The Best guide in Barcelona! No one could have had a better experience touring Barcelona than the one we enjoyed with our friendly, delightful, and knowledgeable tour guide, Laura! Walking through Barcelona, she revealed “secrets” that lay behind doors we would have just walked past, had we been in on our own. Her extensive knowledge of Spanish history, religion, and customs enriched our appreciation of Park Guell and Sagrada Familia and all of Barcelona so much! We had such a wonderful day with Laura, and felt we had made a new friend in Spain! It was definitely a 5 star experience!

A perfect Guide Laura is an exceptional guide. She is smart, intelligent, and knowledgeable and easily conveys lots of information without overpowering her clients. Laura is also a really nice person and we very much enjoyed our time with her. We feel fortunate to have found her, as we were originally planning to just take the train to Figueres and Girona from Barcelona, and do the tour ourselves. We are so glad that we did not do that as we learned so much from Laura in a very short period of time. Bravo, Laura, Bravo!

Laura + Dali Trifecta= Perfecto The best day! We spent a whole day with Laura as she transported and guided us through the quirky and interesting Dali museum and his homes in stunning Cadaques and Pubol, Laura's knowledge, passion and appreciation for all things Dali was remarkable and thoroughly enjoyable, informative and contagious, What makes Laura so special is her genuine personal touch . She is interested in people and speaks to you and with you. We really enjoyed meeting her and just talking to her. I think that is the best thing about travel! I highly recommend Laura to anyone visiting Barcelona. And this is from someone who has been to Barcelona at least five times before------She is a gem!..

AN AMAZING GUIDE!!! What a WONDERFUL experience! Laura is extremely knowledgeable about all topics regarding Catalunya history. She’s very organized and took care of all of our travel plans to the Dalí museum, Girona and our return transport back to Barcelona. We spent an entire day with Laura and thoroughly enjoyed our experience, as well as her company. We will recommend her to any family/friend planning on visiting Barcelona.

Barcelona with Laura! We had the extreme pleasure to book Laura for 4 different tours during our time in Barcelona. We spent 2 weeks in Europe and truly our days with Laura in Barcelona were the highlight! She customized our experience so that we had 2 day full days outside of Barcelona (Dali Museum/Girona and Montserrat/Wine Tasting) and 2 full days in Barcelona city. Every day was our favorite! We were lucky to have friends join us last minute on one of the days and Laura was flexible and happily helped us get the extra required tickets and move around the itinerary to make it work. The special thing about Laura is that she is an expert in all of these sites and genuinely loves sharing all of her knowledge, which she does in such an energetic and passionate way. Laura's restaurant suggestions were definitely our favorite meals and we are still raving about them! Also, Laura suggested Sant Pau as one stop during our city tour. Truly an amazing place and we would not have known without Laura's suggestion. We loved Alex the driver also! 5 stars +!!

Chicagoans tour Barcelona My family just returned home to the US after a fantastic visit to Barcelona. We did a half day tour with Laura, and it was the best money spent! We got so much out of the tour and learned so much about the city-both general facts and lots of "secret" information you would only find from being on a tour with Laura. She is so knowledgeable and so much fun to be around. If there was a way to give a 10 star review, I would!

Our 5 star tour Bona nit!! In short Laura is the best! We started our relationship through a video call which was extremely informative and reassuring that we were going to experience the true Barcelona with Laura. She is such a joy to be with and offers an extensive amount of knowledge on the Catalonian culture, history and lifestyle. We toured the Gothic Quarters and ended at La Sagrada Familia. During our walk through the 'Old Town' Laura pointed out so many secret little details that you would not get while walking on your own. Her knowledge will impress you to say the least on every aspect of her tours. Do yourself a favor and book with Laura, not just one tour but many and you WILL not be disappointed. Fins La proxima vegada, Laura!!

Catalonia with Laura Tours Barcelona—Magnificent! In short, Laura is outstanding. If you can hire her, do it. My husband and I had 2 amazing weeks in Barcelona. We were fortunate to have 6 tours with Laura along with her guidance regarding everything Catalonia has to offer. Laura is extremely knowledgeable about Barcelona and the surrounding areas including history, geography, art, architecture, food, music etc. Her knowledge and love of the area is abundant and shared in all she does if you are fortunate enough to have her as your guide. She helped us develop a tour plan that enabled us to see and learn so much of the area’s history and its culture, including many things we would not have known about had she not suggested them. She also made the experience great fun and hassle-free. The detailed version is below.Our first tour was a walking tour of the Gothic quarter during which Laura taught us a tremendous amount of the history of the area dating back centuries. Our next tour was an Art Nouveau tour including Casa Mila and Park Guell. We then did another tour of the City and its incredible architecture including a panoramic tour, a walking tour by the sea, a tour of Sagrada Familia and a tour of Hospital Sant Pau. I, probably like most people who visit Barcelona, read some information about Gaudi and his architecture and was very eager to see it for myself. I was, however, totally unfamiliar with the work of Lluis Domenech i Montaner. When Laura suggested a tour of Hospital Sant Pau, I was a bit skeptical, but thankfully, I trusted her. It was amazing—one of the most incredible places to which I have ever been. I never would have known to even consider going there without Laura.We also had several day tours outside of the City. We went to the Dali Museum. Laura knows a tremendous amount about him, his work and his life, which made it fascinating. From the museum we went to Girona, a lovely smaller city. The following day we headed to a couple of medieval towns at Laura’s suggestion—Peratallada and Pals. We also spent time exploring the Costa Brava. This was another excursion we would not have know to consider without Laura and it was a favorite part of the trip. Our final tour was to Montserrat, a beautiful place.Laura also made the journey hassle free—she bought the tickets for everything we needed in advance. She took care of the transportation, whether it was public or private with her excellent drivers. We never had to wait on any long lines. Even when she was not touring with us, she had great suggestions on restaurants and things to do/see.In addition to being extremely knowledgeable and well prepared, Laura is never boring. She is a completely charming and delightful campion bringing her part of the world to life with her enthusiasm, knowledge and stories of the history and culture of Catalonia. In short, to repeat, if you can hire her, do it.

While I was preparing for a trip to Barcelona, Spain I found Laura on Instagram. She had posted pictures of a town in Spain called Girona. I had a few free days to fill so I reached out to her to see if she did tours. Lucky us, she was a licensed tour guide. In the week leading up to us leaving for Spain, Laura sent us a detailed itinerary of our day trip to Girona and instructions on how to purchase train tickets. I wanted to buy them in advance so Laura offered to meet me via Zoom so she could help me. It didn’t work out but after Laura investigated, it was no fault of our own. She went above and beyond by purchasing the tickets for me and having me reimburse her. Once we arrived to Spain she checked on us twice to ensure we didn’t need help or recommendations around Barcelona. A few days later we met Laura in Girona, as planned after following her directions. She is truly a nice person!!! As we walked through Girona, she showed us all the sites, both historical and the GOT scenes since some of us were fans. While in the Jewish district a pigeon pooped on me! Laura handled it professionally and kept everything moving along so positive. She was spot on in her restaurant recommendations, she introduced us to the native xuixo (shoo-shoo) dessert and again, was so knowledgeable throughout the entire tour of the history of each area. I’m so glad I found Laura! I would recommend her tour of Girona over and over again. What a lovely day trip from Barcelona with an equally lovely person. Thank you so very much Laura!
