The excursion to Figeres and Salvador Dali's home was the highlight of my trip to Spain. As tour guides their style was different than the other guides hired for my trip. Cristianna and Peter were timely and provided very good traveling conditions with a comfortable van, water if needed and a safe driving style. Salvador Dali's home had its own guide, so the information came from the home's sources. The town where he resided was a favorite with the setting, so European and on the water for the views. The cafe provided a great lunch. We asked both to join us and felt even more immersed into the culture. While in the museum I felt Cristianna was more of a director that pointed out features to not miss. Explaining Dali is likely something no one can really do., even Dali himself. This tour was a splurge for me, but I suspected it was my one and only opportunity. No regrets! I would recommend it to anyone!

Fabulous tour. Cristina was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and fun! We had an amazing day and we learned soooo much. Cristina’s driver, Peter, was also fantastic. A great driver, he was also knowledgeable and engaged. We could not imagine a better day!!!
Christina and Peter provided a fantastic experience. The pre-tour communication was excellent and timed perfectly right up to the pick up at the port. The vehicle was very roomy and clean, and Peter was a careful driver. Christina knew a lot about Dali and was able to highlight certain things as well as provide some anecdotes. I believe we actually ran over the time allotted and there was no rush to finish. Thank you for that. If you are a Dali fan at all, this is a "must" tour to learn more about the artist.
My family of 4 had the best time with Cristina. She was punctual and really took care of us. We had an amazing tour of Dali's home, the town of Cadaqués and finally the Dali museum. She was knowledge and great with the kids. Truly a lovely time.
What a fantastic day! Superb wine in an amazing setting that we can't wait to share with our friends. The Dali house is a must-see for anyone, even if you are not a particular fan. So very interesting. Cristina was with us the whole time and we felt quite comfortable, safe, and well-informed. And a nice lunch in Cadaques on the beach.
Our family felt extremely lucky to spend the day with Cristina. She is warm, generous, and full of enthusiasm for everything Barcelona! Cristina and her husband were attentive to our needs, shared hidden Barcelona gems, and treated us like old friends. We highly recommend using Cristina on your trip to Barcelona!
