Julie is an absolute gem of a guide. Her Gaudi tour is well-presented, and she’s excited to share what she knows. Julie knew the right spots to take photos of our group. She was friendly and cheerful throughout our four hours together. She speaks excellent English. I would rate her as a top guide. She also had great lunch recommendations.

Our Gaudí tour in Barcelona with Julie was absolutely amazing and one of the highlights of our trip. Julie was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly passionate about sharing the beauty and brilliance of Antoni Gaudí. Her enthusiasm was contagious—especially with the younger adults in our group, who quickly became engaged and excited to learn more about his work. We visited the breathtaking Sagrada Família, which left us in awe. Julie’s insights brought the architecture and symbolism to life in a way that made the experience even more meaningful. We also stopped at Casa Batlló and Casa Milà from the outside, and Julie’s explanations gave us the perfect foundation to better appreciate them on our self-guided tour the next day. Julie was warm, engaging, and genuinely happy to have us on tour. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to introduce us to the genius of Gaudí and Barcelona.
