We were a party of 6 best friends who traveled near and far to celebrate a 45th birthday. We booked two tours with VIP: La Sagrada Familia with walking tour of the Barri Gotic and El Born and a half day tour of Montserrat and the Freixenet Vineyard to see the Cava Caves. Abel was very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. When the doors to La Sagrada opened, he ushered us "briskly" into the church so we could be the first ones in without the crowds. He said that in his experience many people stand outside to take photos, so there is a 5-7 minute window when the church is completely empty. We followed his lead and he was right. For those 5 minutes, it was as if we had the entire church to ourselves. It was magical. The tour to Montserrat was very spiritual and moving. Warning for those who get carsick, the ride to the monastery is full of winding roads! We thoroughly enjoyed the Freixenet cava tour. 5 stars for Abel and for VIP tours!…

My husband and I have been to Barcelona twice before and in both occasions had a private tour to La Segrada Familia. Our tour this past October surpassed all others. Barcelona VIP Tours went above and beyond to share information we had not learned before and to see the cathedral in beautiful new ways. Navigation of Barcelona can be tough, but VIP tours made it easy with a private car service, bringing us right to where we wanted to be. I highly recommend Barcelona VIP Tours, you will not be disappointed. …

The first time I took this tour with VIP Barcelona Tours was in October of 2017 with a group of business associates. It was just so amazing and most informative with Abel as our guide. Last February 2019, our family decided to take the Iberian cruise which was to take us to 10 cities and ending in Barcelona. That was when I communicated with Abel and booked another Familia Sagrada and Barcelona tour (my second) with VIP Barcelona Tours. Abel is an amazing guide having been in the industry for over 26 years. His history of Sagrada Familia, the history behind the works of Antoni Gaudi on his design of several buildings, and major tourist sites in Barcelona is so detailed. His guided tour was like a history class in a classroom without walls. Fantastic tour and guide !!!!…

We asked the concierge at our hotel for a recommendation for either a small group of a private tour of La Sagrada Família. They recommended VIP and our tour guide was Abel. What an amazing experience - we absolutely loved our time with him. He helped us understand Gaudi’s incredible architectural and engineering mind but also his philosophy and the meaning behind his designs. We also enjoyed our conversation on the history of Barcelona and Spain. We highly recommend adding this tour to your Barcelona experience- totally worth it! …

We had limited time in Barcelona and we thought it be best we get a private tour of the Picasso Musuem and Sagrada Familia plus interesting information between. We were very fortunate to have had Abel (Barcelona VIP Tours) as our guide and host. I cannot speak highly enough of him. With 3 teenage children tours can sometimes be too much for their attention span after a couple of hours. Abel fortunately had a gift of drawing them back into the presentation and enthused them continuously. He was absolutely amazing, full of interesting historical information explained to us with such passion that you couldn’t help but be amazed with Barcelona’s history. By the end of the day Abel was more of a friend than a guide. We even sat after the tour and enjoyed some Cava and tapas together sharing our travel experiences. Barcelona VIP Tours is a must if you are in Barcelona and need a private tour or transfer. Abel thank you so much. Dean and Rada Stojkovic (Sydney, Australia)…
