Our half day tour of Barcelona with Lydia was exceptional. She is an experienced guide, knowledgeable and personable. Lydia took us through the Gothic Quarter, Park Guëll and Sagrada Familia. Her explanation of Gaudi and his impact on Barcelona was fascinating. Highly recommended.
Ann R.United States
What a fabulous tour! First of all, Lydia was flexible about out meeting times. Lydia was a tremendously informative guide through the Sagrada Familia. She was so knowledgeable about Gaudi, the construction, the design, and lots of little known facts about the beautiful cathedral. After, we went on a walking tour through the old walled city within the city! We had all been to Barcelona before, but NONE of us had ever known about the walled city. I highly recommend Lydia as your tour guide.
Amber T.United States
Lidia was wonderful! Because of her, we learned so much more about the City, its history, and Sagrada Familia than we could have otherwise. She was very personable and tailored various items to my husband, son, and me individually. We had a particularly windy day and she took it all in stride. Definitely recommend her.
Janice L.Spain
Lidia S is an excellent guide not only because of her extensive knowledge but because she clearly loves her city and enjoys sharing it with clients. We emailed ahead of our tour in order to customize it and Lidia was very flexible. Since we we were arriving a day ahead of our tour, she also provided ideas for activities we might do in our own. During our tour, she gave us a list of some of her favorite restaurants and we followed up. We highly recommend her to anyone who appreciates personalized service.
Mona C.United States
We were very fortunate to have Lidia as our guide. She is from Barcelona and knows her city inside out. It was fascinating to see the Sagrada Familia again after ten years. Lidia has been guiding for over 20 years so understood where we left off 10 years ago and what had been done since. Her knowledge of Gaudi the man was vast. The second half of our tour took us through the old colonial part, and the market. We can highly recommend her. She's delightful.
