We had the utter displeasure of having Elisabet Morera (private guide #GT-000840) as our guide during our tour in Barcelona last summer and she was hands down the worst tour guide we have ever used (and we've traveled to over 30 countries and used private guides in each, so we've seen our fair share of private guides!). I've been wanting to leave her a review ever since our terrible experience but I could not find her anywhere (that should have been my first clue of what was to come!). Now I see she is on TripAdvisor and can finally report my dreadful experience with her. I created an account just to leave this review, so that should tell you how bad it was as I feel a responsibility to warn others so that they don't make the same mistake I did. During our tour she was completely dull, boring, distracted, uninteresting, and whenever we asked her to go more in-depth, she just kept things superficial which gave us the impression that she didn't fully know what she was talking about. She was on her phone for most of the tour instead of engaging with us, presumably either because she had to read about what we were about to see next or she was distracted with something else. She sucked out all of our enthusiasm for Barcelona. To add insult to injury, she was quite dismissive of my kids, and that's a BIG no-no. I can't even say she was "nice" because she was quite rude at times and not just with us, but even with the staff at the places we visited (for example, we had invited her to lunch and paid for her, and she was rude to the waitress, who does that??). The only positive is that she was punctual. That's literally it. We even paid for skip the line tickets to Gaudi's Sacred Familia church and STILL had to wait when we got there. Reading her Bio here and seeing that her actual work experience is with an "industrial company" and that she only started guiding after a self-described "midlife crisis" makes TOTAL sense! She's not fit to be a guide. Period. Seriously, get ANY other guide but her in Barcelona and you'll have a better experience than we did!! It's been 7 months now and I still think about how we wasted our money and how she ruined Barcelona for my family (and it was supposed to be the highlight of our vacation in Europe). Ugh!! It would have been better value for money if we had just flushed the several hundreds of euros we paid her down the toilet and toured Barcelona ourselves WITHOUT her!

Alex picked us up in the hotel in the agreed time. Then we went with his van up to Penedes area (about 25-30min ride). During that time he explained what we would do and got to know each other a little bit. Once there he provided the bikes and we followed a road (mainly downhill or even path). He would keep driving with the van but stoped every 5km and made sure we were ok and provided watter if necessary. You did not need to be in a good shape to do this journey. The views are incredible and while the ride you see some nice houses with Modernist influences. Then, he let’s you choose what to do (breakfast or castle visit). We decided to know a little bit more the area so we went to a close by Castle. As our group was formed by young members, after that visit he brought us to anothe path which was not as easy as the previous one (that I believes normaly is not done in regular visits), but very doable if you arr more a less in shape, and so we visited other sides of the area. After that he brought us to a very small (compared to others) and familiar winery. In there the last generation of the wine family (Josep) showed us around and explained us how wine and cava is prepared. Also, they do keep many old objects used in the past. Like an small museum. We did the wine and cava taste while speaking with Alex and Josep. At all times Alex was trying to make sure that we were enjoyig the tour. If you like to to know Penedes and its wine area while being outdors, I fully recommend this trip. Thank’s for the ride Alex.
