 “Excelence in Barcelona“– Tripadvisors
My wife and I visited Barcelona this April. The weather was great and our tour guide Fransesc was fantastic. We toured several sites in town before taking a taxi to the Sagrada Familia. The walking tours were wrapped up with a trip thru “old town”. My wife agreed it was the best ever walking guided tours we’ve ever had and a best guide.
Only thing that would have been better is if we had more days to see more sights with Francesc, he was well prepared, totally informed and compleatly fluent in English and several other languages.

 “4 Hour tour of Barcelona” – Tripadvisors
We chose Francesc instead of a tour from our cruise ship. It was our best decision. He was waiting at the pier, there were 4 of us and we chose a private limo, which worked out nicely. Our driver was very efficient, maneuvering into streets and parking spots with great ease. One of our group had mobility issues and Francesc was very accommodating. We toured a bit of Old Town, went to Passeig de Gracia, the elegant avenue in Barcelona, saw Gaudi’s home and those of the ool wealthy families and heard the story of their beginnings. We had a wonderful tour of Sagrada Familia and Francesc would stop and give us details about the designs that Gaudi used to tell the stories. Our final stop was a market, La Bouqueria Food Market, I believe, and we saw wonderful displays of olives, fruits, meats and fish. The fish is delivered fresh daily and so many kinds available. We wish we had had longer to visit in this beautiful city but through Francesc we were able to capture the history and also the modern day life.
You won’t be disappointed.

“Wineries Priorat-montsant” –  TBL
Francesc customized this tour based on our desire to visit wineries in the Priorat region. He hired a driver Jorge who was a pleasure to have along and a very competent driver. Francesc chose 4 wineries and each one welcomed us into their vineyards for tastings. We enjoyed all the tastings especially at Clos de l’Obac and Celler Mas Doux where we made several purchases. Francesc always kept us on track and provided us with interesting commentary about the region during our drive. Highly recommend him.

Francesc’s Response: It was for a long time that we were preparing this tour. It was a customized tour in a special region of Catalonia. I have enjoyed preparing and touring this visit. Thanks AnnaMarie!

“Tapas & Pinchos en the Old Town with Flamenco” –  TBL
Francesc was a wonderful guide. He took us to 3 places which we would never have walked into (we probably would have not even noticed one of them) and enjoyed the BEST tapas and pinchos of our trip. On our walk he was extremely informative about the history of Barcelona and the architecture of the Old Town. I would highly recommend him.

“Market and Food Stores: See and Taste” –  TBL
Francesc provided a great tour. Our plane was cancelled and we arrived hours late and he was very accomodating rearranging his day. The tour was outstanding ans we samlpled all the sights and foods (meat, cheese, wine, tapas, etc) of Barcelona. He also gave us some great suggestions of places to go on our own. Definately recommend

“Gaudi tour: Sagrada Familia and more” –  TBL
Francesc is a delight! Very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with. Learned a lot and had an enjoyable day!

Francesc’s Response: Thanks Rosalie!!! I have had a wonderful day too. Tomorrow we will visit the Sagrada Familia, the Park Guell and the Montjuic Hill. Good Evening

“Barcelona in 6 hours” –  TBL
Four of us had wonderful day seeing Barcelona with Francesc. He managed to show us most of what we had requested in six short hours. He is very interested in history and loves sharing it. If you want to see more and have him explain a little less, just say so. Great day!

“Walking tour of the Old Town” –  TBL
This tour with Francesc is a great way to get a comprehensive exposure to Barcelona. Francesc goes into great detail using maps and images from his iPad to help frame every point on the tour. On this tour, you get to cover a lot of ground and see a lot of important sights from the Gothic quarter. We really appreciated his local knowledge, for example, he pointed out several local stores and eateries that he frequented growing up in Barcelona. He went above and beyond!

“Tapas & Pinchos in the Old Town with Flamenco” –  TBL
Fantastic walking tour with intermittent stops at 3 excellent restaurants with recommendations on the best Tapas to try and introduction to Pinchos which were excellent! Francesc was professional and informative about the history of the area. Loved walking the back alleys of the Gothic Quarter with someone who knew his way around!

Francesc’s Response: It was challenging to me to get your interest when it was the end of your tour in Europe but I had a great time with your group. See you soon!

She was very sensitive to my Parkinson Ons and Offs and responded by tailoring our tour of Gaudi sites to meet our needs. We can’t speak highly enough of her and learned so much from her!
