If you only have ONE DAY in Barcelona and you want to optimize your time to the maximum, so that you can do in 1 day what you would do in 4 on your own, this is your tour! & I am your expert local guide! Having a private Mercedes Viano & driver give us the comfort, the possibility to cover all sites and views we normally cannot unless we use public transportation, but is not the same! You know for sure! Let's discover together the Great book of Nature that inspired Gaudí and how come he almost failed his final architecture exam! First new? This & other stories will be revealed if you book my tour :) I would like you to see the breathtaking views and also try the best tapas, ice-creams and other temptations for lunch. I like you to experience what a local would do in one day. . . yes! Is possible! Strolling Barcelona's heart & experiencing the rest with somebody that will listen and know what you want! This is it! This is a PRIVATE TOUR FOR YOUR PARTY ONLY I can create a customized tour in case you need
Such a wonderful day in Barcelona with Míriam! The four of us had a great time touring Barcelona with her, and truly enjoyed her depth of knowledge that she shared with us. Her love and pride of Barcelona and Catalonia really shone through. We all feel we need to plan another trip to explore Barcelona even further! We highly recommend Míriam to anyone looking to really learn about this wonderful city.
We have enjoyed dozens of ToursByLocals tours. Miriam is one of the absolute best of all the tour guides we have had. We would give her more than 5 stars if we could. Highest recommendation when you are in Barcelona.
If you are looking to get a good idea of what Barcelona is about then this is the tour for you!!! Miriam has extensive knowledge of Barcelona and all of the wonderful history it has to offer. She is an excellent guide! She is friendly, caring and takes your groups needs and wants into consideration at all times during the tour. This tour covered all of the must sees of Barcelona and got it done in one day. You do not get to spend a lot of time in any one place but she does a great job of pointing out the highlights and keeping you away from the areas that would just waste your time. I feel that we got the best of every site that we could in the time we had available. To sum up our experience with Miriam in one word...... WOW! If we go back to Barcelona I would strongly consider a different tour with Miriam. 10 stars if I could give her that rating.
Miriam is a very experienced and passionate guide who loves Barcelona and her job - and it shows! We thoroughly enjoyed our full day with her and she made sure we saw as much as possible (although, one day in Barcelona is hardly enough time!). Don't hesitate to book with her. She's very knowledgeable and accommodating depending on your interests.
We had the most fantastic day with Miriam. She customized a full day tour for us and it was the best day of our family vacation! We started in the Gothic Quarter before jumping into the Gaudi highlights. We stopped along the way for a playground, churros for the kids, and a delicious tapas lunch. She is knowledgeable, funny, engaging and made every part of the day fun and interesting. We were able to avoid the lines and crowds. Miriam even helped with our plans for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend!
The tour was excellent in every way.
