“La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell” – Tripadvisors
Francesc came highly recommended to me because of my particular interest in art, archecture and the culture. He spend a month helping me plan the correct tours to fit my needs, which he did! I do not think Francesc sleeps! In the day he gives tours of his lovely city and at night he answers his e-mails from all over the world which, is quiet a task! His knowlege of the Barcelona’s history, art and architecture was just what we wanted, added to this he is, personable charming and easy to understand. Would definitlay book again on another trip to Barcelona. Thank-you again Francesc for giving us some wonderful memeories/souvenirs to take home with us.

“One of the best tour guides we’ve had…” – Tripadvisors
We were travelling to Spain with our 3 college aged children and friends recommended Francesc to us. Spending two half days with Francesc was perfect to learn the history of Barcelona through its architecture, art and culture. He did a great job giving us an overview of the city lay out and recommended great restaurants, including Ciudad Condal. His culinary tour of Bogueria was fit for foodies! We covered a lot of ground to see all Gaudi and Francesc did an amazing job organizing it. He’s a wonderful teacher and included all political and social aspects in his tour. Loved Barcelona and left feeling that we had a deeper understanding and appreciation thanks to our time with Francesc!

“Two Days in Barcelona” – Tripadvisors
We toured Barcelona with Francesc two days at 4 hours per day. He was very knowledgeable about the sights we visited and about Spain. We thoroughly enjoyed our tours and would highly recommend him.

“Tapas walking tour of Barcelona” – Tripadvisors
Our guide Francesc was outstanding. He was enthusiastic and so knowledgable. He described the city as we walked through the Gothic part and the tapas venues were excellent. So good we returned the next day for a further meal. A wonderful way to learn about the city and its food.

“Walking tour of the Old Town” – TBL
Francesc was flexible which was very much appreciated. He covered some spectacular sites for us in a short amount of time. His knowledge and story-telling of the history, the people, the culture made each site so fascinating and much more than any book or audio guide! He is a delightful and charming tour guide and passes helpful information beyond the sites that allows one to feel very very comfortable in this amazing city.

“Vacation in Barcelona” – Tripadvisors
Francesc was our guide in Barcelona….what an extraordinary experience!! On time, very professional and cosiderate, , deep knowledge of the history of Spain and history of art.. He had all trip prepared for us and save us a lot of time not waiting to buy tickets and stay in line. We appreciated his role and help even more on our last day when we were alone and we were waiting for ever in lines and could not complete our schedule.

“Fantastic Customized Tour” – Tripadvisors
We had Francesc for a 4 hour tour on April 7 2015. We arranged the tour via email, reserving with a partial payment via PayPal. We traveled with our “young adult” kids (20 and 17). We asked Francesc for some specific things we wanted to see (La Rambla, Gothic quarter, La Sagrada Familia) and the rest of the time to get an overview of Barcelona. Francesc is very knowledgeable about his city and the many interesting sights (and sites) there are to visit. He was fantastic on our tour of La Sagrada Familia – both from the outside and when we toured the inside of this magnificent church. Without a knowledgeable guide, it would be difficult (impossible?) to understand some of the finer points of the design. In addition to his vast knowledge of Barcelona, Francesc is also very pleasant to be around. On our tour, there was a good amount of time where we had to wait for one thing or another – or during our taxi rides between locations. We enjoyed being with Francesc and being able to ask general questions about the Catalan culture, Barcelona, and even his family. He also made some good recommendations on restaurants (we know they were good, because we ate in one of his recommendations the night BEFORE our tour – it was amazing). Of course, the other advantage of having a professional tour guide is that we didn’t have to wait in line at La Sagrada Familia – either to buy tickets or to enter the church. We are returning to Barcelona in July as part of a Mediterranean cruise, and we will try to book Francesc again to see some of the things we missed, such as Park Guell.

“The must-see places in Barcelona” – TBL
We had an exceptional day with our guide. We walked and took taxis all over Barcelona. Francesc was organized and gave us a great understanding of his city. I would recommend him to other folks that are visiting Barcelona for the first time. He wet our appetite and we used several of his recommendations to visit other sites the next two days.

“Walking tour of the Old Town” – TBL
Francesc took us on a great tour. We saw so many wonderful places and Francesc made them so interesting. If we could rate him higher than five stars, we would! We would definitely use him again if we came back to Barcelona and will recommend him to anyone we know who will be visiting this beautiful city.

Francesc’s Response: If you never come back it will be great to meet you again. Thanks for your comments

“Walking tour of the Old Town” – TBL
Francesc was excellent…highest rating. We Had eight hours with him over two days, half with car and driver. Sights and history came alive. He set the right pace, as requested, for senior citizens. Also gave us good restaurant recommendations. Thank you, Francesc, for a great time in Barcelona.

Francesc’s Response: Thanks William. I’m happy you enjoyed my recommendations as well.
