We spent 3 days in Barcelona on a private tour with Barcelona's Best Tour Guide, Feliciano. We visited Montserrat, the wine district, Costa Brava and Barcelona city sights. Feliciano makes you feel just like family. He is warm, kind, funny and so knowledgable with impeccable English. What he doesn't know about the beautiful Catalunya region of Spain is probably not worth knowing. Our experience was so much richer in his hands. Can't wait to go back and again.

We have 5 in our group who flew in from Toronto just after noon time for a 7-night cruise embarking the same day. With this tight schedule, we were looking for a private transfer which would allow us to make a stop at La Sagrada Familia for some pictures, as two of us have never been to Barcelona and would like to have a glimpse of this famous attraction. Xavier was very responsive to our initial inquiry and all follow-up emails and courteous in letting us fit this in our very tight time-frame and shown us a couple of landmarks without having to pay a lot more. Our flight arrived slightly earlier than scheduled and Xavier was almost there when we called. He is friendly and welcoming. His driving was excellent and we felt safe and comfortable. We also booked our return transfer from the cruise port back to BCN airport right after disembarkation. His partner, Roger, was also a very good driver. We will definitely use their service again if we return to this beautiful Spanish city in the future.

I can't say enough good things about this tour and tour company! On my first day in Girona, this was a perfect introduction to the city. The tour was the perfect length in the heat to get a sense of the city, its culture, history, nightlife and its links to Game of Thrones. The guide was professional, informative and fun- no question was too much. The love for Girona was infectious and I hope you have as much fun on the tour as I did.
