      An incredible culinary introduction to Barcelona and Spain
      The time we spent visiting some great local places with Bianca were an amazing introduction to our visit to Barcelona. Her knowledge and her passion for the city and country were an absolute delight! I would highly recommended as an introduction to the city and its amazing food and to a wealth of knowledge for the places you can enjoy while in the city. Thank you

      Absolute joy
      We had such a lovely morning with Ellie. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable about the Sagrada Familia, she had a great sense of humor, was kind, and authentic. I would recommend her 100 times over. Merci, Ellie!

      Great!
      Informative with the history of Barcelona and the markets we visited. Knows good food as well. Very helpful when having to translate when communicating with the locals, and for picking up new vocabulary.

      Food tour Barcelona with Elvira
      My wife and I enjoyed an amazing food tour around Barcelona with Elvira, a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that combined local knowledge with our own requests. There really is no constructive feedback I could give, as the tour was perfect; my wife and I are still talking and reminiscing about it! Elvira is personable, knowledgable, and brings her own experiences and understandings. We learned a huge amount, ate even more! Thanks, and we will return with the family!

      More than worth it.
      Elvira was perfect very knowledgeable , friendly she knew her way around town took us to local markets and explained the true Catalon food and flavors and would definitely recommend. 10 stars is not enough for her or the amount of food you get. You better go hungry.

      Sebastian was punctual and waiting for us with a big smile, that made us feel like old friends from the first moment we met. He guided us through delicious local tapas and patisseries at unique local spots that we would never had found without a Host :) Between spots he told interesting stories and fun facts about the city. The whole tour was a perfect balance between a laid back and well organized local experience. We learned that Saba also offers other tours from WithLocals, and we will definitely book him for future adventures next time we are in town. Gracias hermano <3

      Lunar New Year in Bangkok!
      We had such a fun night in Bangkok with Nok! We were jet-lagged and found Bangkok at night to be overwhelming, so we are so glad we had Nok there to show us around. We went a temple, got a Thai astrology reading, went to a night market, and then headed to Chinatown to experience Lunar New Year! Nok was super friendly and knowledgeable, she was also able to customize our tour to what we wanted to do. We really enjoyed our evening, thank you so much Nok! :)

      Alan...what an Amazing experience!
      What an amazing experience! I can't even just call it a tour, it was definitely an experience! Alan was amazing and really went above and beyond! We ate so much delicious food, trying things we hadn't yet as well. He picked great places to stop. Drink recommendations to pair with our food was great as well. Now comes the best part...Alan our guide, friend, host, teacher... He was AMAZING! So much knowledge shared in such a wonderful way! To say he went above and beyond is an understatement! He showed us so much. You could tell he loved being there sharing his knowledge of the beautiful city of Barcelona as much as we did! We highly recommend this experience with Alan!!!

      Would do it again!
      This was a family vacation. Philippe is very knowledgeable, informative and passionate about Catalunya. We received a great overview of the area and also learned about Three Kings day. He was at Green Bike well before the tour began and gave us his full attention. We appreciate Philippe coming out during the Spanish holiday! The bike tour allowed us to see a lot of Barcelona. We always felt safe under his direction and the city is set up for bicycling.

      Sebastian was very knowledgeable and informative. We had booked the Treasures of Barcelona: Gaudi tour but had seen the Gaudi buildings the previous day. Sebastian pivoted to giving us a tour of the Gothic area which was phenomenal! We will book him again the next time we’re in Barcelona.

      Wonderfully entertaining Gaudi tour!
      Sebastian was an amazing guide—warm, friendly, funny. He seemed to have a bottomless source of facts, pictures, and stories about Barcelona and its rich history and beautiful architecture that really brought it all to life for my daughter and myself. And when we find our way back here, we certainly hope to work with him again! Do not miss!

      We got Engaged at the Sagrada Familia
      Ellie was absolutely wonderful in planning our private outside tour of the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia and my plan to propose to my, now fiancé. At the appropriate time and place I gave her my phone to video and take pictures. It was absolutely perfect and she was a wonderful photographer for us! The tour and information provided were top notch and made our interior visit afterwards absolutely enjoyable. I cannot recommend Ellie more highly for great communication, outstanding information and a no rush experience that absolutely made my additional request a memory we will always treasure.

      Phlippe was great!
      Philippe provided us with a customized tour that enlightened us with Catalan and Barcelona history and cultural background. I asked a lot of questions and he eagerly answered all. He communicated ahead of time and provided his contact info in case we could not find him. All went very well and we are very pleased with our experience.

      Time well spent with a great guide
      15 years of living in Barcelona has left Adi with a great knowledge of the city and a love for Barcelona that shines through. It was a pleasure to spend time in his company. A great sense of humour too. Book him, you won't regret your choice.

    We loved every minute of our tour with Liliia. She added a lot of additional not well known anecdotal information to our Picasso tour and also included more information about Barcelona and Guadi we had not received before. She was a delight!

    Our tour guide was phenomenal. We did walking tour of Barcelona to all places that Picasso went to as person. Great seeing his home and school. I appreciated that we got to go to El Gats, the restaurant he went to with other artists of Modernist movement. I appreciated learning about the Picasso, the person. She also showed us columns from the Romans.

    Together with our teenage daughters we did a tour with a Picasso theme. Sebastian did a great job making it very engaging and bringing history to life. He adapted it to our interests, mixing in other interesting history of Barcelona, its artists and Spain in general. Good mix between walking around and taking stops at different landmarks.

    So we started with a late arrival by our tour guide. Then we walked around the streets for hours. Never entered the Museum of Architecture or the Picasso Museum (what we came to Barcelona to see and what is supposed to be 90 minutes). The guide said ‘we were so lucky to get tickets at 7pm’ (our tour ended at 1pm today there was no charge to go into the Picasso Museum). Problem is we had Picasso Museum and “treasures of Barcelona” scheduled 10:30am to 12:30 with a cooking class scheduled for 2pm. We never saw Picasso and do NOT recommend this tour. Who knows if we will ever return to Barcelona. We barely made our cooking class (which was terrific) and suggest you avoid this tour and excursion. What a waste of time and money. Problem is you can never get the missed experience back.

    Alan was our intelligent, knowledgeable and thoughtful guide. He led us around the Gothic Quarter and put Picasso's life in perspective. We learned so much about Barcelona along the way--we never expected such an outstanding tour full of rich information and insight. Put your walking shoes on. You'll be covering a lot of territory before the museum itself. This is an absolute must-do tour and consider yourself extra lucky if Alan is your guide.

    Fiorella was a fantastic guide...knowledgeable and so nice! She got us completely ready to enjoy the Picasso museum. We didn't know our tour was on San Jordi day, and loved learning about that too and getting our roses and books. Can't thank or recommend her enough!!

    Fiorella from with locals was very accommodating after I realized I needed to book the
    tour earlier in the morning last minute since my husband and I were getting on the
    cruise ship in the afternoon. She met us promptly in the AM. She
    showed us around Barcelona where Picasso lived and frequented starting off at the 4Cats cafe. This
    Was a good tour prior to visiting the Picasso museum. She told us about
    the museum and the the different eras and paintings in the museum.
    This made our visit into the museum more meaningful. we enjoyed the
    tour and Fiorella was great!

    We were excited to get the confirmation of a guided tour. A day before we were told there were no tickets for a guided tour. That was a huge disappointment and did not reflect well on your company.
