Traveler reviews
Excellent excursion with an exceptional guide
Alberto is the best guide you could hope for. Punctual, helpful, polite and with a love for his work He helped my wife and me to understand and discover details of each place visited and as a plus he gave us tips to enjoy Barcelona
Excellent combination of tour/visits
Excellent experience! We did the Cardona, Salt Mountain, and Montserrat tour with Xavi and we could not have had a better guide. He knows every place perfectly and makes the whole tour very pleasant, interesting, and enjoyable. In addition, he has a great temperament and an extraordinary way of treating both adults and children, something we really appreciated while traveling as a family. Always attentive, patient, and with an excellent attitude. Everything was wonderful. Totally recommended and a 10 for Xavi!
Xavi is the guide to get
Xavi was our guide on a 10-hour tour (!) with a 7yo where we didn't speak Catalan, and we were prepared for this to be a hot mess. It better than we could have imagined. Xavi knows so much about history and about Montserrat, we wouldn't have known what the hell was going on there without him. He knew the tour guides everywhere we went, and made our entries into the Cardona salt cave and the castle seamless. He was flexible with our scheduling, and even had treats in the car, which made our kid very happy. Highly recommend Xavi for a tour. He could (and nearly did) talk for the entire 10 hours about all these amazing places. The 7yo: "He was a good tour guide. He gave us a lottery ticket but we didn't win."
Fantastic
Rodrigo is the best guide we have had during our visit to the city of Barcelona.
