Had we left the hotel a half an hour earlier, we might have missed more of the big tour bus crowds and had time to ride the funicular, which we very much wanted to do. Linda Ps. It also would have been nice to have had water in the car for an all day tour.

Francesc’s Response: Hello William. Thanks so much for your review that without any doubt helps me to improve. I’m so sorry we found so many busses that day. Actually I have anticipated the start time of the tour to 8am to prevent that busses arrive before us. My idea is always to avoid the mass. I’m glad that we could visit the Madonna, latter the Sanctuary and we sat down in the second bench of the Church to listen the boy’s choir (I knew that it was the priority for your wife). Thanks again.

“Ciutats Medievals: (Girona, Tavertet, Rupit…)” – TBL
Definitely 5 star. Well thought out ..very informative ..and a pleasure to spend the day with

“The must-see places in Barcelona” – TBL
Francesc gave us a phenomenal tour of Barcelona. The 8 hour tour actually was almost 9 hours and covered areas of Barcelona we would not have discovered otherwise. The restaurant he selected for a late lunch was superb and not one frequented by tourists. A thoroughly enjoyable and memorable experience.

Francesc’s Response: Thanks Jack. I enjoyed our conversations as well. I always learn from travelers. Thanks again
