Christians guided tour took us to hidden places we would have never seen exploring the city on our own. His explanations were perfect and absolutely interesting. We enjoyed having a short break on one of the quiet wonderful plazas, drinking a beer and talking about this and that. In the evening we had dinner in one of the restaurants, Christian recommended, it was great. Many thanks for this wonderful experience.

Christian provided an unique and interesting recounting of the less well-known neighborhoods of Barcelona. It was wonderful to immerse ourselves in the areas where locals live and work and understand the history of the city.

Christopher_C

It was great learning the history and architecture of the city. As well as some travel tips as well.

Absolutely loved it. I would have never found the places Christian showed us on my own. Book a tour, you won’t regret it!

"Our group of six had a perfect afternoon with Christian. He shared history, local knowledge, gave restaurant recommendations and answered all our questions about the area. My favorite part? He told us about a local flamenco show and saved me almost $300 on a tourist trap. Thanks, Christian! I wish we had had the time to take one of your food tours. Next time!"

We went on the tour with Christian through the winding alleys of the old town. It was more like a walk with a friend - great conversations, lots of explanations and stories. The time flew by. Thank you very much for letting us experience Barcelona and its alleys like this, we will remember it.

Michael was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful insight and overview of the history and stories of Barcelona. It was a very entertaining and interesting tour.

Barcelona etwas anders und sehr persönlich erkundigen - Christian und Michael sind dafür genau richtig. Wer wie wir so richtig neugierig ist auf Geschichte, Architektur, die (versteckte) Schönheit einer so wunderbaren alten Stadt, Lebensart, aber auch lokale Politik und lebhafte Diskussionen, wird die Führungen einfach lieben. Unbedingt empfehlenswert!

Unser tour Guide Christian zeigte uns viele verschiedene Plaetzchen und Örtchen in Barcelona abseits des Touristen Trubels. Politisch, kunsthistorisch ist er ebenfalls auf top Niveau. Habe viel Neues gelernt. War super Erlebnis, 2 thumbs up

Lieber Christian, es war eine ganz besondere foodtour. Du hast genau unseren Geschmack getroffen. Dein Wissen über Barcelona war sehr bemerkenswert und du hast uns ganz tolle Plätze gezeigt, die wir sehr wahrscheinlich sonst nicht wahrgenommen hätten. Danke dafür. Wir kommen sehr gerne einmal wieder. Liebe Grüße auch an Michael Susanne
