Barcelona Old Town and Gothic Quarter Walking Tour - We had a wonderful and informative time Ms Montse! Myself my wife and 2 kids (14 and 11) enjoyed our tour thru the streets of old town. Learning about the history, arts and architecture helped put our visit in the appropriate cultural context much needed in this day and age. She also guided us to an 18th century chocolate store, gelato and authentic restaurants and flamenco show. We would highly recommend!

Outstanding guided tour - Montse was our private guide in Barcelona and covered wide ranging and in-depth topics —from where to have tea high above Plaza de Catalunya, Catalunya’s complex relationship with Madrid and where to find authentic flamingo dancers for later that night. As we walked through the Gothic Quarter she told us about the history of the wall that surrounded the city centuries ago and pointed out the ancient Roman walls, columns and aqueduct. If I remember correctly, she said the ground was all sand covered at that time. She took us to Barcelona’s photomosaic tile wall, St Jordi’s door, told us about Barcelona’s 100 families, the history of Catalonia and the culture of Barcelona. We stopped inside Picasso’s ‘restaurant’ to see his drawings hung on the wall. She answered all our questions. Seeing all these cultural/historic places put into context was enlightening but the highlight of this tour was leaving with a better understanding of Barcelona, Catalonia and their place in Spain. Afterwards, Montse tipped us off about where to find the freshest local tapas for lunch. She later sent us even more information to read over after the tour. If this is the quality that we can expect from IN-OUT Barcelona Tours, then they will be my first choice for our next trip. I couldn’t recommend this more. We’re so grateful to this knowledgeable guide for introducing this beautiful city and Catalonia to us. Thank you Montse!

Great personalized tour of Historic & Contemporary Barcelona - Stephanie is an enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable guide that puts stories and historical context to all the buildings and streetscapes you are surrounded by. The tour is very interesting, lively experience; we really appreciated having personal tour in that Barcelona is busy, and the Gothic and Born areas are full of tourists- so nice for just the 3 of us for conversation and picking out places of our interest. Highly recommend this tour, company, and guide. Nice communication also to ensure we found each other.
