This is our first time in Barcelona. We contacted Gloria much later than we would usually do. We were arriving in Barcelona early in the morning, but couldn’t check into the hotel until 3:00. We contacted Gloria to fill in before checkin. She was able to make magic happen! Gloria is professional, knowledgeable and accommodating . We have gone on dozens of Tours by Locals tours. Gloria is one of the best!!! If you are ever in Barcelona, please contact Gloria for a wonderful visit to this beautiful city! You won’t be disappointed!!!
