Great Tour with Alba!!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Alba is an excellent guide! She gave us a detailed tour of the old city & Gothic quarter, steering away from tourist crowds while taking us to the most interesting points. Her rich explanations brought history to life with emotion & humor. We really enjoyed learning with Alba as our guide.

Barcelona old town, flamenco show, and an authentic dinner and a drink

The moment we met Jose Carlos, it was clear we had made a good choice! He was friendly, super knowledgeable, patient, and enthusiastic. My wife and I went on quite a few guided tours in this trip, and Jose Carlos was at the top of the list. He patiently answered all of my questions, being able to add context and he absolutely matched my enthusiasm.

Nice time.

He’s very knowledgeable, engaged with us and so passionate when he was telling us the history of the Gothic Quarter and the stories of those who have walked and inhabited the area. Edward thank you so much for making my Mother’s birthday so very special.
