Barcelona365
“Walking Tour of the Old Town” – TBL
Francesc is a very knowledgeable and personable guide. He enjoys teaching all aspects of Barcelona’s history and culture.
“Gaudi Tour: Sagrada Familia and more” – TBL
My wife and I had visited the Sagrada Familia 15 or 20 years ago when there was little progress in construction. Through Francesc’s remarkablely cogent presentation we could appreciate the history and glory of this Gaudi masterpiece. No guidebook could convey the same insights that our guide shared with us. We were also blown away by his detailed exposition of Gaudi’s magical park.
“The must-see places in Barcelona” – TBL
Excellent tour and day planned by our guide, Francesc. It included parts of the city we requested and he was very knowledgeable about the history and culture.
“Barcelona in 4 hours” – TBL
My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Francesc in Barcelona today. He is charming knowledgeable and adapted our tour to our interests. My son, David, will be traveling to Barcelona in May with his family and I will recommend that he contact Francesc. I give him the highest rating in all categories.
“Traveling Spain 2016” – Tripadvisors
PRO’S: Our hotel recommended Barcelona 365 and I am very glad they did. Francesc was unavailable but Agnes was superb. We asked them for a four person, six hour tour with van & driver. I’ve had many tours in Europe and this was one of the very best. Agnes was a Spanish history major and really knows how to make the tour exciting. We toured Sagrada Familia, Casa Botllyo, and the Gothic Quarter. Lots of interesting facts and she took us to a fine tapas restaurant for a break during the tour. Very enjoyable, fun tour of Barcelona CON’S: Absolutely none. SUMMARY: Happy to recommend Barcelona 365 for great private tours. We will use them when we return to Barcelona.
“Modernist – Antonio Gaudi (5H)” – TBL
The focus of our tour was Gaudi, and Francesc shared wonderful stories that made Gaudi’s buildings come to life. He pointed out design details that we missed on our visit to Barcelona 10 years ago, and it was a much more enriching experience. He definitely made us want to return to Barcelona in 2026 to see the completed Sagrada Familia.
“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.
“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.
“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.
