      Great tour with an even better guide!
      David took our family of five on a walking tour of Sagrada Familia and Old City. He was wonderful and added so much detail to our experience. I have never been awe struck like when we walked into Sagrada Familia. David’s tour helped us understand the history of Spain and Gaudi’s influence around the city. It was the perfect tour with an enthusiastic and personable guide! I highly highly recommend!

      David: Best tour guide ever!
      David Chacon is the best tour guide ever & we’ve had other private tours, in various cities. He is super positive and personable. He showed my husband & I places we would have never seen on our own. He was very patient & helped me find Christmas ornaments I try to get in every country, actually made by artisans in Spain. He did not rush through the tour, and it actually ran overtime. His experience showed in everyplace we went. He knows shopkeepers and people, throughout the tour. He is such an expert at Sagrada Familia & explained all the various sculptures & towers on the outside, & showed us the best views and stained glass inside. Gothic Quarter was amazing! We took a break at a little cafe for wonderful, thick hot chocolate & fresh hot churros.

      Exceptional experience to tour Sagrada Familia and Park Gruel!
      David is one of a kind! Incredibly knowledgeable, takes the time to answer all questions, and gets unbelievable photos! The private car made the experience even more exceptional. Highly recommend this tour and tour guide. Well worth the money.

      Excellent tour guide
      David was an amazing tour guide. We were very fortunate to have him as our guide for La Sagrada Familia. We have visited the site before, but it was a completely different experience having David as our guide. It’s not just that he is incredibly knowledgeable, but also that his enthusiasm enhances the wonder of the church. He urged us to do the tour in the afternoon because that is when the light thru the stained glass windows is most impressive and it was truly breath taking to witness the vibrant colors light up the interior of the church. We have enjoyed tour guides around the world and I would say David is one of the best. I strongly recommend him . You won’t regret it. I understand he does other tours in Barcelona and Catalonia, so maybe on our next trip we will once again have the pleasure of touring with him.

      Great experience, would recommend
      I had an incredible experience on a private tour of the Sagrada Familia. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about the history and architecture of this magnificent basilica. They provided fascinating insights into Gaudí's vision and the ongoing construction, bringing the story of the Sagrada Familia to life. The private nature of the tour allowed for a personalized experience, and the guide was very accommodating to all our questions and interests. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an in-depth and memorable visit to one of Barcelona's most iconic landmarks.

      Montserrat
      Montserrat is a stunningly beautiful mountain range in Catalonia that houses monks of the Benedictine abbey. Along with gorgeous views outside, the museum and Basilica are awe inspiring. Don’t miss it!

      David was an amazing guide!! We had a great time with him exploring the Gaudi houses, Park Guell, and the magnificent Sagrada Family. He was super knowledgeable, provided great details and explanations on everything we saw, and answered all of our questions.

      A Perfect Private Introduction to Gaudi and His Work
      A beautiful day dawned in Barcelona as my husband and I began our incredible half day private tour with David. His knowledge about and passion for Gaudi - the man and his works - was infectious. David was prepared with images on his tablet to help frame the history and geography of the sites, and we traveled between each in style with the expert Tony at the wheel. Every detail regarding our tour was perfectly planned and seamlessly executed. Many thanks for the time and knowledge shared with us this visit. We hope to return to Barcelona, and will certainly seek David out for another adventure when we do!

      Fantastic Tours
      David was fantastic to work with in planning our two tours. We did the sites of Barcelona with private car one day and sites of Gaudi the second day. Tanja and David were both fantastic at guiding us around and showing us so much that Barcelona has to offer. The additional information that they each shared was geared not just to adults but to my two boys as well. They both knew exactly what we all would want to see and know. David made it very easy to communicate via email and when I got to Spain we communicated via Whats App. I highly recommend Guiding Barcelona and will tell everyone I know to book with them for tours..

      Great half-day Gaudi tour!
      We had a wonderful half-day tour of Gaudi's architectural highlights with David! He was so friendly and well-versed in the history of Gaudi and Barcelona! He thoughtfully planned our visits to ensure the fewest crowds, the best light, the most fun! His love of Gaudi and Barcelona was evident and infectious!

    David Chacon was referred to me by a good friend who spent several weeks in Barcelona, so we connected by email with David prior to our trip. David made it a point to be completely connected to us prior to our pickup and we spent the entire day listening to him tell us the history of everything we saw. He speaks perfect English and was so very easy to be with! Our biggest and most memorable of that tour is definitely La Sagrada Familia!!! David took pictures of us inside the cathedral that will make a perfect Christmas card!! He is definitely a fabulous tour guide!!!

    David gave us a fabulous 10 hour tour with so many highlights of the city. We sampled amazing seafood and other food for lunch. This was the best way to see so much of the beautiful city of Barcelona with such limited time.

    Everything was amazing - I spent along time wondering what was my favourite bit. But I think I loved it all for different reasons - you just have to se it all. David was an amazing guide and gave us the right amount of time and information in all the places. - The world is just such a beautiful place and a david showed us this beauty though his eyes and knowledge ( he also knew all the best places to eat - YUM )
