Olga was our favorite! She made the tour fun, engaging, and educational. It was a great mix of sites and the right amount of information to not overwhelm. She was also super helpful in recommending restaurants, where to attend mass, and even prior to our trip, she encouraged us to make sure we’d purchased tickets to go inside Sagrada Familia. I was unaware it often sells out. Olga is very knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time on our tour.

Well Olga met me at the hotel which was in the Gothic quarter . She is very knowledgeable and extremely fluent in English. We did a walking tour of the different areas in Barcelona. Fantastic tour. Highly recommended. She knew where to take me and how to avoid the crowds. I strongly recommend her.

Another great tour with Olga! We did a lot of customizing and asked her to take us to Park Guell and shorten the downtown tour, but both aspects were great and especially the knowledge and storytelling! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Barcelona.

Olga is a gem! Very informative, resourceful and fun. We learned so much about the depth of history in Barcelona! Our tour took place during the Merce festival and she thoughtfully made a detour so we could see the parade giants and animals and learn about the event. She also provided restaurant suggestions and thoughts on other key sites. A wonderful 3 hours in and around the Gothic Quarter. Muchas Gracias, Olga!
