“Montserrat by my private car” – TBL
Francesc enabled us to understand and appreciate what we were experiencing. He is knowledgeable with good command of English. An excellent guide.
“Modernist Barcelona” – TBL
Francesc could not have been a better tour guide! He was so knowledgable. He kept our three children engaged as well! I would highly recommend hiring Francesc to tour Barcelona. We were able to get so much of the city visited in a short period of time, really making the most of our visit.
“If you want to see real Barcelona” – Tripadvisors
Recently we spent five days in Barcelona. We were fortunate to find Francesc via TripAdvisor and used him for four days as our tour guide. Francesc suggested to us what to see, and due to his knowledge and energy these were unforgettable four days of getting to know Barcelona, its people, history and surroundings. He was able to make us see not only the historical musts, but to appreciate how people lived and live in Barcelona. We also visited Girona and Dali museum, and Francesc converted my wife into Dali follower. So, if you are in Barcelona and can get Francesc to show you his city, do not hesitate; use him and memories will be yours forever.
“All Barcelona in 6 hours” – TBL
Francesc was a wonderful guide. So much to do and see, but he managed to cram it all in for us! Well informed and easy to understand. He is eager to share his love and knowledge of his Barcelona. Worth the investment!
“A Pleasant Half Day in Barcelona” – Tripadvisors
Eight of us on a tour extension in Barcelona had the pleasure of walking with Monserrat (Monse) through the old quarter of Barcelona. Since we had been touring across Portugal and Spain for 16 days, we wanted a leisurely pace. Monse delivered exactly that. She showed us the hidden gems that we might have missed when we walked the Ramblas for the first time. This was especially true in the Boqueria market where she seemed to know almost all of the vendors. It was exciting to be there on Saturday morning. After two hours, we had a “chocolate stop” at a local shop. All of our group appreciated the commentary and observations. We felt more “in synch” with Barcelona and better understood its attractiveness for visitors. Hopefully we will return. Monse did a great job.
“Wonderful day, very flexible and full of knowledge” – Tripadvisors
We were recently fortunate to spend a few days in Barcelona and connected with Francesc via TripAdivsor. We organized a private 4 hour tour starting at the airport. Since we were unable to check into our hotel for several hours, this seemed to make the most sense for time. The driver was prompt and easily located upon our arrival. And he drove us straight into the city to meet Francesc. We packed a lot into the remaining tour – but the places we walked (and drove) were perfect and we even managed a quick stop in the Familia Sagrada – which is an absolute must for your trip. It was a quick, fast-paced tour – but it was well worth it. I highly recommend Francesc for your ‘first’ – as there will be more – trip to Barcelona!
“Walking tour of the Old Town” – TBL
Francesc set a meeting place on a very busy street corner with no identifying sign or other indicator, so we spent some time trying to connect. He was knowledgeable, friendly and flexible. We had some difficulty understanding him through his Spanish accent.
“All Barcelona in 4 hours” – TBL
Very knowledgeable; personable and easy to work with.
“Walking tour of the Old Town” – TBL
Francesca was very knowledge and able to share his knowledge and passion for the people and history of Barcelona in an informative, interesting, and humorous way. He was careful to engage our children and ensure that they too were getting something out of the tour. He went beyond the role of a simple tour guide and set up transportation and recommendations for eateries as well.
“All Barcelona in 5 hours” – TBL
With enthusiasm, grace, a voice we could really hear, and a detailed “flight plan” for an ambitious tour, Francesc simply made our day. I’ve never seen a day fly by as this one did – my Mom and I were left wanting more! Francesc is unassuming, yet extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and warm. He brought great life to a Barcelona overview tour, and we could not have been happier.
