We did two trips with OHMyGuide in Barcelona. One was a sweet tour and one was a Guadi tour. We are a family of 12 with Four children (ages 3-14). Both guides (Delores and Oliver) were fantastic. They were terrific with kids and easily accommodated our needs, for example, making sure we had time to get food for the kids. Cristina worked with us to find the best trips for our family. Thanks to everyone for making our Barcelona trip do enjoyable snd meaningful.

The sweets tour is a wonderful way to see the architecture of city while also learning about the culture and enjoying sweet treats! We enjoyed turron (a nougaty dessert usually eaten at Christmas), cream, hard candies, and so many other sweets we never would have tried otherwise. The neighborhood was equally interesting. Cristina is knowledgable about the city, and told us about the history and recommending other places and experiences that I never would have found otherwise. We've also been on her Sitges tour and Barcelona crimes tour and would recommend them all.
