We did a free walking tour with Lena in Barcelona. Would thoroughly recommend. She clearly loves her job and it shows in her work. Very informative, fun and easy to listen to for hours. Learned all about the history of Barcelona and it's Gothic Quarter in particular. I hope her mother sees this review!!

Aidan did the two tours we attended in Sept 2024. These tours are an excellent way to see the city and learn some history and facts about the city of Barcelona. We would 100% recommend these to anyone who only has a few days and wants to see some of the city without relying on guidebooks. Take advantage of a local (even the Irish ones 😜) they are full of information and recommendations.

We did two tours - the Gothic Quarter with tour guide Daria and the Gaudi tour with Lena! We loved both and they were completely worth our time. Both Daria and Lena were lovely and excellent at presenting material and keeping it interesting.

We loved how Daria brought the Gothic Quarter to life and felt that Lena’s explanations of Gaudi were so much better than simply looking at Gaudi’s famous buildings with no background.

I had the pleasure of joining Filipa on her tour, and it was truly an exceptional experience. Unlike many guides who rely on witty jokes and catchy but superficial stories, she approached the subject with the depth and professionalism of a professor. Her knowledge runs deep, and she masterfully presented the historical and cultural context from multiple angles, offering insights that made the experience both enriching and thought-provoking. It was evident that she is truly passionate about her field, and her ability to weave together different layers of information made this tour stand out. Highly recommended !

*Thank you Mel & Lena for adding a touch of history to our Barcelona visit*

Great walking tour with Lena for Gaudi’s work and ends with Sagrada Familie. Lena is a great storyteller, positive, friendly and detailed. Time passed quickly with lots of details and travel back in time! Lovely lady would diffidently go on another tour with her !!
Wish you all best of luck Lena in your passion / career as a tour guide :)

** Update :
We went on a second tour with same company to the Gothic quarter, this time with Mel, as our guide.
It was amazing, really enjoyed and learned a lot. Walks around Barcelona now means more after learning the history .

Mel is knowledgeable, she took us in on a trip through the history of Barcelona in the narrow isles of the gothic quarter.

Thank you Mel for the great time, I can tell you have the passion for what you do and also a proud Catalan !!
