Jamie did a wonderful job of putting together a beautiful day in the mountains for me on my recent trip to Barcelona. I had no idea where I wanted to go or how I would get there, so reached out to Jamie and he took me on an absolutely spectacular hike through an area I would never have been able to reach without his local knowledge. He was also very good at catering to my individual requirements (in this case putting together a reasonably long and fast day for someone going through mountain withdrawal). Strongly recommended! And don't forget that the swim is worth it, even in October!

This tour was excellent. It was a private tour - just me + my 20 yr old son. Marc was our guide. He was very engaging + knowledgable. Everything he discussed was relevant and interesting. He met us at our hotel and brought us to the Jewish Quarter. That was key because a friend of mine never found it when she was there!! I highly recommend this tour. It was the highlight of our stay in Barcelona!

Fabulous experience!! Priscila was the best tour guide. She walked us thru Gothic streets and took us to places that was not part of the tour. So worth the tour and highly recommend Priscila who speaks very fluent English and has immense patience. She is extremely knowledgable and engages us in the history of each site we had been to. Perfectly paced tour with a nice coffee break and a decent lunch.
