 “We had two half days with Francesc and they were both outstanding.”  – Tripadvisors
We had two half days with Francesc and they were both outstanding. His insight and knowledge gave us a great start to our days in Barcelona. We did a four hour Gaudi tour and 4 hours in the Old Town/Gothic Quarter. Along with the walking tours he gave us confidence to use local taxis and the subway to efficiently get around after the tours were over. Francesc is an outstanding professional. We truly enjoyed our time with him. He navigated us in and out of venues we wouldn’t have found on our own and used our time very efficiently.

This was the 2nd 1/2 day tour we did with Francesc & it was as good as the first. We saw so much! He provided great insight and information about Barcelona history and events. We started our visit to Barcelona with Francesc and his guidance made the rest of our visit better. Using taxis and the subway to get around is easy and fast. Getting a confort level with his guidance made us confident to move around by ourselves. He is one of the best guides we’ve ever had. I wish there were six stars.

“Gaudi Tour: Sagrada Familia and more” – TBL
We had two half days with Francese. This was day one and was outstanding. His insight of the city and Gaudi are incredible. There is no way we could have navigated the city so quickly or gained as much understanding of the venues without him. He seems to know everyone and was able to get us in sites quickly and show us the important points. Just knowing how to to quickly move around the very busy Barcelona is invaluable. He gave us some lunch options that turned out great after the tour.

 “Costa Brava “  – Tripadvisors
Francesc was punctual, friendly, particulary with our young kids, and very knowledgeable of those hidden corners and gems within the Costa Brava region. He was excellent and we will book the Gaudí Barcelona and Girona/Figueres tours with him. You can only appreciate the geography, history and culture with an experienced and well-versed tourist guide like Francesc.

“Markets and Food Stores: see and taste” – TBL

Francesc’s Response: Thanks Jia. I’m looking for to meeting your friend

Francesc is a gracious and delightful “host” for Old Town Barcelona. He started with a helpful map on his digital tablet and took us through a well-planned walking tour. He was responsive to our questions and enthusiastic throughout. Francesc’s English is less proficient than optimal–his accent was sometime difficult for me to negotiate (to be fair, however, my wife did much better)–but his character, knowledge, and enthusiasm deserve the 5-star rating.

Francesc’s Response: Thanks for your comments Rachael. I’m happy that you had a great time with me. You had a deeply knowledge of our history and it made the tour more interesting. It’s good to know that I have to make an effort in my pronunciation – it make me improve. Have a great day

“excellent guide and knowledgeable person” – Tripadvisors
We really enjoyed our day with Francesc. He took us to Sagrada Familia and the other major Gaudi sites in Barcelona. His knowledge and enthusiasm for his work showed, and he is a wealth of knowledge.

Francesc’s Response: Thanks so much. I really love to show the city where I was born. By then it was a very different city, and NOT touristic!!! Can you imagine?

Francesc was just wonderful. All members of the party enjoyed his commentary, his passion for his city and his knowledge. He was friendly, helpful, respectful. Brilliant tour, which made us want to book another in another city using the same company. Thank you so much Francesc.

Francesc was WONDERFUL. HE is so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. My older sister has a hip problem and cannot walk fast or alot. He went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure my sister was able to keep up and not get too tired. We cannot say enough nice things about him….If we could rate him at 100 stars… WE WOULD!!!!!! WE have already recommended him to friends who are planning travel to Barcelona this year. Muchos Gracias Tours by Locals and Francesc!!!! Job well done!!!!!!!!!

Francesc’s Response: Thank you Denise, Diane and Deborah!!! I have enjoyed sharing my city in your company
